My WORST job believe it or not was at a local area Baptist church.
I should have known something was fishy when the Church split because the pastor got fired two weeks after I started working there. I was their Church Secretary for the summer and I am here to tell ya "Little Old Church Ladies" are not to be played with!

They can be some evil little son of a guns. These chicks took gossiping and back biting to a whole nother level. It is amazing what folks will do and or say in front of you when they know you are not a member of their Church.

Just scandalous I tell ya!

My worst job was my 1st job. I worked at Kentucky Fried Chicken. I was packing cole slaw at 7:30am! The smell was so unbearable and not to mention the greasy floors and that itchy outfit! I quit after 1 week!

This little restaurant downtown that I worked at in 1990. I was a waitress and made $2.25/ hr. I was undertrained, the "wealthy/ affluent" (one of which I remember well - was a very public Charlotte political figure) rarely tipped, or if they did - it was very minimal. Also, our co-workers would steal our tips, AND, there were times when we (my friend and I) wouldn't get paid on time. I ended up walking out and basically not going back in. I think we went in for our last paycheck and was told by our grouchy manager that we'd get paid in 2 weeks - he was behind in payroll. We went back and it was CLOSED! He filed bankruptcy. Mind you - we were college students, so we were really looking for & really needed our $$.

I worked at Popeyes chicken for a day when I was 15. Supervisors and customers were yelling and cussing. I was extremely shy and sensitive and I know I would not last there. And it didnt help that I couldnt tell the difference between the breast and short thigh. They both were abnormally large pieces of meat.

Worked in a factory for day labor. The machine I worked on continually shocked me (about 1 every 10 min). Not a walk across carpet and touch a doorknob shock but a plug in an appliance with wet hands shock. I called the supervisor and said hey something is wrong with this machine. He worked the machine and said in a patronizing tone theres nothing wrong with this machine, see. As he worked the machine, I could tell he was feeling the shocks because the muscles in his face tightened and his eye bulged slightly. Unfortunately, he found someone else to work the machine.

I was in the military for 4 years to pay off student loans. Enough said.

Thank God for second chances


Hijack***** I never had this job but I am certain that it sucks. I was driving down the street one summer and passed Fazzoli's. There was a guy dressed up as a giant tomato. I live in Florida and it was over 100 degrees. end hijack

I would have to say Dairy Queen. I worked there when I was 17.
You would be amazed at how upset people get over some friking Ice Cream. I had a lady seriously get out of her car and demand to see my manager because the whip cream on her sundae wasn't 'Creamy Enough'.
Sometimes, I'm a bit 'flip' or as I like to say quick witted...lol
So I told her "Maam, whip cream is only about 1.50 at any fine retailer, since our version doesn't quite suit your fancy." She was TOO heated.

I submitted my resignation after a week of employment....lol

I posted my worst job ever on the Ave; I'm on page 3 of the thread. Lemme know what you think.....

[nonchalant]

I worked in a plant called SCI. They put computers together. I worked with a bunch of Mexicans in which only the lead spoke English. My duty was to place the stirafoam*sp* pieces on the ends of the computer tower. Mind you my co-workers do not speak English. Well, the computers were coming down a little too fast for me. I told them to slow it down and they couldn't comprehend. Therefore, I had computers piled up on my end. That next day, I quit after two hours. Didn't even make it two full days. All for $6.25/hr.

Teena, I am so mad at you for these 2 stories. I laughed so hard that my supervisor stuck her head in to see what was so funny. She then reminded me of my deadline for today.

I have to get in on this one. I used to think my worst job was when I was a sales associate at Macy's and them nasty people used to go potty in the fitting room (word to the wise ladies, don't ever drop your clothing on the floor and wash what ever you buy from a retail store).

But I took a job last summer that took the dang-gone cake. After I graduated with my Masters I got a job offer for a position, however it turned out that the offer was an assistant position. Then while I was there turns out I was really a glorified secretary. I quit after a month when these heifers looked at me and told me that I will be the one subbing for the mailroom woman when she was out . I told them peace that same day. I didn't spend $40,000 to get an education to be in no body's mailroom. There is more that occured, too much to go into here, but the mailroom was the one that broke the camel's back.
