Worked in a grocery store for 4 hours in high school. They started me off learning the register because everyone started there.
What did me in was the large black woman that pulled the moist wad of cash out of her bra.
Called the manager when I got home, told him what happened and said that wasn't for me. He said "No problem. I understand"

My second shortest stint was one night at a Chinese restaurant as a dishwasher/bus boy. There was an Oriental girl right behind me wearing goggles for pepper slicing. I was trying to power-hose chicken or something off a bowl and the water centrivically shot over my shoulder and doused her. She cursed the Asain hell out of me and I never went back.
My third and best one was when I first moved to Nashville and took a job at Cracker Barrel (frick those peg games if you're a bus boy, btw). One night my roomate and I got so hammered I called in and claimed legitimate ill. It was shocking how well the assclown boss took it.
It turned out that there was a waiter there with the SAME NAME and a sparkling reputation. I had a real-life Office Space moment when he realized what happened and blew up my answering machine with angry messages.

One week as photographer for a newspaper. They weren't paying me mileage to drive around randomly and find photos so I quit. Gas wasn't cheap.

Cleaning an auto body repair/paint shop as an eleven year old. I found out there was a tv in the office. An hour later and busted for watching cartoons, I was fired. Damned wascally wabbit. It was a good lesson to learn though.

1 day, attempted to sell ADT security systems to the fine folks in North BR. All door slammers except for one nice lady who said she was interested, but unfortunately her 415 credit score required a cash deposit. Well, that was the end of that...

Selling toys door to door for Dynamax off Drusilla. This was summer of 1998. I met 2 other guys and they drove to Krotz Springs to sell junk and toys to businesses. It was appalling.

Took a second job one summer in high school for local parks and rec, just to save some money. I don't know if it was the court mandated coworkers or the picking up cigarette butts by hand that soured me. But, after 6 or so hours in 100+ degree heat, in jeans, being told we couldn't sit on the ground while we waited for some equipment to arrive at a baseball diamond, I was done.

Worked one shift at a car rental place in the airport here in Baton Rouge. I walked to my car at the end of the shift so depressed that this was what my life had come to. I got on the phone with BRCC that day and registered the next. Graduated from LSU a few years later (there was another break in there for no reason, I was so stupid).
I waited tables for only 2 weeks. That job is not for me and I have tons of respect for people who wait tables and especially for those who do it well.

My first job at Ryan's Steakhouse. Quit around two hours into my first shift. I was taking out trash and I just got in my car and drove home. I wasn't prepared for the level of work involved in washing dishes at a buffet.
