71 Shocking Industry Secrets Insiders Are Desperate to Keep Hidden from You

I have spent about two decades in the auto insurance industry. The number of people who still think that their injury claim is worth three times. Their medical bill is insane.

Imagine that you broke a rib. That is so painful. But there is practically no treatment for it.

Now imagine that someone else got into a minor accident but because they’re pregnant, they went to the ER and saw their OB. Baby is fine, no injury.
Who should get more money? Or should it be based on their bills? 🙃

Some hospitals have a pharmacy with a retail store front. If at all possible, get your over-the-counter medicine from thier retail pharmacy instead of Walmart or wherever. They usually charge at cost for it because they make all their money from in-patient prescriptions and procedures. You can also see if your prescriptions are available at the hospital with discount. My script prices were cut in half going from Walmart to the hospital pharmacy, and Walmart was supposedly reported to be cheaper.

10+ years in aquatics (waterparks, resorts, health clubs)…. unless it’s in your own backyard where you fully control the chemistry of the water and cleanliness of the occupants, think long and hard before getting into a hot tub

Hotel housekeeper here:
Guys please, LOCK THE DOOR!!!! Staff are taught to knock once, if you hear nothing, walk in. It can saves an embarrassing encounter for us all (hint hint)
Also if you don’t want any disturbance use the Do Not Disturb sign. It will prevent your door being knocked on until you answer.
Please say what you want (in regards to service) slowly & clearly. Don’t try & blag housekeeping. We see all, we hear all. We all tell each other if there’s a nightmare guests.

Professional car buying expert – Dealers can legally “lie” about the loan interest rate you are approved for. It’s called “dealer reserve” and it works like this…

Dealers says “Oh the best we can do is 10% APR” but they really have you approved at 8% APR, you agree to the 10% and the dealer pockets the difference.

This tactic is especially used on folks with credit scores under 700 FICO. And this is why you should get loan pre approvals from your credit union or bank before you go car shopping.

When you tell the dealer “I’m already pre approved for X” They have incentive to beat it because they still make a few bucks from getting you the loan even though you still got a competitive APR.

Another I just thought of; you can (and should) stop a massage you’re uncomfortable in, at any time.

If you’ve repeatedly asked for more or less pressure & they keep not delivering?
🛑 it & get a refund.

If they’re unloading their whole sh**ty day on you, ask them to be quiet & if they start up again?
🛑 it & get a refund.

You feel like they’re being creepy?
🛑 it & get a refund.

You’re paying for a service & it should be exactly what you want it to be. If it’s not?
🛑 it & get a refund.

If you’re going to give a speech, please realize that the spoken word and the written word are two different things.
People don’t speak in outlines and sub bullets.
NEVER say, “And this slide…”
You’ve just averted attention away from you and to the slide!
A slide should never have more than FIVE words.
Slides are to support what you are saying, not say it for you.
If you’re going to read the slide to the audience, just stay home and email your PPT deck to everyone.

99% of all store brand dried goods come from the same factory. If you think Kroger or Publix has the best store brand cereal, it’s the exact same product in the boxes at HEB, Harris Teeter, and everywhere else (I used to proofread the nutrition labels for the manufacturer).

All Forbes 200 companies have Corporate Airplanes. Executives never go through TSA lines. They get catered meals every flight. Per contact they can use airplane for personal use. Any time of year. To any where they want.
