你的行业里有什么消费者不知道的肮脏的小秘密？



IT here. We usually already know the answer to the question we pose, so don't lie.
Me: "Ma'am, when was the last time you restarted your computer?"
Her: "5 Minutes ago!"
systeminfo | find /i "Boot Time"
    'shows hasn't been rebooted for days'
Me: "please restart it again then"

IT行业。很多时候，我们事先就知道自己在问得问题的答案，所以，别对我们撒谎。
我：“女士，您上一次重启是什么时候？”
她：“5分钟以前！”
[查询系统启动时间的代码]
‘显示结果电脑已经几天没重启了’
我：“请您再重启一下”

It sounds like you turned your monitor on, I need you to turn the PC on too, it's the main box.
OK, I've done that now. Now the light's gone off.
The light was on the PC?
Yes.
Oh, it was running then, hit the button again.
It says no signal detected.
Oh, it sounds like you just turned your monitor off and on, the screen, that's not the PC.
No, I did the Philips.
Yes, that's the screen, not the PC, I need the PC, which everything is plugged into to be started
OK, I've done that now.
OK and what's it saying?
The same as before, "No Signal Detected"
No, I think that was your screen again.
Yes, it was my big Philips box
That's your screen, I don't want that to be restarted
Now it's saying it's in sleep mode
Yes, that's because your PC isn't on
But I just turned it on
No, you turned your screen on. Just ignore the screen entirely, leave it alone for now. I need you to find the box that everything plugs into
What does that look like?
Umm, about the size of a shoe box, it'll have your CD drive in it

您似乎只开了显示器，您需要把电脑也同样打开，就是那个大箱子
OK，我已经开了，现在灯灭了
您是说电脑上的灯吗？
是的
哦，之前是开的，那请您再按一下
它显示说无信号输入
哦，似乎您还是在开关显示器，屏幕和电脑是不一样的
没，我就是开的菲利普的
对，那个就是显示器，不是电脑，您需要打开电脑，连着所有插头的那个
OK，现在开了
好的，有任何提示吗
还是和之前一样，“无信号输入”
不是，我觉得那还是您的显示器
对，就是我的菲利普机箱
那是您的屏幕，您不需要重启屏幕
〈打断〉现在显示说他处于睡眠模式
是的，这是因为您的电脑没有开，打开就好了
不是，您开的是显示器，请彻底无视整个屏幕，让它自己好好呆着吧。我需要您找到机箱，所有的线汇集的箱子
机箱什么样？
〈垂死挣扎了一下〉额，鞋盒那么大，有个插cd的地方

Used to work at Applebee's, and during dinners we would get slammed. So in prep for this we would cook a grill full of chicken before hand, then keep it in a metal container with a little water to stop it from drying out. Then when an order came, we just take out a piece, dry it on the grill, then send it out. Sometimes the chicken would be 5 hours old.

之前在Applebee工作，在晚餐时我们会很忙。所以做准备工作的时候，我们会事先烤好一箱鸡肉，然后把它放在一个带有少量水的金属容器中，以防止它变干。然后当一个订单来了，我们就取出一块，在烤架上烤干，然后送出去。有时鸡肉会放5个小时以上。

When I worked at McDonald's 15 years ago we had to throw out unused beef patties/chicken every 20-30 minutes...

十五年前我在麦当劳工作的时候，我们规定每20-30分钟，就要把没用掉的鸡肉牛肉扔掉

IT.
We know.
Remember that time you went to that dodgy porn site, got your laptop riddled with viruses, then claimed it 'just started acting funny' and the IT guy believed you? No, he didn't. He also knows exactly what site you went to.
We also know that you know exactly how those games got on your work laptop. We know your computer didn't randomly lock you out, you put your password in wrong three times.
Yes, you did open that attachment from an unknown source. Your files didn't vanish, you deleted them. You dropped your laptop. You let your kid play on it at home and we can see your entire browsing history even if you delete the local cache.
IT。

我们其实都知道。
记得你上次上小黄网，结果笔记本感染了病毒，然后声称“我什么都不知道，它自己开始乱显示东西”然后IT小哥就真的信了的事吗？
不，他信了才怪，他甚至连你去的是哪个网站都知道。
我们也确切地知道你的工作笔记本上是怎么冒出一堆游戏的。我们还知道你的电脑没有“随机”锁定，你自己把密码输错了三次。
是的，你打开了未知附件，但文件并没有消失，是你删除了它们。你“弄丢”了笔记本电脑，给你的孩子拿回家去玩。我们可以看到你的全部浏览历史，即使你删了缓存也没用

小提示：好好跟IT部门处关系（尤其是他们有群组权限的情况下）

The off brands are all made with the same ingredients, by the same company. We just change labels every couple of hours.

