In general, the structure and functionality of our military operations are pretty much crap-tastic.

Sometimes, when a sales associate at a shoe store tells you they don't have an 11.5...they do. And oddly enough, the likeliness of this happening increases the more annoying/rude the customer becomes.

dont ever put your mouth directly on soda cans, or anything can..........those boxes of cans are shipped around, stepped on, spit upon, dirt/rat/mice crawl all over the top while stored in warehouses

use a straw

If the can is loose, then sure, it prolly gets stepped on and dirtied. As for mice and spit: possible, but cmon.

I currently work in the beverages industry and think that until it gets to the store and is left in the hands of store employees, that the product stays fairly clean, certainly away from spit and mice.

But some retailers let their cooler slides get dirty and even develop mold, so that's where I see the biggest risk of getting something sick off the opening is.

If you're paranoid, wash the tops, but otherwise, let your immune system take care of biz.

My old job

When you get a call from a telemarketer, they don't call you directly, the computer dials 10 numbers and the first to go through gets called. The people you are speaking to you didn't dial your number.

Organic food isn't always what it is cracked up to be. Organic "law," the rules and regulations pertaining to how things are qualified as organic, permits for non-organic, non-natural chemical alternatives in the absence of a natural/organic ingredient. So, when you eat something that is labeled as 100% organic, there is a chance that it isn't, and you are still eating chemicals, albeit at a likely non harmful level. If you were to choose between "conventional," "organic," or "all natural," all natural is typically your best bet. When it comes to produce and meat, stick with organic. When it comes to boxed items, breads, cereals, waffles, etc., don't always buy into the 100% organic hype. There are necessary loopholes to allow chemicals in. The FDA refers to these chemicals as GRAS (generally recognized as safe). So consumers are at times misled into believing that their food is 100% organic when it is not.

insurance agents are some of the biggest liars out there.

My old job at a college athletic department
Student athletes get a ton of benefits. Athletic scholarships pretty much extend to some underhand stuff like vehicles, "book vouchers" which turn out to be bling vouchers, laptops, sneakers, free clothes, food and all kinds of other stuff. That's why I'm never in favor of college athletes being paid, they already got it pretty damn easy.

Sports Authority and most likely any retail place
We didn't keep an inventory for small stuff like candy, drinks, small toys, baseballs. So if it's stolen it really don't matter, I found myself eating candy and stuff all the time without paying for it.

I'll leave my current job out of it, the government be lurkin
