I worked part time at a country club on Long Island during high school and college. This job sucked ass! Twelve to 13 hours a day, 6 days a week!! I remember seeing old guys hitting on the 17-year-old waitresses in front of their wives (I KNOW GUYS!!! 'And the problem IS?!?!?'). I remember one of my HS friends whose parents were members of the club wouldn't talk to me while I served her and her parents b/c "It embarrassed her." Another member asked me, "Where do you go during the fall?" When I told her I went to college, she replied, "Oh! You mean this isn't your full time job?!?!" UGGGHHH!!!
I also worked at the public library. The librarians *didn't* like me. They refered to me as the "Girl in the Dungarees." OOH! That affected my permanent record!
I'm sure I've had it soft-- I'm sure a lot of you have had suckier jobs!!!

I worked at Friendly's as a DISHWASHER when I was a freshman in college. NICE HEAD DEEEK! The slop and scum that was on those plates after the geriatric league came through was horrifying. There was a huge steam cleaner for the plates and when I would open the door to the washer the steam smelled like super heated trash!!
Paperpboy - the suckiest suck that ever sucked - literally nickel tips - Golly Gee Wolly I hope I don't spend this whole NICKEL in one place - what the F

Thunderlips was a dishwasher with his brother one summer. He loved the job! He had a blast! I don't understand it-- it must have been something other than the dishwashing!

I admire anyone in the food service industry. I can totally understand why they would spit in people's food. I hate people.
Rooster, goddamn that sucks...I can't wash other people's dishes. Caked-on food is something I can't deal with, especially when it's stuff I won't eat, and SUPER Especially when it's something like italian food.
As for me, I worked at a hardware store. It was an 11 hour day, starting at 6 am, when I helped open the store. Carrying 5 Gallon Drums of Paint is NOT fun. They're very heavy and there's NO grip on them. Ever carry a pail or bucket of water? You know how uncomfortable that goddamn handle is? Imagine that about 50 pounds heavier, on your hand or on your shoulders, upstairs, thirty or so, two at a time. Because it's retail, there's no sitting, despite giant dead periods, because you have to be always ready for customers. Ick.
I say we start an agrarian compound somewhere in the canadian wild and never work again. Who's with me?

I have worked all areas of the food industry including dishwashing, which was by far the worst. I delivered pizzas, work behind theecounter of a pizza place, worked prep in a restaurant, waiter, and was a line cook also.
Food industry sucks.

Where do I begin? I was a busboy for a Mexican restaurant during the summer between junior and senior year in high school, but we'd steal Dos Equis and chug 'em in the kitchen, so that wasn't so bad.
Then I worked in a factory on the conveyor belt loading mail order crap into boxes. You weren't allowed to talk to ANYONE, not even the people next to or across from you. On the fourth day, I went home for lunch and never went back.

I also worked at a bridal store called "Kleinfeld". I was the guy in the basement who brought up all of the gowns and dresses to all of the ladies. It was a difficult job for a teen...especially when some of the ladies would strip down in from of me..BOING!

My food service experience was double-edged. I was a dishwasher at a academy for "Masters, Mates, and Pilots". Basically they taught ship captains, and they even had a bridge simulator (like a flight simluator) so the students could practice travelling any port of the world. I worked there because it was located across the street from my neighborhood growing up in Maryland, and all of the kids in the neighborhood worked there at one time or another.
It was the best of jobs, it was the worst of jobs. No doubt, working next to a massive dishwashing machine spewing scalding steam for 8 hours, or armpit deep in greasy water scrubbing literally hundreds of pots by hand sucked massively. I wore the same jeans everyday and the stink just never went away no matter how many washings. Eventually I got so used to the hot water that I could put my hands inside the running dishwasher to free stuck dishes without pain.
And there were three bosses that would alternate shifts. The head guy, Izzy was an old cheapskate hardass. The second in command was Joe, Izzy's son and a massive kiss-ass douchewad. And finally Randy, a plump, bearded party boy who grew his own pot (never shared it though). It was a joy to be on Randy's shift because he let us crank the radio and tap into the kegs when it was slow. A lot of cool guys worked there, and the waitresses were pretty hot. I never got very close to them because the other guys in the kitchen were much more aggressive. Once a year they had a crab feast and all of the help was invited to partake as well (once we had picked up all the trash). My brother and I helped the boss Randy steal a dresser one weekend (it was a dorm-style place) and drive it to his house. Free dinners, freedom to screw off (provided you still did your job), a basketball hoop out in the back parking lot. Pretty cool overall if you could get past the grease.
The worst job I ever had was a one-day temp job. 5 other people and I were at a bank to ... staple papers ... for 8 hours solid. Must have been 50 of the case-size boxes full of paper that had to be collated and stapled. A complete nightmare. Numbing mentally, paper cuts out the ying-yang, and the noise of 6 power staplers going incessantly.... ahhhh!

Kids, you tried your best and you failed. The lesson is: Never try.

EMB Said:"I sold knives."
Were they cutco?? Cause I bought into that gimmick too. I think that job sucked a fat one.
Starbucks was pretty bad, but I always worked iwth kick ass people. My favorites we're Dan & Chet...2 Highschool drop outs who both had house arrest bracelets. Those kids were my faves. When I was manager, my shifts were always the most fun. We drank Tiazzis mixed with bacardi 151 and smoked L's in the walkin fridge just so we could deal with the annoying fucks that came in there. Damn you coffee snobs!
JCrew also sucked a fat one. They're fucking nazi's there. I'll just leave it at that. Is there really anyone who would seriously pay $400 for a fucking UGLY cashmere sweater?!?! THe answer my friends: YES...but she had her PERSONAL SHOPPER (someone she HIRED to shop for her, cause lifting the credit card was too much) come buy it.
