19. Major ISPs are highway robbers
I currently work for a regional ISP in southern california. We keep no records of IP addresses whatsoever, and I know for a fact that most other small and medium ISPs keep no records either. Moral of the story: don’t use AT&T, Verizon, Time Warner, Cox, or Comcast for your internet. There are always other providers, you just have to look harder to find them. AT&T & Verizon are required by law to let other ISPs lease copper for DSL service, and usually the small providers give better service and don’t keep track of your activities….
20. Walmart, save big
I work at Walmart and here are a couple secrets they don’t want you to know:
Almost anything can be returned, at least for store credit as long as it was bought at a Walmart. Sometimes you won’t even need a receipt unless it’s a very expensive item. Lots of people buy stuff like pools (especially pools), grills, awnings, etc. for the weekend and return them Monday.
If you complain to a manager you will get your way.
Yes, I see you approaching me to ask me a question. Yes I am pretending I don’t notice you while I briskly walk away. I don’t know where the fly swatters are at, please stop stalking me.
We have lots of cockroaches, giant rats and mice in the back. Don’t be too surprised to find a loaf of bread with holes in it. The backroom is not as clean and sanitary as you would assume. It’s also incredibly disorganized.
Walmart employees hate Walmart more than anyone on the planet.
21. There you go
I work in advertising.
Don’t believe ads.
22. This one too
I sometimes edit reality television and (this should come as no surprise to anyone) very frequently what you’re seeing happen in no way relates to what actually happened. This is a bigger deal on shows like “Whale Wars”, where we routinely faked whole conversations/conflicts. Yeah, that boat pitching around like crazy with people flying everywhere–cobbled together from 10 different moments…
