Why would you doubt TJ's giving you a clean spoon or not? Do you do this everytime someone hands you cutlery?

I'd be interested in hearing how that works. That is say I want to try some of the peanut butter. So the employee opens a can and hopefully they use a clean spoon to give me a taste, and if I don't like it or don't want it, then what happens with the used can of peanut butter? Is that sold to a new customer at full…

Going to have to throw a flag on the wine part. Sate laws vary heavily on giving away wine for free (even as a sample), which is why you frequently see places like Wine and More charge a dime to enter the tasting area. While workers at stores and restaurants would be happy to give a free sample in the hopes of helping…

Do not buy Kraft singles or any other individually wrapped American Cheese. Do go to the deli counter and buy it fresh sliced- Land o'Lakes is very good, Black Bear, even Shop Rite brand is better than the "singles." Try a few, find one you like, and never look back. I like White American better than yellow, but I…

I go even cheaper than your grandparents and hoard condiment packages from fast food places. Often times, it's a brand name condiment, it's free, and you don't have any issue with dried, crusty condiment around the dispenser. They don't need to be refrigerated, either.

HDMI is notable because those are digital signal cables, not analog. You literally cannot change the quality by changing the cable, unless a connection breaks.

The best is making your own. A cup of sugar, and 1-2 tablespoons of a good molasses. That's it.

One more tip: don't use fabric softener on your towels. They will be much more absorbent without.

Disagree. Audio cables, in general, do not have much of a difference, except for durability. The only problem that you will have with cheap 1/8" cables will be loose connections. Otherwise, it's entirely psychological. There's an entire audiophile component industry built around selling that bullshit.

That's why I like places with a little waste bin by the door, so I can use the damp paper towel to open the door and then toss it, never having touched the door.

I worked for years as an IT consultant and felt it was important to keep my personal life firewalled from my professional existence but the family kept insisting I have a facebook account. I chose the name of a 50's TV character and have been using it for years without complaint. The sad part to me is FB figured out…

Yes, you are a dick.

Yeah, it's all fine and dandy unless you're the associate at the aforementioned stores dealing with that one customer who insists on 'negotiating' every aspect of the sale. These stores aren't swap shops.

Look for items incorrectly stocked. Now this one may be a little unethical but I had several customers pull it on me when I worked in the paint department. I once had a guy approach me and say, "Hey, this paint brush over here says it is only $3.99 and that's the price I want." I walk over and sure enough a $25 Purdy…

I worked at a Lowe's for six years, and a lot of that advice was incorrect. We'd never negotiate free add-ons, because then that fucks our inventory count (and the margins were usually higher on smaller items). We'd negotiate down the price of the big thing to pay for the little thing, so it was like it was a free…

Sure, it sounds simple in theory. Now try that scenario during the holiday season. There are 50 people behind you in line, my manager's busy, and you want 20% off a $10 purchase. "I'm sorry, I can't do that." "Can I speak with your manager?" Now our transaction that should have taken 1 minute takes 15 minutes, &…

As if minimum wage retail workers didn't already have enough shit to deal with. Now we can add customer haggling to the list.

When I worked at a grocery store customers were always asking for discounts on dented or damaged items, but we always had to refuse. Our wholesaler would buy back damaged products for 100% of what we paid. I always wondered where they picked this habit up.
