The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

An amusing little fact about video storesThe computer systems on atleast some video stores, like the one I work at, have a section for reminders on the account of ever customer. This section is just a blank sheet for you to fill in how you see fit, presumably with relevant information about the customer such as whether or not they are a seniors card holder etc.
However as you may well guess this is quickly filled with whatever humorous observations or dire warnings or opinions about these customers the staff may form. Makes for hilarious reading and quite a challenge to read them whilst looking at the person and not laughing.
So be warned, if you are an obnoxious shit it will be noted down, if we are bored and think you resemble a certain cartoon character it will be noted down. If you're attractive it will be mentioned and if you are very very attractive there will be a continual commentary for each occassion a different staff member serves you, leading to comments of agreement and disagreement with that observation. And if you're not the easiest on the eyes you will quite likely have some very cruel comments written about you.
It's a nice little passive-aggressive way of passing the time in a pretty tedious job, not really a particularly dirty secret but a funny one none the less.
