A certain fruit company knows about you WAY more than you can imagine, and most of the information is accessible to even the lowest ranks of support. And yeah, my NDA is finally over.

They let the intern access the production db. The company is one of the biggest hosting and internet service companies in the country. The db was SQL but had no primary key.
I was the intern. I normalized it to 3NF as part of my internship project.
Congrats on not fucking it up (presumably). That must have been a lot of pressure, as an intern.

Shit, piss or vomit has graced just about every surface at your public pool and the staff are constantly fighting a losing battle against it. Nothing is washed just power sprayed till it looks clean.
The chlorine smell at a public pool isn't because they have the chlorine concentrate wrong. Its because people are peeing in the pool and the smell is a product of the chemical reaction between chlorine and urine.
Everything comes in frozen. Before mixing with the sauces it smells off. Half the staff mix without gloves. Dont get the tuna but have it your way...

I don't have any interesting secrets or facts from my current ex-jobs, so I'll share an interesting fact from a buddy's. It's one of those companies that offers automated phone systems (and chats, nowadays) that listen to your options rather than taking number inputs.
This may no longer be the case, but these systems were not actually automated. There are entire call centers dedicated to these phone systems, whereby an operator listens to your call snippet and manually selects the next option in the phone tree, or transcribes your input.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if advances in AI have made this whole song and dance less in need of human intervention, but once upon a time, your call wasn't truly automated - it was federated.

I worked for a furniture store. They used to buy mattresses and furniture sets for like $200-300 and arbitrarily sell them for around $700-1000. I used to be able to haggle with people and still sell them for like double what they cost. I hated that job for so many reasons

A friend of mine was a manager at a fairly upscale women's clothing store.
She said that even at 95% discounts, they could turn a profit.

A large pizza chain, it costs about $1 to make a large cheese pizza. Cheese is re-used as much as possible.
How do you reuse cheese? That is concerning.
If it was poured on the pizza and fell off, it's picked back up and put back in the bin if the health department allows it.
Just from clean sanitized surfaces? If so that I can get. Otherwise, icky 😬
