Bouncer at a popular strip bar. Truly horrific job

Bro... c'mon, you've got to have some good stories. Share

Also, is it possible to get tired of seeing titties?

My worst job wasn’t bad as bad as far as the work goes. It was the pay. Looking back at it I was being severely ripped off.

In the 90s as a kid coming into my teen years during the summers, I worked at two gas stations 2 hours at each/ 7 days a week.

I’d bag ice, restock the cooler, clean the bathrooms, clean the pumps and sweep the main store.

I got paid 70 cents a hour when minimum wage was $4.20 a hour.

fricking Jiffy Lube. I was there because I was in college and had no other skills at the time to get something better. Constant threats and pressure to upsell, especially with the women customers. Hot and oily in the summer and freezing and oily in the winter, went home stinking every night.

Most of my fellow employees were on probation, had been kicked out of the military, or were just plain shiftless lowlifes. They didn't give a shite about their shitty shoddy work and thought the damage they caused was funny.

Customers would come in and get their oil changed, then come back 2 or 3 days later blaming us for their ac going out, or brakes starting to squeal, or cracked windshield, or whatever.

I never understood how people kept going back to them.

It was a fricking misery.

Better than working on the back of a garbage truck for Waste Management like you

Tying rebar at Dow chemical in the summer wearing long sleeve FRC. Hot af, backbreaking manual labor, a-hole idiot boss, lazy retarded coworkers. It was the perfect storm of suck.

Unloading trucks for Lowe’s.

I unloaded trucks at Wal-mart for a year while I was in college. I was in the absolute best shape of my life because of it and I did 4 years in the Army.

But my worst job only lasted 3 days and it wasn't an actual job, it was helping my then girlfriends dad at his business. I recently got laid off and he offered for me to work with him. He installed A/C units and did custom cabinets. The first two days, we installed A/C units in homes being built, no lunch from 6am-4 pm. The third day we installed some cabinets and a custom TV entertainment system, again no lunch 6am-2pm. I also had to drive an hour there to his place to load up and drive an hour back home every day as he wouldn't let me stay over.

After the 3rd day, he hands me a folded up check. I just put it in my pocket as I was talking to my girlfriend. I head back home, open up the check while driving and saw that he paid me $75....for 28 hours of work in 2004. I crumpled up the check and tossed it out of my truck.

Similar to my experience. I was not for the world. Glad I worked there for 2 years for the experience (accounting employers eat CPA experience up like it was crawfish on Easter) but now having a CPA license, I'll never work in public ever ever ever again. frick that.

Some people just aren’t made for a fast paced environment

QC supervisor for a sausage processing plant. Worked 11 p.m. - 7 a.m. for three years straight. Couldn't find or keep a decent crew. Many nights I was alone and had to finish up moving the 300-lb. trees of sausage into and out of the smokehouses after the second-shift cleaning crew had left for the night and before I could even start on sanitizing the facility or getting it ready for the next morning's processing. And if you got hurt or sick during the night...tough shite. You're on your own. No one was coming to relieve you.
