I'm sure they wouldn't have appreciated it if they knew.
HAHAHA what did you tell them? fo/ky?

One I've had success with twice:

When buying airplane tickets, request a seat in the emergency exit row. Once you're seated, tell the flight attendant that you don't think you can handle the duties that come with that position. If coach is full and no one offers to trade seats, they can move you to 1st class.

I try this every time I fly and it has worked twice. Most of the time someone will trade. But its worth a try

Most of the time it's a win-win situation because there's usually some extra legroom in that row.

Nice...we got re-stickied!


Oh, and to add to the thread...my gf started a new job at this local clinic, and you'd be amazed of the number of STD stories I hear. She said she sees like 3 cases a day.


Moral of the story...strap up folks.

they would hustle people and sell them training and then give you a general bullshit program that is pretty much common sense.

oh yeah, they would force you to try and sell heart rate monitors (which are useless) and protien to everyone you come across.

so happy to quit that job (XSPORT)

they also wont cancel your memebrship from the gym location, you will have to send a fax and repeatedly call the headquarters to cancel - they make it hard because they figure you will stop trying and just stay there.
I came back to to this post because I was just let go from Xsport because I did my own shit while I was there, never sold any HR monitors and didn't force my clients to buy protein, I only got 18 an hour and I am really worth more than that. There are trainers here in this one that miss a shit load of their sessions with clients and are left alone because they hit their numbers every month, they don't care about shit except hitting your numbers. worst gym ever

Ask questions, about every fucking med that is administered to you or your loved ones. Med, dose strength, frequency, therapy, etc.
make them aware that you are not as dumb as they are
STFU, you are probly an asshole and they want to kill you.
