I said goth phase personally, because of the shirt being black and the little hearts on the shirt looked like planchettes, (those little triangle things that go with ouija boards) but I can definitely see emo too lol
Matthew going "Can you imagine? In a Target? A Subway? K-Mart! With McDonalds! Crazy!" And me sitting here with both of those exact combinations 15 min from my house is ridiculous to me.
Yeah that’s also what I was thinking when he talked about the alcohol stores in Walmart. Like, I don’t know about my Walmart, but my Target has one of those
I had to pause to giggle a moment when I got there, especially since he specificly brought up Target as an example. I've seen starbucks (a LOT of starbucks) and also Subway but not as much but like... So many different food places just in a Target and it's just you know... life. Walk into a target, there's a Starbucks or a Subway or i swear I've seen an Auntie Anne's in one before just... right by the doors. The one closest to me has a Starbucks on one side of the doors (by the bathrooms fittingly enough) and then on the other side behind all the cashier places I think there's something else but I never go there cuz I have no money to pay attention to whatever else is there. I just notice the starbucks cuz it's hard not to see
big thanks to James for being a homie and letting me use his vid 💙 also sorry about the audio EDIT: Also sorry, a small portion riiight at the end of the video had to be muted - got a copyright claim for music James used lmao
Dude are you hiding a goth side? That shirt looks great and the lighting makes it look like your eyes are a bit darker. What’s a RU-vidr without a ‘makeup artist does my makeup’ episode? Ha. I love your nails and transparent shirt regardless. Video sounds fine! Could be worse!
previous sooubway employee here- I can confirm the general rule for sooubway sandwiches is there should be one topping for every bite of the sub. Usually they hold out on olives due to how expensive they are. (I agree it's kind of unfortunate)
Okay, so from what I understand from past jobs, the "social security" lock is less about keeping the building safe and more about keeping a log of employee hours. Even if you're not opening/closing the building, you still have to clock in/out through the same system. It's the only way a social security lock could make sense; if it's not 'just' a lock.
plus if stuff goes missing, they have a log of who was the last to leave the building. Makes it easier for pinning down time lines and narrowing down suspects. You know just in case. Yes, I'm a bit of a crime nerd but from a logical standpoint this security system does make sense but would be a pain in the butt to deal with on the security team's end with so many passwords to keep track of. XD
And if Something goes missing or if the store is robbed after-hours the alarm log will show what code was used last to either set the alarm or to get in. So it can show who was the last one out of the building or potentially who used their code to get in after-hours and steal things
Fun fact: the Campbell Soup poster was probably an Andy Warhol replica. Andy Warhol was a famous painter in the early 60s and he's most famous for his 32 Campbell's Soup cans and the Marilyn Monroe Diptych.
31:40 “These floors are the very same floors that I used to mop.” *Swiffer ad plays* It was most likely unintentional, but that got a good laugh out of me.
When he said he worked for Wengie my childhood heart just sprung into the sky. Wow... after all these years her name has once again come into my life. Like when he said he was in australia I was like "ah! Australia again :).." And i dismissed the thought without really connecting it to her. When he mentioned her I was like star struck bruh that's crazy
@@MaddyPerez128he didn’t want to say the actual code cause like, yeah that’s just stupid if he said that, so he just made up a social security number thing cause since it’s different for every person it’s basically impossible to ever get it right
Matt talking about how weird it is for Walmart to have a subway in it by using target as an example is funny to me since my local target has both a Pizza Hut and a Starbucks in it.
Working at a Wendys once, i had a customer cuss me out at the drive through window because I said "Have a good day" and their dog had just died. HOW THE F AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?