未注册的品牌都是使用相同的成分，由同一家公司生产的。我们只需要几个小时更换一次标签。（译：淘宝的大多数品牌旗舰店就是这样）

I worked for a bottling company mouth wash and other bathroom things. The difference from value brand and scope is the label. Most of the time the bottle is even the same. The batch does not change and they are owned by the same company.

我曾为一家洗漱用品的瓶装公司工作。名牌和杂牌的唯一区别是标签。大多数时候瓶子甚至都是一样的。批次不变，而且两个牌子属于同一家公司。

Used to work at Best Buy. If there were only a limited amount items available for a special deal going, the staff would usually hide them in the back for themselves and buy them at the end of their shift. This was big on Black Friday too. You could just lie to the customer and say someone online must have made an order to pick it up from the store.

在Best Buy工作，有时候搞促销，商品供应量有限的情况下，店员会自己扣下一批，然后在下班时买走。这在黑色星期五（译：国外版双十一）很常见。你可以骗顾客说有人在线上买了，要来店里取。

This is 100% against policy, but people do it anyway. Corporate wouldn't like it but in-store staff (Even managers) are all probably taking part, so nobody ever gets in trouble.

这做法100%违反规定了，但人们还是照做不误。企业可能很反感，但一线销售人员（甚至经理）都这么干，法不责众，也没办法

You can buy stamps from your mail box, just leave money and a note in the box and a mail carrier will leave you stamps.

你可以在邮箱里买邮票买，只要在邮箱里放点钱，然后写个纸条，邮递员会把邮票给你的。

Duvet covers in your hotel room are generally only washed once a month. And I'm not talking motel 6, I'm talking about full service Marriotts with $400 a night rooms.
Edit: literally a dirty secret.

酒店房间的羽绒被一般只能每月洗一次。我不是在说motel6，我在说400美元一晚，有全套服务的Marriotts。
字面意义上的一个肮脏的小秘密。

Retail. It's not out the back. We already know it's not out the back. But since you asked we'll "look", but just walk out the back and have a drink of water, or that pee we've been holding in, or check our phone. You'll thank us for trying, but we didn't really do anything

零售业。
仓库里也没有了，我们知道仓库里没有，但既然你问了，我们就去“看看”，其实只是走到后面喝杯水，尿个尿，玩下手机，然后你还得谢谢我们，即是我们什么也没干。

When you bring in your broken electronics, all we do is Google how to fix it, then we fix it and charge for it, but you could totally just get the tools and do it yourself, unless you really don't want to break warranty stickers.

当你拿来坏了的电子产品，我们所做的就是上百度，搜下该怎么修，然后照着试。你其实完全可以拿工具自己干，除非你不想破坏保修贴纸

Reporters don't write headlines.

记者从不写标题

That's true. I worked in print media in my first career. A paginator / copy editor makes everything fit on the page, and that includes writing headlines and captions for photos to fit. Evert wonder why the photo caption is so often a word for word repeat of the second or third paragraph of the article? It was a copy-paste job by someone working to a deadline whi didn't know more about the photo than the article already says, and doesn't want to reword something for the sake of not repeating the copy. That's why.
Columnists often get to write their own headlines, and reporters can give input --I once had a reporter beg me to use the famous 'Headless body found at topless bar' headline, but it didn't fit and did not conform to the publication's editorial standards. Still, most don't bother.

确实如此。我第一份职业是在印刷媒体工作。排版编辑（译：不确定翻译对了没）给所有内容排版，包括为照片编写标题和说明文字，以求最好的显示效果。为什么图片说明经常和文章的第二或第三段重复？因为他们既不像记者那样了解图片含义，也不想重写一些文章里已经交代的东西，所以就单纯复制粘贴。这就是原因。
专栏作家经常自己写标题，记者可以给意见 - 我曾经有一位记者乞求我使用“脱衣酒吧发现无头尸体”为标题，但它排版并不合适，而且不符合出版物的编辑要求。不过，大多数记者不会提这种要求。

If you're rude to the ER nurses, and your problem is clearly minor and REALLY don't need to be in hospital, we will make you wait longer to see a Dr. Good manners go a long way.

如果你对急诊护士不礼貌，并且你的问题还不够严重，还没到来医院的地步，我们会让你等很长时间才见到医生。礼貌能让你节省时间。

We will never play your request on the radio, its pre-programmed, stop fucking calling. (unless you're calling college stations, they might. But we wont.)

电台才不会满足你的点播要求，节目都是事先编排好的，所以别tm打电话了（校园电台除外）
