That is shy at the end of a working season you get so many road james as all the contractors are digging shit up to keep the quotas happy.
I've always heard that's the way it is here in the states as well. If the Dept. Of Transportation for a particular area doesn't spend it's full budget for the year, they get less next year. Anyone confirm or deny that?

This isnt that great but I used to work as a bouncer backstage at concerts. VIP passes dont get you any where backstage. The two best passes you can have are artist passes and crew passes. And of course the "God" pass this allows you go to anywhere you want when you want with whomever you want.

... and you can't bring your own food in. That is a damn crime, right there! You pay the high ass prices for that?
There's a theater here in Albuquerque called Century Rio 24 where you can bring your own food in. It's pretty cool, we always go in with a pizza or burgers and chow down while watching the newest movies.

I've actually been a mystery shopper. Did it for a few year for extra cash and free meals

Construction:
The bridge you are driving over, probably isn't up to the specs that were on the plans. The concrete cylinders and anything else that gets tested, get treated like gold. The actually bridge or whatever is done as fast as possible and as cheaply as possible.

I work at a country club, and all the Pros talk shit about the members behind their backs.

Here is a better one

There is this uphill par 3 which is not viewable from the tee and I was out on the course doing a check with another guy who i work with...this old guy hit his ball up on the green, we were up by the pin, and since the group couldn't see the green we put the ball in the hole. he though he made a hole in one....he freaked out and framed the ball.hehe evil i know

At bubble tea restaurants- the customer sits at a table and usually leaves behind his cup.
The waitress can take his cup and re-use the leftover tapioca balls.

An America guy wrote a book about restaurants and he said that some restaurants like to re-use food. Example, uneaten bread from one customer goes to another customer, leftover butter is reused for cooking, etc
