I work two jobs, both at minimum wage. I work in an extremely gæ coffee shop (Brightside knows where) and some self-serve froyo place (spn and t18 both know where for some reason.)

A part-time job is maybe 20-25 hours/week? This week (Monday the 6th to today) I've worked 42 hours.

Next week I've got 45 hours lined up. I am going to kill myself, but at least my bills will be paid?

What is the shittiest job you've ever had?

Between working at a recreational center and a grocery store...hands down the grocery store. :wacko: Ick. It wasn't bad in hindsight though and I'd be open to working at one again.

I worked at a deli at a grocery store, which is bad enough. But I was one of the "lucky" ones that got to run the cash register at the deli and scoop ice cream and listen to old grumpy people complain about how the coffee was cold (at 4pm) all at the same time. I would just sit in the back and pretend to do something until someone was at the register and would ring the doorbell. That bell still haunts me to this day :(

Did the grocery store jazz for about a year. They stuck me in the bakery. It wasn't bad or anything, tons of first-time jobists. I escaped with the knowledge of how to decorate a cake with icing and not make it look like shit <3

I worked at a Shoppers Drug Mart (like Walgreens) one-hour photo lab after that. THAT was boring as shit. People take photos of some boring ass shit. Don't get me wrong, some people take really nice photos! We had a few wedding photos once, some families playing with the kids... All very nice.

Boring photos too! Party photos, people whose lives are much more interesting than mine. Don't ask me why, but every shift someone brought in pictures of Niagara Falls.

BUT. There was one instance I will never forget. I remember a husband, a wife, and their baby daughter came into the store. The husband came up to the desk and dropped off a few rolls of film, and asked when he could come and pick them up. I said, "About an hour, no problems." They left.

So I put the film in the machine to develop it, and it gives you a preview of what the photo looks like. This guy had taken 3 entire rolls of film of his wife giving birth to their baby daughter. Like, not from the back or anything. The *front*.

Not sure what went through my mind when I saw the pictures. At first I thought, "Will developing these get me fired?" But when I started to process it a little more, I started to think what the wife was saying in that room.

I developed them all. When the guy came back... he asked, "Good pictures, no?"

all of my jobs have been pretty horrible but the Subway sandwich artist / convenience store cashier combo is probably the worst.

It was in an elegant truck stop that had the Subway in it. I started out in Subway but then "transferred" to the store side as if it was a huge promotion. Plus side is that its where I became so obsessed with negresses and the black lifestyle. :wub:

Worst job--- telemarketer trying to sell shit to people. The pay was never bad though. Always above minimum wage. Also working in a book store because the dumb thing is that you aren't supposed to EVER sit down. Um why the fuck not? Supposedly it looks bad to the customers if you sit in a chair while you wait to serve them? Such bullshit. Your legs get fucking sore and it's just stupid. Also got in trouble for looking at the books too much. :(
I have a cool new extra source of income right now. I did 45 tarot card readings at a mystic festival on Saturday. Just worked flat out taking anyone who appeared in front of me. It was actually awesome. Everyone was nice. I've done a few others so I had some repeat customers.

KUMON :lbf

A factory for the summer. It was full of UD-like psychos and it was just a miserable job altogether. It also didn't help that we had to be up at 5 AM.

That doesn't sound bad at all! It's barely more than full-time, and you get to split it between two easy jobs.

I spent over a year working in the kitchen of Sonny's Barbecue, and that was pretty horrendous. The first restaurant I worked in wasn't quite as bad, but the one here in Gainesville had awful managers, ridiculously strict rules, no breaks allowed, constant tiring labor, an absolute lack of respect or appreciation, and a pit full of new idiots (thanks to their predictably high turnover). I was the only person there who knew what they were doing. Everyone else was just stupid trash. I made pretty close to minimum wage with none of the raises I had been promised. I worked awful hours in a busy college town with facilities that just weren't suited to the high volume of customers. I was close to full-time there during one of my spring semesters and it killed my grades and left me exhausted all the time. Plus I didn't have a car so I had to walk there and back. It was just a terrible job.

Fortunately that's in the past and the internship I have now is pretty amazing. ^_^

I swear I'm going to kill my boss.

I worked at one job before - back in 2009. The boss was nice, a bit strict sometimes but not wholly intolerable. I left cuz of school/wrong time/etc.

Then he sold the joint to New Bosses/Hubbys. One is really nice, I like him.

The other is a pain in the ass. EVERYTHING is ALWAYS wrong. Even when I show him official store literature to disprove him, I'm still wrong. He has a bad tendency to make up rules in his head, but never tells the staff, so we inevitably get in trouble. He contradicts himself at least once per shift regarding "the new rules".

Last week he hired a new worker, "J". I worked with her for the first time tonight. She's nice! I thought she was just an older woman looking for some extra income.

Turns out that she and Pricky McAssBoss have known each other for ages and ages and ages. Perhaps I sound paranoid, but given they've been friends forever, hell if I am telling her ANYTHING. I know it'll go right back to him.

The honest staff at the store call these workers (and customers!!) "spies". They are literally paid to spy on us. Big Brother style.

People rave about my accuracy. :shrug I'm a great astrologer too. I remember back in 2006 UD got me to do his astrological chart and tell him some stuff. And there were many indicators in his chart that he was homosexual but I didn't tell him that bit because it would have made him mad at the time.
There were also a ton of indicators that he would have twins or triplets or something. That came up over and over again. Which if he and a gay partner used a surrogate would be quite likely as it is so common with IVF rainbow babies.
