I've had so many jobs over the years, that I don't know where to start:

Crab steamer-
If a steamed blue crab feels incredably hollow and light, don't eat it. Chances are that it was dead and decomposing before it was steamed.

Pharmacy clerk-
Addicts will try to con you into selling them controlled substances with no prescription. Xanax was a favorite of most that I remember.

Pizza cook-
A pizza literaly costs about $.35 to make in materials (dough, sauce, cheese, etc.). That $10+ you pay is all mark-up.

Resturant staff-
If you order Coke, chances are that you're getting "cola." If you order Sprite, you're probably getting "lemon-up." Everything we had was a knock-off of some type.

Retirement Home-
Old people have sex. OFTEN. They have nothing better to do all day really. Man, its pretty disgusting to hear an 80-year-old taking about jamming it home.

Mutual Fund sales-
Your money as a retail customer doesn't matter, no matter how much you have invested. Commercial relationships account for about 75% of business assets under management.

buy generic drugs in pharmacies...you think it's different...you feel like brand name stuff works better...but it's the same shit...just look for active ingredient....will save you as much as 40%....

DO NOT get personal training...most of those people are total douchbags who have no idea what they are doing. Best are coaches with CSCS certifications....

When signing up at certain gyms make sure 'personal training' sessions are not included. This will allow you to save couple hundred dollars up front.

well lets see:

Bartender:
Majority of Liquer bottles behind the bar are either watered down or "mixed with" another type of similar (cheaper) liquer.

retail clerk at GNC:
the products used for passing drug tests are really for if you "accedintaly" poison yourself and to make matters worse is your paying 39.99 and GNC pays usually 1 or 2 bucks for it. The mineral known as NOSITOL is known for cutting cocaine and GNC is aware of it and quadruples the price.

If I think of more I will post them.

You should see them in emergency rooms. I remember this one stupid bitch that was displaying all the drug seeking behavior to a "T". It amazes me that people like that think the doctor is going to take pity on them or be fooled by their bullshit. But apparently some are.

Addicts are really desperate. If they think there's even a remote possibility that it could work then they'll try it.

Just watch 2 Girls 1 Cup.

Remember "Kursk", the Russian submarine that sank almost 8 years ago in the Barents Sea?
It was pretty obvious that something caused it damage from the outside.

Was about to say that. Just ordered a 20 foot long HDMI cord from the manufacturer for $3.
