Big companies are all about honesty, right?

Some company secrets are harmless, some are petty, and some make you look at everyday brands a little differently.

Some companies really do have a lot to hide.

Well, we’ve certainly learned a lot. Next time we eat out or stay in a hotel, we will know what to look out for.

Some of these are just small lies that don’t really hurt anyone, like looking in the back. If it’s not in the system, it’s not in the store, how hard is it to understand?

But other things, like pretending to recycle and then dumping items into dumpsters, are simply awful. On the bright side, we’ve also learned how to save money on TVs and diamonds.

Of course, you can also save money by light shoplifting in Target stores, but we can’t really advise you to do that. In that case, you would be dishonest like some companies on the list.

And you wouldn’t want that, would you?