OMG JAMES literally so hyped, love both you two so much!! I'm sure this'll be a super fun video :D Sidenote your outfit in this is a slay, the vibes are so good
I work at a cafe and James' story about the point system game based on how many ingredients the coworker could guess reminded me of something that happened recently. We have a drink called Blue Ocean or Blue Lagoon that is just blue curacao syrup and sprite, we ran out of the syrup so I put in several pumps of vanilla and french vanilla, and then cinnamon bun syrup. It sat for a bit so the ice melted a little and the whipped cream didn't look amazing, but the drink was green like the can of sprite used. I ended up adding lemonade, white chocolate syrup, raspberry black tea, and more. Thankfully I didn't add any milk or coffee, but either way the drink was a green and pink and after stirring it it became a dull pink. I was having my cowokers try it before I listed out the ingredients to them and one of my coworkers was so disgusted, which makes sense, I added stuff I didn't like and it didn't taste amazing. At some point my friend and her brother come in and order something, and I thought it'd be funny to introduce them to my concoction since the last thing I gave my friend was melon-flavoured and she didn't like it. After one sip her eyes widen and she hands it to her brother. As I list out the ingredients laughing, she and her brother pass the drink back and forth taking sips from it, wide eyes staring at nothing. By the time I get the drink back it's all gone, and my coworker in the back is talking to the other one "They heard all the ingredients and kept drinking!?" And that was my one free drink for the day all gone because my friend apparently liked it so much! So my coworkers allowed me to make myself some coffee for free lol. Either way, the only feedback I got was from a coworker saying it tasted like Six Flags, I thought it tasted too cinnamony which is not something I like.
At my job we are required to count the pepperonis we put on the pizzas, but luckily we have a pattern we follow so we don't even have to count it manually.
That soup can poster you saw in a club is actually a legitemate artwork by Warhol. In 2006 (I think) one of those sold for almost 12 million dollars. Doubt the club had an original piece tho.
11:50 I used to work at a McDonald's and I felt that with the number of people who insisted they knew better on how one of the sandwiches or other items were made( i.e. insisting that they wanted no tomatoes on a cheese burger even when notified clearly that the base McDonald's cheeseburger doesn't come with tomatoes unless requested by the customer on order).
12:40 generally certain procedures require the operator be above a certain age as to ensure the person be aware on how to properly perform them(and so the company can avoid liability charges regarding people under the age of 18, but you didn't hear that from me)
26:20 the gag where I worked was the "Bacon stretcher." Essentially the gag was if you had been there a while and you were dealing with a noob on their 1-3 day in the kitchen, you'd wait until you needed more bacon, then ask them to go back to the rear drive through people and ask for the "bacon stretcher," which in my opinion should've been a red flag from the start because "who stretches bacon?"(but whatever) and while they were back looking for it, you'd set down a set of bacon on the grill so when they came back with a confused look, you'd then say something along the lines of "nevermind, I found it." Then after they sit there confused for a min, tell them it was a prank.
lol the Campbell's soup can poster is actually a famous design done by Andy Warhol - this was like back when the Pop Art movement was becoming popular in the late 50/60s and that piece was one of the first pop art pieces :)
If they don't want the receipt you toss it in the bin under the register. At least that's how they do it at grocery stores. Or if you're me you keep them and roll them up tightly and see how big of a roll you can get.
"We had subway put vegetables in little cups all the time" "Really? That's a thing you can do?" When I was working at Carl's Jr somebody asked for a burger without the bun. Usually when people ask for that they mean in a lettuce wrap, which is the same thing as the burger but with all the ingredients wrapped up inside of a piece of lettuce like a burrito. It took some back and forth but she just wanted all of the ingredients, without the bun, stacked together and slapped on a plate, or in this case, a cardboard takeout box, and presumably eaten with a fork.
15:30 one time we had a group of three late at night and the two guys in the group tipped us $20 as away of apologizing for their drunk lady friend's behavior 😅
Sometimes people stealing things is just fully the dumbest thing possible. At the store I work at, there are some items we know would be easy to steal and cost enough that the store is like 'yeah, let's prevent that a little bit' so there will be display boxes or cards or whatever that you take to the register and then we go get the thing. The boxes and cards say they're for display and provide the directions. At least 4 times, I've either caught someone shoving display boxes down their pants or into their bags, or had somebody come through my register trying to return a display box for store credit.
The toaster at Subway is more like an oven. 'Cuz, you know, the sub bread isn't gonna fit in a traditional toaster. I have a memory from years ago where I asked for toasted bread on my sub, and they stuck it in a huge toaster oven thingy.
Am not American either but from where am from your ID number and social security number are different. Most people don’t know their social security numbers.
