Spinoff:Where Have You Worked That You Still Patron
 

If you've ever worked in a restaurant/fast food, do you still eat there??

If you've worked retail, do you still shop in that store??

Etc....


I've worked at Taco Bell, and I still eat there. We had a clean-freak manager that refused to get anything less then 100% on our Health Inspections.

I worked at Waffle House as an in-between jobs kind of thing (scariest month of my life!!). I doubt I'll ever eat there again.

I worked at Wal-Mart in High School. I still shop there when I need general stuff, like paper-towels or shampoo.

i worked at a small indy pizza place called Pisanello's in bowling green ohio - i definetely still eat there when i'm in the area!

other than that, i worked at a rafferty's and i do not eat there anymore - but simply because its a meat heavy menu and i am a vegetarian

Subway, although not too often, as I want to jump over the counter and make it myself since no one can ever do it right once you do your own.

I don't go to the same ones I worked in because I don't live in the same area, but I've worked in these stores and would/do still shop there:

Blockbuster
Barnes & Noble
Macy's
Quick Chek
IKEA
FedEx

I've worked a lot in my life, lol.

I worked at the Gap and still shop there. Not having the discount is a little disheartening though ;)

Panera

I'm gona have to try that restaurant when I go down there, if I haven't eaten there already. Bowling Green is the closest place for us to buy Phi Mu stuff in person, so Collegiate Connection used to be the love of my life, and Judy is the sweetest!- /hijack

I worked at an ice cream place called Bob Jo's as my first job... it used to be the only frozen custard place in Southern Michigan. I def still go there, and if you live around here you'd know why!

Then I worked at a salon, and I still went there till I couldn't afford it anymore (employee discounts rock) so now I go to my cousin. I still go to that salon for updos tho cuz they are awesome.

Hooters.

Yes! I worked at Ann Taylor, and it is my favorite store. I have also worked at a number of restaurants and I'm happy to go back to any of them because they were all VERY clean.

And I worked at SeaWorld-- I'll go back there anytime! :)

Target (A much classier alternative to Wal-Mart/K-Mart/Shopko).

It is. But usually classier = pricey-er. My Charmin is still Charmin whether I pay $5.98 or $6.95 for it. I have found some decent deals at Target, but their clearance usually isn't huge markdowns like at WalMart.

I still go to the movie theater I worked at for 4 years. There are only 2 in my hometown, and mine was the better of the 2, so I'd rather go to it, even if their employee standards have gone down considerably! :D

yah i love collegiate connection too! btw - pisanello's is on main street right next to the library and i recommend a "white pizza" or stuffed breadsticks (tomato bread rocks too!)

The local grocery store

True- but then again, I don't usually buy my Charmin at Target! Usually at the grocery store, where it is much cheaper.
I guess I'm ok with paying a slightly higher price for a slightly better looking store, and slightly higher quality of certain goods (I'm thinking sheets, towels, kitchen stuff, some knick knacks, some clothes, though I certainly don't buy all that at Target all the time either.)
