It’s true. Every business has its secrets. They are locked up in
dark, lonely rooms with really tiny keys. If you knew all of them,
you’d probably put every industrial giant out of business. But we can’t
have that, can we? Professionals reveal secrets about their companies on
the
Reddit Community, here are the best 15:
1. Never Hang Up on a Telemarketer
The reason we picked this one is because telemarketing calls are
probably the most annoying thing to happen to your phone lines. So, the
next time a telemarketer calls you, never hang up your phone. You do
that, and the telemarketer just puts you on their “no answer” list and
calls you again after some time. Instead, just ask them to put you on
their do not call list. They will never call you again!
2. Gift Cards Do Not Expire in California
If you are a resident of California, you are in luck! According to
California State Law, a gift card with a monetary value cannot legally
expire. So if you have got a $100 Amazon gift card and it’s past expiry
date, just call them and tell them you are from California. They will
issue a replacement!
3. Cancelling Hotel Reservations in Penalty Period if Still Free
Imagine you want to cancel a hotel reservation, but you’re stuck
within a penalty period. What to do? Just go online or make a phone
call, and move up your reservation by a few days to get you out of
penalty. Then just call up the hotel or log on to their website, then
cancel the reservation next day!
4. If Ever Arrested, Never Tell The Cops Nothing
In the United States of America, as in most civilized countries, an
arrested person has the “right to remain silent”. That is, if you so
choose, you don’t need to answer any questions asked by your arresting
officer, or any cops for that matter. Take a lawyer’s friendly advice:
No matter how nice or nasty they get, never talk to the cops until your
lawyer arrives. It will probably piss them off, but you still stay on
the safe side.
5. Never Use The Quantity They Show in Commercials
Did you know that most TV commercials, especially soap or shampoo,
show the consumer using way, way more of their product than is actually
required? They do this to psychologically program you into using more of
the product, so that it finishes faster and earns them more.
6. Never Say the Word “Wedding” at a Florist’s
When you are at a florist’s shop, never utter the word “wedding”
before the shopkeeper. Just tell them that you are planning for an
event. If you tell them that the flowers are for a wedding, they
automatically skyrocket the prices to way higher.
7. The Technology Used Gillette Razors is Good Ol’ False Promising
We think everybody already knows this, but still. Plain ol’ safety
razors and straight razors give you an easy and perfect shave. For $20,
these razors will last you for years. Instead, people still go for the
expensive disposable razors that are said to use “special shaving
technology”. That’s just crap talk.
8. Inflating Tires At gas Stations Don’t Cost a Dime!
If you are at a gas station, needing to inflate a flat tire, the
station workers have to turn on the air just so long as you ask. There
is no need to put quarters into the machine! That’s just another stupid
money-making scheme.
9. A Few Turns With a Wrench Can Fix Your Disposal
If your garbage disposal unit is acting funny, there is no need to
call a plumber already. Just a few turns there with an Allen wrench from
underneath the disposal, and it manually fixes all jams!
10. Laundry Detergents Purposely make Directions Difficult to Read
Laundry detergents are known to intentionally make the directions
difficult to read. There are about 5 levels marked by a really tiny
ring. This they do so that people ignore the instructions, fill up the
whole container and use a lot more than necessary.See more here http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/2015/08/professionals-reveal-secrets.html
