    Retail jobs offer a glimpse into what all those people you see walking by you on the street every day are like.


    They are dumb fucking assholes.

    I don't know. Most people are pleasant to the cashiers.

    Maybe you're just ugly and they were mean to you.

    It really blows because the two guys that were picked over me later got fired for being total creeps. One was frightening the customers, and the other was caught on camera freaking out, screaming at people that weren't there, and throwing things.

    i know a guy who got busted for trying to talk one of the underage bagboys into giving him a handjob

    he still works for the company, they just made him change stores

    My first job was at an amusement park.

    Some people just don't want to pay 10 dollars for parking, you're willing to shell out $200 for your family to get into the park and then a further $50 out of our overpriced merchandise and "food", but $10 is suddenly the line you draw in the sand?

    How did you guys get such awesome jobs to start with?

    I'm going on vacation soon, but when I get back I'm going to crack down and start working for a MCSA certification, as I've taken classes for a few of the tests.

    My first job was a Dunkin' Donuts.

    After the three years I spent working there I realized that getting yelled at by customers for doing things correctly was not worth minimum wage.

    Paying 10 dollars to have your car parked is pretty outrageous, dude. College students live off less than that.

    no, but the kid who he'd asked had a nervous breakdown in front of the entire front end that same day

    he had a stutter under normal circumstances, so watching him freak out in front of everyone was equal parts endearing and hilarious

    Man, getting a job at Dunkin Donuts around here is cracked out. One family owns all of the stores in the tri-county area, and each store is entirely manned by either their extended family, their friends from India, or the white friends of their children. It's fucking crazy.

    I used to work at a supermarket in Denmark.

    I was a shopping cart collector / cleaner / put everything in place type.

    I had to clean the floor of excremental items more than once. A spell of diarrhoea had motivated a certain shopper to run up a series of steps with good speed, but all the shopper ended up achieving was a large spread of diarrhoea chunks and drops. I was tasked with the cleaning, armed but with some paper towel and a bucket of water.

    Hrrghh

    First job experience?

    The night before what was supposed to be my first day at Subway, my friend calls me up.

    "Hey," he says. "How would you like to work at Pacific Office Equipment, building custom PCs, and doing service calls in people's homes?"

    So that is exactly what I did. It was pretty great as a first job, sitting back in the tech bench area with all these awesome, old-school computer guys. I had no experience at all with PCs (my family owned an Apple IIc+), and this was back in 486 days, when motherboards were a forest of jumpers...but I ended up learning quickly.

    And in the mid-90's, as a 17-year old kid, it felt pretty awesome to be making $12/hr. I felt so rich.

    Do they try to hawk that stupid fucking rewards card on you?

    They refused to promote me to manager after six months because I was .05% off the company goal for selling those things.

    Thank God, in hindsight.

    He's not really a good friend, though. I used to talk with him in high school, and I've seem him a handful of times recently because he's good friends with a couple of my good friends. Also, he's possibly a hookup for psychedelics.

    i'm going to be working at the new one that's all big and stuff and it kicks ass, and i'll be making $7 an hour and I will be working full time, as a cashier (I was expecting bagger, but cashier is better I guess)

    I'm nervous though I have to go to a meeting tomorrow and I start training this thursday or the next. It's like my first job ever. Real job at least.

    post with first job experiences and ways of calming me down because i'm a little bit worried

    Nah. They mostly just bitch about working at Waldenbooks, but there really aren't a whole lot of better jobs in this town.

    I think one of them just got promoted so he's in charge of hiring now, which pretty much guarantees the next time I'm home all of my friends will be working at Waldenbooks.
