I worked at a small business making gourmet popcorn for awhile. Part of our set-up was a rectangular thing that held a rack of fans like these

They got turned on to blow cool air down onto the popcorn to help it cool faster. I worked there about a year and a half and they never got wiped down or cleaned. So it was just dusty gross air getting blown right down onto the food people ate.

Another genius idea was that there was no insulation over the air ducts so during the summer when it was hot from the popper and the caramelizers it just dripped water onto the floor. A steady trail of water app the way from the back to the front door.

Also my stepladder was a milk crate which is a huge safety don't.

Also, while that is a stupid variation on the salad, pretending you absolutely must preserve the original recipe is dumb as poo poo. Put some shrimp in there or pastries or whatever if it makes the salad better.

nah its the grilled bread most importantly, and is often just served rubbed with garlic and oil. the antipasto just gets most of the focus in american cuisine

i stand corrected. i always laboured under the delusion that it was the poo poo ON the bread, not the bread.

side note: restaurants are, in fact, the dirtiest places on earth. one place i worked at, which ground its own burgers, had such a bad cockroach problem that after a particularly vigorous bombing, hundreds of dead roaches spilled out of said grinder the morning after. no wonder all the food made everyone so sick

I lost my job at a restaurant because I "wasted too much time and got into arguments with other employees," IE, I tried to clean the grills and dishes properly and the greasy, unwashed, belligerent assholes I worked with wanted me to do their jobs instead.

I'm a firm believer in worker solidarity, but I'm not going to let someone get sick because the guy who makes their sandwiches wanted to go to his car to shoot up, nor am I going to to let some jackass manager rush me through my work in an unhealthy and unsanitary manner.

I worked at a bar once that never cleaned their urinals, like, probably fifty years worth of piss and cum and spilled cocaine.

Anyway urine eventually crystallizes, so one day the pissers backed up and started leaking out into the bathroom, which eventually leaked onto the dance floor.

it was like the one scene from blade but piss

e: I also caught my dealer loitering by the bathrooms because he was charging the customers a dollar to go pee. but that was another night.

Amazon Seller is Dumping Returns to My Home Address. What can I do? (self.legaladvice)

quote:

Some Amazon seller from China (verified by Amazon) is sending their returns to my home address. It's been happening for ~6 months, but the pace is increasing. I'm now receiving 2-4 packages every day. 20-30 lbs per week. All really cheap Chinese-made clothing.

I contacted Amazon months ago. They promised it would stop. Instead, it's gotten worse. I've contacted Amazon again. They again promise to investigate. Nothing has happened and no information has been provided to me that makes me think it will stop. It's now been over a week since the second contact to Amazon.

How can I make it stop for good? Is there any way I can revert these back to the seller somehow? Or back to Amazon? It's genuinely enough garbage in packaging alone that it's consuming valuable space in my garbage service and a significant burden to get all material to a Goodwill to donate it.

Packages come to me via UPS and USPS. I'm afraid to attempt to stop shipments from either, because I run a business out of my home. If they mistakenly hold packages I actually need I'll just be creating a new problem.
Located in the USA.

Anybody have a clever idea to get this to stop?

quote:

Email jeff@amazon.com. This email will be routed to the Executive Customer Relations department. There is a division of said department that deals specifically with sellers. They can help you!

Also, just some fun info. Overseas sellers on Amazon have to offer one of the following: cover return shipping to the country of origin, and/or provide a US based return mailing address. Knowing that, it sounds like they chose the latter and gave your address. They probably don't give a poo poo about getting the items back because they were overcharging for them in the first place and are charging a "restocking" fee, plus not refunding shipping costs so they are still coming out ahead.

quote:

I will try the Jeff email. I had heard about that, but was unsure it actually worked.

Yes, your summary of the situation is dead on. In one recent package the customer included the full page notes from the seller. The seller has standard wording which states in broken English, "Due to high shipping costs you pay, please keep the item and take our discount." And a few other sentences explaining how they don't want the stuff back and they'll pay you to keep the item. They want you to keep it, or throw it away, because the actual clothing they're selling is worthless. I found the listings. They're exceptionally over priced. $50 cover ups, $30 tee shirts. All of it is <$2 garbage you'd get from a street vendor in a third world country.

Also of note, about 75% of the items returned are not the item on the order slip. And I'm seeing lots of repeat wrong items. It appears the seller is continually shipping the wrong item to the customers. Hence, all the returns.

Thank you for the input!
