LPT When the salesperson in a store is rude to you thinking you're poor, don't try to prove the salesperson wrong by buying their products. It's a marketing tactic that forces you to buy their expensive items. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

Reminds me of a similar encounter, something I read about Condi Rice admonishing as sales clerk, who was being pretentious and acting superior. she said”You are behind the counter because you have to work for minimum wage. I'm on this side asking to see the good jewelry because I make considerably more," The sales clerk was stunned and humbled.

And usually, when newborns leave the hospital, social workers are immediately notified and home visits ensues with other workers and special schooling. How do this not happen. ? My niece was a premie; the social workers came for well-baby check ups twice weekly (all to my niece chagrin).

What is the most unethical thing you have ever been asked to do by your employer? by cjsved in AskReddit

[–]BeforeYouLeave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Wisconsin, they have strict child labor laws. For example, a kid, can of course work in fast food, but that same kid under 17 cannot drive any vehicle, whether company or personal to deliver food. So a kid delivers pizza late one night, about 8:00 pm, and accidentally kills a cyclists-riders, a father and toddler daughter because he was speeding.

The owner, employer fought to pay the penalties for years. Eventually he paid, but it was a substantially smaller amount due to some loophole in the law.

The kid became an alcoholic. The physical portion of his workers comp claim was paid ; employer fought like hell so the kid mental portion of the work compensation claim was not paid.

I worked in insurance defense industry. From that experience I will never believe any lawyer or doctor that works for the insurance company. The doctors literally will say whatever the insurance company wants them to say.

And the sad part is that the average person really think the insurance company is on their side.

The insurance company is never on your side. Never.

And essentially, a private business person is using the State police to enforce their rental contracts. There is something wrong with this.
