Random Interesting Secrets Shared By Employees Ready To Reveal Truth About Their Industry (22 items)
(#17) Librarian - Donations
From Redditor u/ZeD00m:
Library Worker here: the majority of donations we recieve do not end up in circulation (on our shelves) no matter how much you demand we put them there once they're donated. The reason why this is, is because we only add items to the collection that we think will circulate (be checked out). Most libraries get funding based off of statistics. We don't want to waste shelf-space on items that people aren't checking out, as it won't improve our stats. So, unless the donated items are brand new, or by popular authors we will not add them to the collection. We will also weed unpopular items from our collection with extreme prejudice for this reason, much to our patron's horror. These books usually end up being sold at book sales to help generate funding for other library programs.
(#16) Retail Worker - Why We Push Credit Cards On Customers
From Redditor u/That_One_Girrrl:
I know a lot of people get annoyed when a store employee pushes the credit card, but at the kids clothing store I worked at, if you didn’t get at least x amount per day they cut our hours. I wasn’t pushing you a sh*tty credit card to be an a**hole, I was scared to lose my hours. If you’re in the same position or have been, I’m sorry you dealt with this too. It’s honestly sh*tty and our minimum wage job should not depend on peddling your wonky store credit card/loyalty program.
(#15) Musician - How They Make Money
From Redditor u/loocaswoodland:
I’m a musician. It’s not really a secret but 90% of of our revenue is from merch. Spotify plays, show guarantees, etc, everything is menial in comparison to shirt sales. In fact, a big reason bands tour as often as possible is because we can sell more shirts when we’re in front of people.
(#13) Pizza Shop Secret
From Redditor u/TannedCroissant:
If you order a pizza but like to choose your own toppings, it’s often cheaper to choose an existing pizza like a Meat Supreme or something with loads of toppings, then swap out all the toppings for ones you want, than to go for the Create Your Own option in the menu.
Note, this is much less awkward if you order online than on the phone.
(#6) Librarians Advice On Fines
From Redditor u/itsmeEloise:
A lot of librarians will waive your fines if you have an excuse and you don’t ask too frequently, even large fines. Also, librarians DON’T CARE about your fines and aren’t judging you. Please come back. We personally have more fines than you. Librarians are ALWAYS overdue with their books.
(#22) Grocery Store - Wash Your Vegetables
From Redditor u/mmmmpisghetti:
The fruits and veggies you buy at the grocery store... wash them.
