I could order something online from any of these merchants, then void the transfer after they shipped and never pay--and nobody would ever, ever know.

Holy crap can you void my Newegg transfer?

wow, that's totally my job too (though I work for a web hosting company)

we're in the midst of setting up a brand new facility from scratch right now, so things are kind of crazy, but once all the infrastructure is in place, my job will be pretty much auto-pilot. 5-6 new setups a day and sitting in the noc watching movies in between and on the weekends

My job involves networked printers and Mac workstations. I study while at work.

Hahha "treat my meat with care"

I work with a bunch of powerful superhero midgets disguised as severely/multiply disabled and chronically, terminally ill patients. Their special abilities consist of, but are not limited to, mind-control, ESP, reality warping, merging, invisibility, love and strength.

They only reveal the secrets of their powers to a few nurses and parent?s who are dedicated to their care. They?ve entrusted me not to reveal these secrets. If I tell you, they?ll know. They know everything.

We have a website.. so stop calling to ask stupid questions! If you looked up the phone number on the website, surely you can find the address as well since it is right beside the phone number.

Most of the ceiling-mounted security camera bubbles at Wal*Mart are empty. At least where I used to work.

Actually, NewEgg was the largest merchant we had. Along with Blizzard and Alienware.

And yes, I could have. And no, nobody would ever know.

If you get upset, unreasonably, you'll get put on hold while i post on ATOT, look at myspace and finally come back and tell you that my manager is busy with another customer. (In fact this post was inspired by by the guy who's on hold now)

alas, i have left blockbuster behind for the oil and gas industry... and I'm not special enought to know any secrets in this industry.

 

[Exterous]

Holy thread resurrection batman.

If you talk to me on the phone and then ask for a manager I will put you on hold for 5 minutes and then talk to you in a slightly different voice

Valet secrets...from a different time...

We will not steal (most of) your shit. Exceptions are as follows:
- pens, if we need a pen
- gum, if we need gum
- drugs, if we can find them

if you have a fast car, we will drive it. fast.

if you have a vehicle that looks like an offroad vehicle, it will be taken offroad.

we only run until you can't see us...
unless you tip us first

if you tip us enough, we will do almost anything.

if you are a jackass and we remember you, expect to wait a long time for your car.

if you are CONSISTENTLY a jackass, expect bad, BAD things to happen to your car.

knowing how to drive a stick shift is not a prerequisite to driving your manual transmission car...

in fact, many learn how to drive stick on the job

most damage is left unreported...

so you should ALWAYS inspect your car before leaving the lot

Here's a tip for you guys that valet your car and care-

tip the valet when you drop off your car. tip the valet when you pick up your car, BEFORE he goes and runs off to get it.

You mean tip the valet twice before and when you pick up your car? Here's a person tip from me, if something happened to you car when you drop it off for valet, speak with the manager in charge and get the shady kid fired.

You need to go back to college and retake your english course again. Clearly, you demonstrate your inability to write proper english.

actually i just don't give a shit. this is fucking ATOT, you want me to type my posts in MLA format or something?

You can talk to the manager if you want, but w/o proof they're not going to be able to do anything. Not to mention, do you WANT to deal with that hassle? Sure you'll get your car repaired, after 2 weeks of BS and a few days w/o your car.

I'm telling it like it is, you can sit there and pick at my english or you can take the post for what it's worth.

I would say 75% of all cars handled by valet's are handled problem free. 25% are dinged, mainly door dings. You valet ticket pays us to do the bare minimum, which is park your car in a stall. ANY stall. a dollar or two at the beginning might net your brand new 911 turbo parked across 3 stalls in the back corner of the lot instead of between a pair of ford excursions tucked in compact stalls.

A few bucks before you pick up your car might mean a 2 minute wait vs a 30 minute wait.

If your ATM card is not on us and it gets stuck in the machine, we have to destroy it. I doesn't matter if you come in 5 seconds after we get it, we still cut it in half.

 

[Platypus]

sorry, don't want to go to federal pound me in the ass prison :shocked:

 

[Ns1]

Some more...

Your keys are often left inside the vehicle, until it is parked in the parking lot.
Your car is usually locked...
...USUALLY
The keys are almost never safeguarded
If you tip us, we NEVER look/check your ticket when claiming the vehicle




Valet translations
"take care of my car", no boot: we will treat your car like every other fucking car we see
"take care of my car, plus small additional consideration: we will not abuse your car and park it in a manner which presents the smallest likelihood of damage to your vehicle
"take car of my car", plus substantial consideration: we will park your car 5 feet away for your, mister VIP you

I had another bank's ATM eat my card. They held it for me to pick up the next day.
