Current job at a Nuclear Power plant: Zombies are real.

Last job as a cop: Make up shit and sound like you know what you're talking about and people will do whatever you say. Not in a bad way. If I go to a person's house and the guy is in a big fight with his girlfriend or something, I want him (or her) to leave before it turns into something. I can't make the guy leave or arrest him because he really hasn't broken a law so I'd just make up some shit.

Oh, and sometimes, I didn't know what I was talking about. Have you SEEN the size of a Georgia law book? That thing is six inches thick! I had to go to a dispute where a guy died and his live in girlfriend was still living in his house with no place to go. The guy's family wanted her off of the property because they hated her. I didn't have any idea who was right but I had to pretend I had all of the answers. I made up a law called "Domicile" right there on the spot saying that since the GF was already living there, she had the right to stay and that the family was actually trespassing. If they didn't leave, I'd arrest all of them.

I'm creative like that.

I always wondered how that worked, because you have to figure that outside of cases they've dealt with before, there's no way police can actually know all state/federal law on the spot, just because that'd be the sort of thing you'd need a six year degree for in any one state. Neat.

For my part, i think my boss (at my under-the-table Italian Ice job) is bribing someone, because he somehow manages to get a health inspection license cleared even though his facilities are just a shack on the property of his father's parts-rental store, and he doesn't have access to a clean bathroom at all times, which is a requirement for eating establishments in this state (there's a gas station right across the street, but still).

For KFC: You can make awesome elephant ears/fried dough in those fryers, if your shift supervisor is cool enough to let you use leftover wrap tortillas at the end of shift

For Inventory (RGIS Inventory company): Everyone cheats on counting items in stock; everyone.

Cosmetics aren't really put on lab animals in order to test them for human consumption, but because lab animals like to look fabulous, too.

From my job as a shoe salesman: Those socks and shoe cleaners that are on sale at half price--they're half priced every single day. They mark the price as double so they can give the illusion of a value. Yeah, suckers.
