 Re: Worst job you ever had?
I lasted a day as a door to door fundraiser guy. Since I'm largely afraid of dogs, I quickly realized the mistake I'd made. But it'd probably be a wack job anyways with the walking all day and I wouldn't want to be there in bad weather
Other than that, when I was younger I thought being a waiter would be a cool job, but in retrospect it much pretty much sucked.

Pool attendant at a hotel. The manager was a Nazi. Not actually, but she was one of the worst people I've ever met. Working at Staples was pretty bad too. Manager was terrifying, would dread walking into work I was so afraid of her.

 Re: Worst job you ever had?
When i worked at Subway, i was 17 at the time, i lasted a month, all that nasty shit i saw behind the scenes, the stories are true about fast foods places, i have not been to a fast food restaurant since, and im suspicious even when going to fancy places
I have seen people spit, put boogers and dead insects in peoples orders, and its more common than you think.

 Re: Worst job you ever had?
Most of the Subway workers I experience are in terrible moods, are rude, or just look... exhausted and sad. And there's regularly just one or two workers. I never take it personally though, and typically leave a (small) tip even if the service is crap.
I imagine it's pretty awful. I've seen people give them very hard times over such little things ("not enough mayo!!!", "why is extra cheese more?!"), and always having someone staring you down just a few feet away as you make their food, especially during busy lunch or dinner times, is bound to be stressful on many.

Cooking hamburgers at Hardee's when I was like 15. Maybe that's why I'm a vegetarian now.

 Re: Worst job you ever had?
I think I've liked every job I've worked. Bank of America was boring, so that was probably the "worst".

For part of that time I became the Head of the Media and Film Department for the Sheriff's Office, then became Sheriff Joe Arpaio's own media/social media guy. That was crazy too.

Coat check for a student party nights
Entitled, drunk 18 year olds are the worst. But I don't take shit from anybody and I did very much enjoy denying them their precious purses if they had lost their ticket or were being extremely rude. I got fired eventually and wore it as a badge of honour.
