Horrors of Employment

It's not what the Vaseline is made of. Petroleum jelly keeps heat contained, which makes it a VERY bad choice for burns.

[Lambeth]

that was actually a very bad typo on my end.

Any fellow retailers know the horror of this weekend known as back to school tax free weekend. Goddamned kids, why are there so many of them.


Speaking of which, where do you guys work? I'm sales floor at Target.

I'm actually a cashier at Target, Tax-Free weekend was a complete and total bitch.

Also, how can there be people out there who don't know how to use a credit/debit card machine? You slide your goddamn card through and follow the words, it isn't complicated.

The best part of working for the government(other than above-average pay) is learning lots of new engineering jokes.

I've gotta say, for the most part, my employment history has not been anything horrific. However, my last job was pretty shitty.

I worked in the kitchen at a restaurant my Dad was doing a consulting thing with doing some minor prep cooking and dishwashing. He helps get businesses off the ground, basically. However, the people he was involved with did not listen at all. I expect their business will be closed shortly but that's an aside. The guy running the kitchen has serious problems with the head chef for whatever reason. He informed the head chef that he would fire each and every one of us and replace us with two mexicans who would do the work faster and cheaper. Then after getting us through the busiest weekend we had ever seen, he fired the head chef just because he didn't like him. I quit shortly thereafter as the head chef was a personal friend.

Oh, they also had this awesome habit of paying us late, sometimes by days. After I quit, I would come in and just refuse to leave until they paid me.

At my last (and only sigh) job, I worked in a tea shop, run by a Chinese brother and sister. Their mother ran an apocathery in the back.

One time I was cutting up labels for the tea canisters and she came over after I had finished she told me I did everything wrong and took them from, then redid the whole thing. I felt bad

[AngusMcLeod]

Today, I did it. I quit my job dressed as a WW1 Prussian infantryman.

Got arrested and then set free without charges. But God, the look on my manager's face and her confused stuttering was priceless.

[Superior Bacon]

why were you arrested? is wearing a WW1 uniform illegal now?

Customers and managers called 911, thinking I was going to do something terrible to the place. Maybe the German singing didn't help.
