This type of post is starting to get a bit annoying. It's misinformation, and nonsense for the most part. Is the next post going to be about dihydrogen oxide?
Horrifying Products: Rust
You might see it listed as “ferrous oxide,” but it’s basically rust. If you ever see a cosmetics bottle that lists “pigment brown 6” or “pigment red 101” as ingredients, it’s in there, too. This is what gives cosmetics, such as calamine lotion, its pink coloring. --buzzfeed.com
In Canada there is actually legislation called the Scanning Code of Practice that does require retailers to give an item below $10.00 free if the wrong price rings up and if the item is over $10.00, then they get $10.00 off. The barcode must be the same so if the wrong sign was over the wrong item, the store has no responsibility to honour it.
Scams And Scammers: "It's The Law!"

From: aussiedoglady A customer pulls up in the carpark in her big Toorak Tractor, ignores my greeting and starts messing around with the dog beds. Whatever. Fifteen minutes later she stomps around the corner, "I need a hand with the big beds." I wander around to see she's thrown a couple on t...
It drives me crazy when people rush to get a shift covered when they knew prior to a schedule being posted that they had plans. Newsflash, this is what booking off is for. I will pick up an extra shift, switch shifts, etc as it suits me but when I say no, I mean it and I will NEVER cover for someone again if they guilt trip me or pester me after I've said no.
But then, I'm a bitch like that.
Scheduling Nightmares: Parents With Children Should Not Get First Pick Of All Of The Hours
From: Phenglei Kai What always bothered me was when the employees themselves acted like having children meant that they were automatically entitled to the most favorable schedules. I've seen this sort of thing happen a number of times: An employee (who has children) would ask a co-worker (wit...