I’m from America and our SSN is basically the same as an ID, and it’s typically only a number you know, since if someone else found it it could be used for identify theft lol
Hearing stories like these, both from James (which, I watched these videos years ago so I've heard all his stories) and from you remind me of my own experiences I work at a salad place exclusive to like 2 states in America, Salad and Go, and it's drive through only so we don't even get the advantage of having face to face interactions as we're taking orders to kinda figure out what they want So they try and explain and we have to get very good at describing things to them so they understand 😭😭😭 And the lady who gets the pickles? Reminds me of all the people who come through and get the nastiest combinations of food I've ever made Like, why are you putting balsamic vinaigrette in a breakfast burrito you heathen Why are you putting oil and vinegar in a salad wrap Some people order a salad and then take all the ingredients they would have gotten with the salad off and replace them with new ingredients, to which my coworkers and I make fun of them
I found out my first job at the KFC location I worked at for five years 2005-2010 was closing down and so went back with every intention to help close and clean. It was Christmas Eve 2018, and I ended up being too tired after a long shift at Chick-Fil-A, so just ended up reminiscing and taking pictures with the final crew. Was supposed to have a meet up with some of my old crew as well, but I think only one person showed up. It’s now a Gold Star Chili- a Cincinnati Chili Restaurant- and they only tore down the front lobby and remodeled it. The only other thing that changed is they opened up the kitchen area. Everything else is pretty much the same, from the old front door entrance, to the DT window and the kitchen area. My KFC’s phone number is now defunct, but still the only number I’ve worked at that I remember
when he said "you know what else you can buy at Walmart?" I was fully expecting him to bring up the fact that you can buy guns at Walmart in America. Like yea, lemme go pick up my groceries, and also a rifle while I'm at it.
I can't wait for the next ever after high video I love that series and I love watching you love that series Also if there's ever a littlest pet shop song reaction video I would die just putting that out there lol
See, I'm the type of person who would remember EVERYONE if I worked in a job like this. And I would be like the person who went in just to have someone to talk to...but i'd be on the side...
Some targets in america actually have Starbucks inside the same buildings. for us it's not weird to have a fast food restaurant at a basic needs store. I remember one target had both Starbucks and a mcdonalds all in the same building, that was one that caught me off guard that there were 2 fast foods instead of 1. america for sure is wild.
of course i know its not common everywhere, but just hearing someone talk about how unusual it is for american shopping centers to have fast food restaurants in them just really makes you think....
Bro the Campbell tomato soup was iconic. I remember in year 4 or something we had a whole entire unit of art where we learnt about the context around it and the painter and we had to paint stuff inspired by the way the painter painted that soup. It was apparently revolutionary. @9:27
Also, what’s up with Australian prime ministers, I swear there was another story where an there was someone in Australia who drowned and then the prime minister opened a POOL in their name (or maybe it was the prime minister who died I’m not sure @14:37
Random story from my friend: My friend was applying for a job at sonic and it was his first job. When at the interview the manager asked what his favorite anime is. My friend was kinda confused and it turns out the manager was subscribed to his old channel on youtube that has 125 subscribers. He made animations but he hasn’t been active in years. Anyways he got the job and was the most hard working employee to the point where when he tried to quit they offered to fire this one person if it meant he would stay
I realized that James was saying that he hated when people didn’t say what kind of Bread they wanted and just said what kind of vegetables, and then he did the same thing in ep. 4 😂
On the topic of a robbery: You're actually supposed to do exactly as the robber tells you to do and act as non threatening as possible. They say to give them all the cash in the register? Sir, yes sir. They tell you to give them all the cash in the safe? Ok, I can't do that myself because I'm not a manager and I don't know how to open it but let me get the manager and she'll open it for you. Here you go. Would you like a drink to go with that? Take note of as many details as possible. Then as soon as they walk out the door you call the police. If you refuse to fork over the cash, they can fire you because you'll be considered a liability. The reason for this? If the robber shoots you the company has to pay for the hospital bill. Also, I think if you know the protocol and don't follow it and you get shot, the company isn't liable bc you didn't follow their rules.
