I think it's along the lines of him sleeping with the young stars of his TV shows
So...you guys just kept working with puke on the floor a few feet away? Didn't the smell bother you at least?
Yeah, I worked there for a bit but never had any issue. Charred meat was kept heated, then frozen for I think 3-5 days at most in cold storage. The meat was boiled in water, drained, chopped, then mixed into the chili and cooked. We also kept any chili we didn't use the previous night and served that in the mornings.
I actually thought our store was quite sanitary in terms of food safety, not sure about others though. Did have a Rally's down the street sell coke in their fish burgers and the Taco Bell just down from there had a guy shit in the ground beef. Never understood why people do this shit anyway.
Only thing I can think of is back when I worked at Panera, 11-12 years ago. Their frozen blended coffee drinks were disgusting. People thought we used regular milk (whole, skim, 2%, whatever) like Starbucks but the truth is that we used straight-up half-and-half.
Basically, their frozen frappacino-like drinks were some of the most unhealthy disgusting things ever. They've probably since changed that though.
Also, their paninis are some of the least healthy sandwiches I've ever seen.

......why is that bad?
you asking why drinking 2-3 cups of cream is bad?
I was going to the bathroom to puke and it was 100 feet away from my workstation so it didn't bother me but it bother the people working the conveyor belt, I went to clean it up but my said it wasn't my job to clean it up
Your conscience?

My company (largish company selling swimming pool supplies) enjoys a nice margin of well over 70% on many of the items we sell.
The store I worked at, the HVAC system was garbage so the air never was recirculated well, so we were constantly breathing chlorine day in and day out.
In the winter months many times the heat would break multiple times a month so we were working in a 50 F degree store. Not bad just really fucking annoying.
We routinely dumped buckets of water filled with chlorine and other chemicals and chemical reagents onto the street/surrounding dirt areas because there's no where else to dump them.
Yeah my company is shitty but not for scandalous reasons. Management and management/employee relationships are fucking awful and like most companies, don't give a shit about the drones in their stores.
Company is $25+ million in the hole for the year after opening more stores and sluggish sales early on. Solution? Open 20 more stores and gut the labor budget so the stores look like shit with no product and harass the managers to do all the work, literally, because they won't let anyone under assistant manager have any hours. So fuck them. I'm so glad I'm done.

Because you're talking about 40+ grams of fat for a drink that people think would have a fraction of that, without actually providing any extra flavor.

I use to do Gas and Electric utility work and I was shocked at how many residential gas leaks go unfixed (or half assedly fixed) because the tech is too lazy. They usually hide in parking lots of strip malls all day.
Also, those new digital electric meters they're installing? Yeah, the guy doing the work got about 3 hours of field training before he got a smack on the ass, a set of coveralls and a work truck. Insist that the actual Utility change your meter.

over 10 years ago the underage prostitution of the elite model look fashion agency girls has been exposed, these guys were drugging and banging the most beautiful young girls on the planet for years.
if that is possible, I dont doubt for a second that its unthinkable at AA, or hollywood or wherever

I figured as much. Isn't that how Hank got fired at the beginning of Royal Pains?
But really, people do get attached - either for emotional or financial reasons, and I don't know why people would expect doctors to be any different. Random kid versus your own?
Again, this was exposed. Dan Schneider would literally be molesting girls to whom he is giving a prominent world stage and deliberately staying behind the scenes. You think if even one of those girls said "this guy molested me" their millions of fans would believe some old fat dude they've never heard of over them?

Half and half isn't straight cream, it's half cream half milk. In a frozen blended coffee drink I doubt you'd be drinking 2-3 cups of the stuff. You know, with the coffee and ice that goes in I could see maybe a cup....but it's not like it's a secret that those drinks are bad for you.

Well first, it would take some time to expose someone with that sort of connection and power. That's how you fall off the map and never work another acting job again. Then there are the friends you have in the industry - you're bringing their stuff to the light as well.
Then there's the psychological hold that such a person has over their victims. Not saying it's truthfact, but it's easy to imagine how this could have gone on for years, particularly when you're talking about someone with money and power like that.
That's before the accusations that could hit the woman, like "she slept her way into her position." Alternatively, lack of support from others in the industry. Their fans can't cover all of the bases.
That's exactly what this rumour is, you realize.

I mean, that's one way to think about it. The other is that they were put into a terrible situation to realize their dreams. Hell, they were probably qualified to begin with.

Yeah - but they're talking your local mall employees for national retail chains. That's a little different.
Didn't say It wasn't believable - just an outrage. Not so clear where the mainstream coverage is.

I dont think anybody said it MUST be true. its a rumour, and one many people think might likely be possible. so do I, I dont say we can say with 100% certainty that it happened.
and I already gave a few reasons here why its quite possible that such a coming out never reaches the media. after all, its one of the biggest problems with abuse that most of them are never even told.

