I love doing this. It normally takes up a decent chunk of the day and is fun as hell to smash shit to bits with a hammer then lob it down a compactor chute.

Also, if you work retail, most places have policies against accepting products from vendors, but a lot of times all you have to do is ask for something and they'll bring you a shit load of free food, soda, whatever. If you get in good with them a lot of times when they come in they'll just hand shit to you and let you have it.

When I was in highschool, over the summer I used to work for my friends dad doing construction. If I were ever at a site that didn't have an open bathroom/porta-john I'd find a place on the property and pop a squat. I've shit beside probably 6 or 7 different pools. Good times.

Another couple....

Pepsi employees are not allowed to wear red.

Coca-Cola employees are not allow to wear blue.

Walmart - when you see someone stocking the shelves with Pepsi or Coke, it's not a Walmart employee. It's actually a Pepsi or Coca-Cola employee.

That's funny. I was told by a coke guy once that if they were caught drinking pepsi that they'd be fired. I worked for Budweiser at the time, and they had a similar policy, but it's not like you were ever drinking beer on the job so it really didn't matter.

Sounds like some gang shit up in hur.

"Gotta stay true, so what should I do. Should I hang wit da red or should I bang wit da blue?"

My grandfather used to be a Pepsi deliveryman. He's now hanging out at the big Pepsi vending machine in the sky, but maybe my grandmother or aunt knows. I'll have to ask them about it.

When my family had our store we used to have a coke cooler and a pepsi cooler. One day the pepsi guy came and saw non-pepsi items in the pepsi cooler (like mango juice). He said that wasn't allowed. My mom asked the coke guy if it was allowed in the coke cooler. He said it was fine as long as it was on the bottom shelves. Then he gave us coke t-shirts. Mine was blue with gray lettering.

Yeah, the most interesting ones were busting cases of knock-off beverages in the dumpster, and going to town on mattresses with knives and sledges until they were completely useless.

Pretty shitty when they could have easily been picked up by a non-profit.

I was a supervisor in a computer store like 10 years ago. They always just let us sit the stuff out by the dumpster and put it in our cars after our shift was over.

it's not really specifically related to any business but it does get me free shit.

instead of being buddy buddy with any manager or business owner when i shop or eat out, i befriend the cashiers and the guys that mop. for example in a mcdonalds near me, i treat the cashier's like they are celebrities and make their shitty job seem worth while. in return, after so long of making them feel appreciated, they start to put extra food in bags for me. after so long after that i stopped paying all together. so far i score movie tickets, food and discounts on clothes just because im cool with the lowest man on the totem pole. they give a fuck about the job and feel like shit anyways so they are happy to help you out.

Most food places are very VERY clean. My friends own restaurants and are very strict on this.

Most people who were loan officers and stock brokers were doing coke in the bathroom and have blown a large portion of their money on that.
