I must admit that I am guilty of covering someone's shift after my last day... but it was the day after my last day at work so I'm not sure if that really counts.
from working in hotel reservation
... if you have ever answered your phone "reservation desk"... double bonus points if the person actually tries to make a reservation
... when you can be checking into the hotel and you know more about the property than the people at the hotel
... when you are on an employee rate and the person at the front desk has to ask you what qualifies as proof of employment
from car rental
... when you can still tell which cars are from your company a year after you left
...when you miss long term parking because you forgot you can't use employee parking anymore... damn have to drive the whole way around the airport again (i wish I was joking on that)
... worse you have actually pulled into employee parking and one of your old coworkers asks if you are trying to get your old job back (no way in hell)
... you hand wash your car not because you know how to do it better than the automatic (which you can) but out of habit.
from parking enforcement
... you have ever gotten a parking ticket because you forgot you no longer had employee privilages
... you still remember which lots are monitered by the company, remember their lot number, and remember exactly how much they charge. (for the record, U013 was my favorite lot to check because the manager at the burger king next door gave us free drinks).
from movie theatres
...it bothers you to this day when people at the concession stand put butter only on the top (ugh, you are supposed to also put butter halfway through)
... you know enough about projectors that you pick theatres not because of price, location, or time of show, but because of what projector they use
... same goes for sound systems
from retail
... yes I still straighten shelves
from fast food
... you hate going through the drive through
... you actually clean your own table
... you order in the order that you know the employee has to put stuff into the computer
... you try to catch glimpses at the employees screen to 1. make sure they put your order in right 2. see if they have changed systems since you worked there.
