Sadly with diesel fuel so fucking high and declining rates which have on average dropped about 20 bucks an hour, more and more truckers are retiring and giving into scabs. Fucking sucks bro, had 3 regular customers retire in the past month due to that shit. To top it off like lots of other trades, the weather effects shit, and this snow is killing us. Rain can fuck up one day and you can work around it but snow fucks up 2 or 3 days and leaves with nothing to work with. Metal is blue collar music, I fucking love it. Same goes for the musicians. |

When you get your change, very quickly swtich the $10 for the $1 that you hid up your sleeve before hand. Count your change in front of the cashier and say "Didn't I give you a $20?" She'll say, "yes, and I gave you $18 and change back." Show her the $9.00 in your hand. Tell her there must've been a single in the $10 drawer. Give her the single and she'll give you another $10. This works 99 times out of 100. You can make $8 per scam. If you hit a whole row of fast food places you can make almost $100 in an hour. |

| ______________________________________ [Feb 23,2005 6:57pm - the_reverend ""] wait, if less people are doing it, wouldn't there be more work? |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 23,2005 7:44pm - dyingmuse ""] naw, people are using vinly siding and concrete steel alternitve ways to build....it's killing me. and if you think about it, how many people from my generation do you know that are bricklayer...today, people are lazy as a whole, and people don't want to do hard work. and stock and brick prices are going up so we have to charge more, all of the sudden we are charging crazy money and peeps can't afford it.....sad indeed |

I worked in Brockton so long, I've seen that one a million times. Instead, go into that McDonalds, or Wendy's, or whatever and get an application. Most of those places will hire any retard with full availability to manage their restaurant. Salaries range anywhere from $600-$900 off the street with NO EXPERIENCE. I trained managers for Papa Ginos for a few years, and I really mean NO EXPERIENCE. I see how easy it is for any dipshit to get a good paying job daily. I work with most of the dipshits, actually. I have no sympathy for the unemployed, the welfared, or those shit-assed bums trying to wash my fucking windshield in southie. Get off my payroll. |

If you hit a whole row of fast food places you can make almost $100 in an hour. Tricks like that don't work on experienced cashiers such as myself. I always leave the money that the customers give me on top of the till until they leave. If the say they gave me something different I have what they gave me right there to show them. If they aruge about it still, I get a supervisor to count the drawer. I Know all the tricks and I never fall for them. However there are many cashiers who do. Most of them can't even count up change. If the register doesn't tell them what to give back they are lost. It's sad. |