Abercrombie´s treatment of employees is appalling. I just read about it. The treatment of their customers is not good either. Putting video camera in changing rooms is really despicable.
I'm working in medical IT area. I'm not doing support anymore (thank god for that).
There is commercial software, that stores medical data about patients and there is no database password. NONE. They are using a sysdba user with no password. When I noticed that, I asked the company about it. They said - "well it's hardcoded and there is no way to set a database password". I was like "wttff are they crazy?"
And another commercial software used hardcoded username+password for the database. I found that out by looking into the .EXE-file.
They could have at least set up the database server to listen to local port only. But did they do that? Nope. In theory anyone accessing the network could have access to full patient records + medical data.

I work in the confectionery industry, i see that shit happen al the time as wel. People sweating in big vessels of candy, disgusting. I hardly eat candy after i got this job.
The stuff about Mind Control included at the bottom is the epitome of tinfoil-hat shit. Also mentions of "Zionism".

That damn cookie factory secret.
Worked at a pizza place, nothing too bad.
But some things that bothered me was that if you got sick, you couldn't get a day off and everyone else at work would get sick which would spread the disease to people who ordered the food.
We had an A rating, but our place was infested with fly's and our freezer was broken, we still kept an A even after a health inspector came in after all that, which really made me lose all faith in the food industry I mean our freezer was at like 50-60 degrees.

My mom used to work as a medical assistant at my doctor's office. When I'd come in they wouldn't charge me a copay and they'd write off whatever wasn't covered by insurance (to a point).

Honestly, it really shouldn't be much of a surprise and in comparison to the rest of these it really isn't that crazy.
The part that really got me was that the health inspector didn't care at all. I was even there when he did his inspection 0 fucks were given. I mean we had to buy a bag of ice for the walk in freezer that was about it.

I wish I had your health inspectors. We get three sets coming by all the time. The companies internal team, a separate audit company, and the state inspectors. And they will take off as many points as they can.

That it sounds crazy does not mean its not true, and even if you think the mind control bit is impossible that bit of speculation does not discredit all of the other claims.
I did not take this job, but I interviewed for a maintenance position at a Kellogg plant and did the walk through of the plant. Many of the rooms where the food is being produced require stainless steel conduit for the electrical wiring due to the chemicals that are used eating through normal steel conduit.
So yeah the stuff you are eating is made with stuff that will eat through steel.

All of those stars' fame hangs by a thread, and they spend a lot of their money. They would be cut out of any big deals, their popularity would plummet, and they'd be out of cash without a chance to make it in the industry no more than two years later. Crimes persist under the fear of sudden disorder. That's not mentioning how over night a lot of their "friends" would turn against them because no one has anything to gain from helping a victim in that industry but everything to lose. And soon enough the victim is branded crazy.
edit: Oh and for an industry secret: a relative of mine used to work in a milk production farm a few decades ago. There was a cleaning product used to clean the tanks and tubes, and he read the instructions and use the instructed amount which was the equivalent of one filled bottle cap. The farmer went batshit crazy, took the chug (size of a milk chug), and poured half of it in. He went on a tantrum and explained him how things work:
In the morning a truck comes to pick up the milk, which is pumped directly in the truck's tank. The conductor tests the milk first for bacteria, it's a quick process. If the milk doesn't pass the test, the truck won't pick up the milk, which would lead to big losses for the farm. But the amount of toxic chemicals is not verified, only bacterias. So the rule is dumb as much anti-bacterial agent as is needed to make sure the test is always passed. The product itself is cheap anyway, so half a chug instead of a cap is much safer and cheaper than not having the milk picked up.
But it doesn't end there; the truck itself is washed with the same type of chemical, and the same thinking is applied. The truck's tank is checked for bacterias too, hence it must always pass its own test, and again no test is done for chemical agents, just bacterias.
But it doesn't end there; every farm does the same, so all that milk pumped into the truck's tanks end up mixed together along with all the chemicals used.
And it doesn't end there; the bottling factory also has to wash all of its equipments with the same types of chemical agents, and the same thinking is applied there.
In fact, throughout the chain, the amount of chemicals used is exponentially greater because the monetary loses that would be implied from contamination are exponentially greater.
So by the same milk reaches the store, it's full of pipe-cleaning chemicals.
Stuff that will eat through steel... like water?
One of my first jobs out of highschool was to clean a PaPa John's flour silo at a food processing plant with a heated pressure washer. This was necessary to do on a regular basis due to the couple of inches of green mold that would grow on the inside of the silo walls.
It kind of does, actually.

This isn't some place I work for, but this is a 100% true batshit crazy story.
It just happened to me, about three hours ago. Rather I just saw it.
Never eating at the TGI Friday's at Hillsdale again.
A guy had a seizure, and the assistant manager told the staff not to call 9-11, instead frustratedly asking "don't any of you have medical experience?". He was more concerned with the image of an ambulance in front of his eatery than of being sued cause a guy died in his place of business while he ordered his staff to do nothing. This would make me sick just hearing about it, but this happened five feet from my friggin' face. I'm traumatized at how repulsive this man is. One of his staff did call 9-11, by the way. The guy is fine.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I've been waiting for confirmation of this for awhile now.
Thank you.
