These are... 5 and 6 year olds, right? That's kindergarten age? I've worked with kids of that age and yeah no, what?

That's where you call shenanigans? Not that someone can remember that much of kindergarten? I don't even remember what the room of my kindergarten looked like or the teacher or if I ever got in trouble?

I do believe the kid would think his parents would be pissed if he went home with the word "fail" on his forehead though. Only if I were a parent it wouldn't be the kid I'd be mad at but the teacher because :wtc:

Why did that last person use a bandaid to stick their message to the wall? Did they not have sellotape?

I assumed it was supposed to be a college kid because they're all awful people and probably didn't have tape.

Lol who sends in resumes to work at Chipotle, like most minimum wage jobs they want to know your employment history and that's about it.

Unless minimum wage jobs have begun to request resumes for burrito-making experience, up to and including an essay about making the best burritos and being a team player

When I was job hunting last spring, I ended up filling out quite a few personality quizzes, and it's the most frustrating thing. You just know there's some egghead in an office who has worked out the "ideal" profile of the "ideal" worker, and it's a system that's really only rewarding people who know how to play the system, or who get lucky. I had one that asked me to rate, on a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), the statement "I am anxious most of the time." I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder. I feel anxious 100% of the time, except maybe sometimes when I'm asleep. I am absolutely positive that this falls into "questions a potential employer is not allowed to ask you." I got up from my computer, stormed around the apartment for about half an hour and considered ragequitting, then came back and finished the quiz. Pretty sure I lied on that question.

They hired me. I work there now.

Targets used to and might still ask what percent of politicians you think lie. Those tests are some of the most wtf poo poo

They don't need a resume or experience, they just want to know your skills and your work history!

Are you drunk? Am I?

Those minimum wage hells already ask for all of that on the regular application you fill out. From my experience it goes like this:

1) Visit website and fill out application filling in job history and experience

2) then after filling out your job history and experience they ask you to submit a resume which contains everything you just gave them in step 1 only their algorithms gently caress the formatting so you have to edit it

3) then you take a multiple choice questionnaire that tells them if you'll be worthless or worth hiring

Why bother having me fill out a resume twice just so I can play register jockey at a gas station for minimum wage and no employee benefits?

Ok so out of curiosity I looked up Fluevog, as I’ve never heard of Fluevog.

Most of the womens’ shoes on the website are atrocious, ranging from designer versions of Dutch wooden clogs, to basically fancier, leather Crocs, to fancy Birkenstock style sandals that go a little past the ankle with what looks like a thick crepe sole.

The waitstaff were probably laughing their asses off at those ridiculous shoes and they told this guy to come see for himself, which he did, attempting to stifle his own laughter.

These are the things she's bragging about

I tried making weed butter for the first time a couple months ago because my dog got pancreatitis and was losing weight from not eating. Only after making it did I do the research to see that 1. You shouldn't drug your dog and 2. High fat consumption is bad for pancreatitis. So I decided to scrap that idea and make a couple cookies with it instead. I ate 2/3 of a deece sized cookie at like 7pm and didn't sleep at all that night and was hosed up for like 24 hours. Work was absolutely miserable and I wanted to die. And I've smoked pot since I was 13, basically everyday between age 15-19.

I wouldn't spike my worst enemy's food because if someone did that to me I absolutely would have gone to the emergency room.

Thank you for being a responsible person. My fiancee got a text from her sister "my friend makes pot peanut butter for her dog to help keep the dog calm. Let's do that to ours!" And she sees nothing wrong with giving their little terrier weed.

When I went parents had their own separate events that day. I think the parents one was mostly trying to assure them that college was safe and not at all full of sexual assaults, underage drinking, theft and violence.

Of course my campus gave everyone a safety whistle and campus police said during orientation that tasers were allowed and advised buying one so I don't know how much I believe what they told parents

No, for some reason, sometimes a coupon that's supposed to be two dollars off of a five dollar item works for the dollar version of the item and then a coupon queen Facebook group will spread that info around. Most cashiers don't notice or care but if the store catches on, they'll start checking coupons. It's one of the reasons I'm glad I got out of retail.

I know it's fake, but it still doesn't make any sense. Nobody prepays for gas unless their car is already at the pump.

It's not unheard of for the wage slaves to put the money on the wrong pump but typically that isn't noticed until after the person has pumped and drove off.

Or maybe it was a guy who ran out of gas and had to walk to the station to buy a gas can. While paying for the can they prepaid on a pump but someone pulled up before they got out to fill the can.

This is the most believable part of that entire ridiculous post. My teacher had us read different parts like that when I was in high school. I remember doing the opening scene of Hamlet like that.

8th grade we did Romeo and Juliet alternating roles. Then once we hit 12 grade AP English we did Glass Menagerie with assigned roles. The guy who did the girl did his best Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force and the guy who was the male suitor put on a falsetto.

It's incredibly important that the students don't enjoy anything they're forced to read and thus grow up thinking reading is awful and bad. That was the way I was taught in school and it should remain that way drat it.

Ha. That’s interesting. Around here, most stations have cameras but but don’t actually bother to record anything (at least with the outside ones.) Somebody backed into my car WHILE I WAS LEANING AGAINST THE OTHER SIDE OF IT PUMPING GAS PETROL and drove off awhile back. The employee just kind of shrugged at me like asking him to check the tape was an alien concept.

At the one I worked at regular employees didn't have the option to go to the cameras and roll them back I believe it was a terminable offense.

Not that it mattered because we had 2 black and white cameras that had to cover the entire parking lot, all 12 pumps, so you couldn't see anything anyway
