If the movie was half as bad as people claim, then the people that made it could easily have their opinions discounted wholesale for having been dumb enough to appear in it. :colbert:

Studio replaced the entire script after everyone signed contracts. The actors decided since they couldn't get out of it they would just be drunk the entire time.

I went to the opening showing of one of the really bad Scary Movie movies (can't remember if it was 3 or 4 or 5) with a friend, and literally the only other person in the theater was an old biker dude. If you for some reason weren't aware, that tells you everything you need to know about how bad that movie was.

Frickin Wal-Mart, when I worked there, someone cut their hair off and dropped it on the floor in the panty aisle which I found. Just a goddamn pile of hair.

What the gently caress.

When I worked at Wal-Mart I ran into all sorts of crazy people. When I worked at Target we had a phantom fitting-room shitter. She'd get a pile of clothing, throw it on the floor, and poo poo in the middle.

We had that problem too. Also once someone carried a turd into the store to place inside a hanging pair of lacy pink panties. A couple once involved me in their fetish when she flashed her bra at me while staring me in the eyes while he yelled "HELLO NURSE" because the universe is poo poo and I hate it.

Working the lingerie and sleepwear department was a wild ride.

I worked at Best Buy and watched a kid jiggle a poo poo out of the bottom of his pant leg, pick it up, and hand it to an employee before she realized what it was, and just hosed off into the video game area.

When I worked at a laser tag place as a teenager, part of my job was scouring the arena for literal poo poo.
Sometimes I found loose change during my nightly inspections.
Yes, occasionally the two coincided.

The worst hair thing:. I live behind a high school. That means my yard is the lint trap for teens.

My god, there's been so many times I got my guts ready to clean up a dead animal only to find it's the ugliest weave I've ever seen. Lots of weaves. Endless amounts of snack packages and fast food wrappers, but the weaves are the worst. They just look so hosed up, wet and bedraggled on the ground, the mesh lining looking like drying flesh curling in the sun.

Highschool kids are so nasty. Hair is so nasty. Everything is just so, so nasty.

When I worked at Meijer’s I saw an Amish woman poo poo herself while she continued walking. Across the aisle in front of the checkout. Dozens of people saw it and started screaming. Not liquid. These were solid adult-sized turds. Oh my god.

I had a weekend job in a cheese shop in secondary school. We had one elderly man who would come in, ask to sniff various cheese samples, and then sick up on the floor in front of the counter. The owner of the shop was "customer is always right" type, and told us to keep on giving him samples if requested. BAD JOB!

How does that even work? Like they asked for food but asked you to use the menu? or did they share and just chuck it on the menu?

They kept the menu, and just chucked food on it instead of asking for an extra plate.

Depending on how deep into the day's service that is, that could be pretty drat disgusting. One place I worked at only got a chance to give them a cursory disinfectant wipe at closing.

Yeah, we were basically a fast casual Taco Bell, the disinfectant wipe wasn't always guaranteed.

Oh hey, mine was also a casual Mexican eatery, must be traditional to have most of the food displayed as a texture on the plastic menu.

What's up with people making GBS threads in changing rooms? My wife worked for Macy's but said she had a poop free career there.

Maybe the old ladies are pinching their loaves at Nordstrom's instead for that really upscale experience.

Lordy I recall a lady 20 years ago pooping in the bakery of a Safeway, picking it up and smearing it all over the bread aisle.
She took pinching a loaf too literally.
