Do you work for Woody Allen?

Nope! Is he horrible?

[Shorty]

I was just thinking about a Seinfeld episode in which he was awful or something. The description of your director reminded me of him.

[Shiny]

Oh, the guy I was talking about is a producer. He is too talentless to direct.

[Shorty]

my bad xD

[ThornQueen]

I work at GameStop...therefore the majority of my job is awful.
But, I love most of my coworkers. So it makes it not suck quite as bad.

Well thanks TQ, I try.

Congrats on the new job, Laddy. Stay in one piece.

Also, congrats TB but shame on you for not telling us what it is.

I used to work at a United Artists theater... in a trout neighborhood. Now that was fun. LITERALLY EVERY MADEA MOVIE SMELLED LIKE FRIED CHICKEN. It's an observation. And I remember half of them smelling distinctly like marijuana as well. Imagine that. Marijuana-flavored deep-fried KFC. Now imagine going home and your nostrils smell like marijuana-flavored deep-fried KFC. And the roof of your mouth tastes like marijuana-flavored deep-fried KFC. And you have to wash your shoes, because you stepped in marijuana-flavored deep-fried KFC.

I work for a family-owned store chain similar to wal-mart, but more local (we're located in illinois, kentucky, michigan, ohio, and soon to be in wisconsin), and it's not a bad job but the managers and the customers leave A LOT to be desired as is the usual way of retail food service.

Where do you work?

[Araciel]

Worked at a factory once bending heating elements. On ten hour night shifts.

I didn't kill myself so that's a plus.

My worst job was at Target. I told them I wouldn't work past 11:00 since I had morning classes, so they scheduled me until 10:30... and then just expect me to stay until 1:00 or so in the morning. On my first day I mentioned going home soon, and the other people just laughed. Being asked to stay late once in a while is one thing, but just being expected to stay an extra three hours or more every single night is bull. I left my resignation on the desk and walked out after a week.

To be fair this has happens in every retail place I've ever worked. Now I never close anymore

Not Disneyland. We get trout done, son. And we have quite an enjoyable time most nights.

Haha I work for Wal-Mart. The experience definitely differs from store to store. I've been a front end cashier, service desk associate, and over-the-counter pharmacy sales associate. I'm trying to be a pharmacy tech now. I've got the position but there's some mess transferring me over because of technical issues with job codes and whatnots. So far my favorite thing to do is the service desk. A lot of people don't like it because it's where you get the worst treatment from customers but it's also where you get the best stories to tell. People get so mad when you tell them you can't refund things you don't sell without a receipt. Also it's really fun watching people squirm when you've caught on to a scam and you hint at it very strongly. I would totally stay at that position for life if it paid a liveable wage. The only thing I don't like about it besides the pay is the erratic hours. Usually at my store they're pretty good about not doing this but Saturday I've got a shift from 5:30PM to 11PM as a cashier, and then Sunday I'm opening the service desk at 7AM. I was training to be a customer service manager but the pharmacy manager asked for me specifically to be a tech and that pays more so I jumped on it. I feel kinda like I sold my soul.
