1. Mistakes cost us, so get the order right. If Stacy gets backed up on
french fries, give her a hand. If you see mayonnaise that’s gone hard, throw
it out. Don’t use it. Don’t forget to wash your hands after you empty the
trash. If you see puke or diapers on the floor, get the mop and bucket. Wash
your hands after.
2. Keep hammering. Yeah, I know it’s like an oven up here already, but we’ve
got another job this afternoon, so let’s move, move, move! One more thing.
You fall to the ground, I don’t care if you fall thirty feet or a hundred
and thirty feet, you get right back up here and start hammering. And no
screwing around down there and taking a drink of water.
3. I don’t turn off or slow down the stuffer for nobody. I got a quota to
meet, and I’m meeting it. One time a woman got her hair caught in the belt,
and that’s the only time I turned it off. Just long enough for her to cut
her hair free, then right back up to max. For all I know we mailed her hair
to a taxpayer. You get your necktie stuck in there, you keep loading forms
in the feeder until you choke, got me?
4. Do a strip exam when they come in. Make a note of any bruises or
injuries, so no one can come back later and say we caused them. Put all
their belongings in a 30-gallon trash bag and store it in the basement. Tell
them anything they don’t store in the basement will be stolen, and we aren’t
responsible. If they don’t have a change of clothes, issue them some clean
socks and underwear if we have any, and write them a pass for the laundry to
check our clothing donations. Assign them to a bed. Issue them one towel and
one bar of soap and one razor and one tube of deodorant. Tell them they have
to shower once a day. Show them where the mess room is. If they start acting
funny or attack you, let the nurse know, and she’ll give them a shot that’ll
knock them right out.
5. Stay in flow with the line. You don’t want to fall in the hole. You fall
in the hole, you call out for help that second. We have to complete a unit
every seven minutes. At the end of the line, none of the parts should fall
off. If they do, we know who didn’t put them on right. Don’t let it be you.
6. I want to be able to see the toe tag plainly. Rip a hole in the bag to
expose the tag. Go on, we haven’t got all day. What does this tag say? I can’t
read your writing. Use a fat marker from now on. Make sure the drawer is
closed tight. You don’t want it to slide open and create a hazard for
walking. Want to trip over a stiff?
7. Mistakes cost us, so get the order right. If Stacy gets backed up on
french fries, give her a hand. If you see mayonnaise that’s gone hard, throw
it out. Don’t use it. Don’t forget to wash your hands after you empty the

your hands after. And welcome back.
