Ok, I'm not that old and I haven't worked a lot of jobs. However, I'm pretty keen when it comes to things that irritate the shit out fo me and the other 50% of the population (that half with the brain) happen notice on a regular basis. There's a certain way to view things that, though you may not know how, let you do things on the job fairly pain free, for you and the rest of the world
Never put your hands in your pockets. This shows you are bored and though you are capable of completeing many a task, you chose not to. This also appears that you are not interested in doing your job. Your stance should always be brisk and at the ready when you are not busy
Keep an eye out for what the people in your work area are doing. If you see Joe wiping down the pots after he finishes a few meals then go ahead and take the initiative and do so even though no one specifically instructed you do it.
This gets its own number because it cannot be stressed enough. ALWAYS take the initiative to do something, even if you are not sure it should be done. It is far less of a problem that you are doing somebody else's job rather than doing no one's job.
Though smiles are not required for every job, never get an attitude with someone else even if you don't like what they're saying. Hell, even if the person is spitting sarcastic remarks unjustified, don't get an attitude. This sort of leads to my next point.
Work places are like court rooms. Its always better to have proof and if your both caught in the act of whatever it is your doing with someone else (usually its not a good thing to be caught doing anything.) Its better to be found being calmly assertive about whatever your argument with your co-worker.
If you are trying to point out another co-workers misplaced ideas of what it is to be an "employee" don't ever point it out in an instructive manner to your boss. The last thing he wants is a shmuck telling him what's going on his shift in his area like he doesn't already know it. If you want to be a knark and get someone fired, do it by placing a question or curiosity. Even if you are reprimanded for wondering what isn't your business, at least you didn't get bitched for being an ass-pirate standing too high on his own pedestals.
Don't ever make a weak excuse. Things the boss here's 46 times a day don't flash well in his mind when he thinks of you again. If you're actually late because of traffic and there's somehow nothing you could have done about it then try and put it to him without a response that rings of "if you give me shit about my reason I'm going to throw a hissy fit and whine about how there's nothing I could have done, though taking twenty minutes to flirt with the gas station attendant could have been delayed till the following day...When I don't work"
Finally, mostly cause I'm tired of writing this, have some respect for yourself. Don't spend 30 minutes crying and moaning about how sorry or upset you were that you didn't bring your full uniform with you to work every time it happens. Its better to lay it down evenly and without trying to make yourself look like a victim. If it bothers him enough to fire you then your better off, 'cause your bullshitting ass shouldn't have tried to get a job at a place that requires 33 different items to wear each day of the week in the first place.

Deidra, what the fuck does that mean? How about you use some fucking coherent words to describe a post you dislike, which happens to be on a site that solely exists because of TEXT and descriptive word usage. Fuck off with your -2

Why did you do this twice? Are you THAT afraid of a -2? I hate whiners.

Hey name-thief, why don't you fucking realize that if you fucking fucking really didnt care what these fucking fuckers fucking thought you wouldn't have to prove your fucking self-worth by justifying your fucking post to them and saying fuck a lot, and fucking wouldnt fucking care about a fucking rating on some fucking website.

Cuberat, Nice fucking observation, how about you go off with your spy-glass and figure some other shit out like that the site i copied off of was my own and I did it to see what someone with half a fucking brain might think of my work. Take your idea of a good post and eat my ass cause unless your going to critique my post with some enthusiasm then I don't need your comment cluttering up my pages.
Xcuses, what a cunning pun for an even more cunning cunt. Hey, wow a cute little word usage that makes people chuckle when they read. Maybe if I put some thought into it I could waste my life just like you. That or at least get off the computer from reading a post that some guy put up to get an intellectual response from his thoughts, and not his grammar.
If you didn't read the post and decided to critique my shit based off of what it LOOKS LIKE then you might as well save yourself the trouble of a suicide note and just do it right the first time. Sorry, couldn't help but bring up the suicide thing potatomanjack, you hit such a soft spot with your low angled insult at my use of a blog and desire to live. Even your thoughts on giving blow jobs seem to push my will to fight to the floor, and quietly molest what doesn't belong.
Chroniclysm, Thanks for the remark on what you've decided is of use to this web site, its people, and everything else that coexists with my post. Maybe you could go on Oprah and tell people what they should do after they fuck so no hard feelings are shared between the poor middle aged couple.
Security guard? What the fuck? Thats not even getting a response. I'm a programmer for NewGen technologies. Know what else? Thats a fucking lie since NOBODY FUCKING CARES WHAT I DO.
C1ndy, fuck off. I could care less about what the motherfucker looks like, or whether or not i've mixed up a cock in your mouth. Its all the same and once again, words aren't written to look pretty. Words are written to express an interest or thought. Don't agree with the thought? Fine, let me know. Go back to 10th grade and teach some fucking 10th graders if your so unimpressed with their english that you seem to notice it offhand from a website of no identity.
Stevie, you get what you give. Fuck off.

First things first. So you're saying you like polishing the knob then?
Now that that's settled, why don't you go and blog yourself up a suicide note.