14:47 Wow… I did the exact same thing when I was 4 years old in my mother‘s kitchen, I bit an onion as if it was an apple (with the skin on as well) :) (it wasn’t on TV though)
Hey there, I just came (to watch obviously) but also wanted to recommend some hazbin hotel songs made by SIWEL the songs are called welcome to hell, don't take sh*t from other demons, and hallos in hell
Omg you worked for wengie!?!? I watched her videos so long ago I think it was like around 2015- 2016, I can’t remember where I found her, why I found her or what i specifically liked, I just remember the eye burning bright colors
this is like what I had to put up with at the former location of a gallery I worked at, the number of magnets in a two pack is on the label. it happened many times with the same guy, it was annoying. I often think about how absurd it was, even now, it bugs me, because it was during my lunch break.
You tip at every restaurant. Fast food or otherwise. And at bars and stuff, I think. Because workers who work in fast food or food service business handle your food, it’s common to thank them by giving them a 15%-20% tip. The amount of the tip is based on the price of your meal, so you would pay the waiter 15/20% of what your food cost. Because it’s hard to work in retail and food jobs (because of crappy costumers), good people here in the US usually give waiters good tips as an extra thank you for your service. Plus there’s the added horror show that people who work in food get paid minimum wage (12-13 USD) which is barely enough for one of their own restaurants meals. Basically, tipping culture is an act of kindness and respect towards people who handle the things you eat because they can (and will) spit in your food if you treat them like crap or less than human, which they DO NOT deserve. If you’re crappy AND don’t leave a tip, next time you co there… prepare for really soggy French fries (some places just don’t have good French fries tho so idk)
Man, in what state is minimum wage $13-14, cuz I'd like to go there. Here it's a little over $7. The first job I got paid $14 and I felt like I was sitting in the lap of luxury and my current job now is $15 and that also feels like a steal. Most fast food places I see usually only pay up to $11, if that. Y'all got a nice minimum wage, wish we had that too (altho I wish all minimum wages in America were higher in general)
15:26 when I was still working at my first job, I had a customer once that I just could not figure out what the heck they were trying to ask me, so I had to go get a coworker from the back and have her help them instead
Having everyone have their own code is a safety thing, if somebody was to break in and use someone’s specific code then they know who to question first, my cafe i work at has the same thing, every manager has a different code for the alarm
This vid is kinda old but for whoever who sees this. Campbell's tomato soup is used in a famius art series which is everywhere in Australia. So the fact that the bar had one of those, assuming its an original, probs costed a lot.
I didn’t know that there were supermarkets where you couldn’t buy alcohol. As a Britt this seems so weird. I know an Asda with a McDonald’s and it used to have a Claire’s I think
No, we wouldn't code each alarm for each person based on social security. Social security is used as an identifier as it is unique to each person so even if they have a name change or the same names as someone else, you can never confuse them accidentally with that person so your history is always with you. It is also important because each person pays into social security and when you reach a certain age, you will be able to withdraw money and retire,
On the topic of the rare but exciting moment when somebody gives a fast food worker a huge tip: I have two tip stories. For the first one: picture this. Late at night, only the drive through is open, not many customers but enough to keep us cashiers busy (IDK about the cooks and managers). Only two cashiers, I think one or two managers, somebody is on a late break. Somebody comes up and I don't remember what she ordered but it wasn't an enormous order. The only things I remember about her: she had blond hair and there was somebody else in the car with her. Anyways, she asks me how many people were behind the counter. I took a count and it was six. She gave me seven crisp twenty dollar bills and told me everybody gets a twenty and the seventh one was for in case I missed someone and if not to split it between everybody. (I did forget somebody, but in my defense she was standing in the little nook behind the drink fountain.) I went and got my manager, who said exactly what I was thinking, to the effect of: 'Are you sure? Normally we'd never say no to a tip but this is $140 and I just want to make sure you realize how much this is." She was sure and we all went home twenty dollars richer than we expected. The second one was a guy who asked for two milkshakes of every flavor combined. I was kinda confused, so I clarified and he said he wants every flavor we have combined into two milkshakes. He asked if we could do that bc some of the places he went to had all of the flavors pre mixed and that yes, he was sure, it was delicious at the other places. I'm sorry, what? You've done this before? I told him it would take longer than normal bc if I gave him the usual amount of each flavoring with the usual amount of shake it would be really strong so I took one squirt of each flavoring except oreo, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, mixed them together, poured half of it into another cup, dumped half the usual amount of oreo crumbs in each, and added the other ingredients. This was still twice the usual amount of syrup/crumbs, but I'm terrible at estimating so I had to stick with this bc the alternative was four times as much. Anyways, they came out looking like chocolate oreo milkshakes. I set them on the counter with the spoons rather than bringing them to him bc we were busy. I came back a minute later to find both milkshakes gone as well as the guy that ordered them and in their place was a $20 bill. I can only assume that they came from him. It's been a while and I don't remember if anybody else was inside, so I suppose it could have been somebody else, but this guy was so weird I figured it must be him. And when I say he was weird, that's not a bad thing. The job got so boring that anything weird was welcome and a fun thing to talk about.
Tuna Salat is very good. Not with pickles or olives, but just with like lettuce, tomato, corn and maybe paprika and some red beans. And french or joghurt dressing. Oh and some cheese of course
I currently work at a fast food place whose name I probably shouldn't mention but is known for making fried chicken and it's name is an acronym of a state followed by one of the restaurants staple foods. (This particular location is also a joint restaurant with another restaurant that, for some reason, seems to have a staple drink of root beer.) The first few weeks I worked there, I noticed that the wall thing underneath the front counter was disgusting. It looked like nobody had cleaned it in years. I needed to ask the manager for an extra strong cleaner bc the regular stuff wasn't cutting it. There was this brownish yellow gunk caked onto the walls. I'm surprised I didn't get sick from breathing in all the germs I'd unearthed. Also, side note: those hats with the bills in front are ridiculously impractical. I kept bumping it on the walls and any time I try to look up at the tv to see an order I have to tilt my head back excessively. If somebody of any importance within the company sees this, please, I'm begging you, change the dress code and remove the hat or at least make it optional. Anyways, I also cleaned the condiment containers, which hadn't been cleaned in years and I had to use a scraper and literally peeled off a layer of gunk probably a millimeter thick (which is surprisingly thick in the context of gunk.) I also cleaned the blender thingie, and nobody even knew that the metal thing was removable. It's literally held in place by two screws. It was protocol to remove and clean that thing daily at the first restaurant I worked at, and this one was literally identical, as far as I could tell. Probably the same model. I tried to remove the blender thingie inside, but I couldn't find the right tools. That thing needed cleaning more than anything else I've cleaned so far. The only thing I refuse to clean unless I absolutely have to is the boys bathroom. The smell in there is so gross, and I figure since I don't use that bathroom and it wasn't my half of the human race that made it stink, it's not my business unless I'm told to do something about it. The bathroom itself isn't even that bad, but the smell is *shudders* terrible. And I have a terrible sense of smell, so that's when you know it's bad. I think it's probably got to do with the plumbing.
OKAYY SO IM LIKE 33:56 MINUTES IN THE VID RN AND I WAS STUNNED I TELL YOU STUNNED WHEN I HEARED THE NAME “ Wengie” AS THE “ RU-vidr” FOR HIM WORKING FOR , LIKE I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE A RANDOM RU-vidR I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BUT THEN I HEAR THE NAME OF THE RU-vidR I LITERALLY LOVED ESPECIALLY IN QUARANTINE 2020. So now I’m like really interested of what work did Mathew do for wengie? Like an editer? I’m like so confusing and stunned lol but ye sry for the long paragraph of me refusing to believe that I heard that correctly, cuz I literally put on cations and went scrolling in the comments to see if anyone else noticed that but no. No one. Anyways thx for reading this all bye xx ^_^
"Can you imagine a target just has a fuckin subway?" Hahahahahahaha my local Walmart has a subway in it, the library downtown has a little cafe in it, and the fred meyers where I get my perscription has a Starbucks. The starbucks one isn't even, like, tucked away in a little nook of the wall like a lot of restaurants are when they are inside of stores. There's just a setup right next to the cashiers. You can walk between the wall and the starbucks setup. It's like it's own little section of the store. Yeah, you got your freezer aisle, the bakery, the deli section, fresh fruit, the checkout center, the Starbucks area, the canned food.
