Tell us about the crappy times you had at work.

For me, I took a job in Gamestop once, And it was my first day.
And my new boss keeps telling me this. "Never sell rated "M" games to kids without their parents!"
So i worked happily for a few hours until 2 little boys walked into the store. One was a little older then the other.

"Hello. Welcome to Gamestop! How can i help yo-"

"Do you has Cwall of Dooty?" Says the older child.

"Well. I cant sell you that because of its rating. you need your parents to be around." While i say this, i see tears run down the younger kids face.

"Okay well come back later." says the older child.

Both kids leave.

In a few more hours. Those 2 kids show up. with an adult.

"Hello. Welcome to Gamestop! How may i help you?"

The adult mumbles "I wanna purchase that Call of Duty..."

While i take the game out of the display safe, i tell the adult "This game contains some Violence and gore and bad language. Just a heads up."

Well. The adult turns around and walks out. And the younger kid starts having a screaming fit. We had to call the police because he pushed over some shelfs. and apparently. that adult wasnt the kids father.

And to this day, Those 2 kids still come in, and still try to get Call of Duty.

How old did the two kids look?

Yeah, i'm never working at gamestop if I have to deal with people like that all the time.

edit:

Why did i quote myself...

Oh, oh, when this Belorussian hipster was looking down on us for being lowly fish mongers last summer... Or when I made a one cent mistake on this old lady's change (giving her one cent too much, might I add) and she goes off on this generation not being able to do math and how we're all heavily mentally retarded and lazy or something.

(I don't work but here's my worst experience with a worker)
I was at Kroger and a worker that looked like he was 16 drove a train of carts into my ankle. Complained and never saw him again.

I charged a customer for the wrong order, but didn't realize it until it was too late. No one was happy with me on that day...

Lol, I can't believe so many corrupted kids would do ANYTHING to get call of duty.

Washing a bus and then watching it crash into a pile of dirt.

I work in a resort near a racetrack that has huge events all summer and so many people have been coming in this month and won't stop coming until halfway through next month. I wash dishes for the kitchen, and since there's been a heat wave, the kitchen is ungodly levels of hot and even though I was drinking water almost constantly, I still started to get dehydrated.

It's kind of a coincidence that I found this thread, because last night was the worst ever. Basically, it was the hottest it's ever been in the kitchen, and so many people flooded the dining hall. Normally, parties of over 15 are told they need a reservation. A group of 29 showed up unannounced. It was the busiest night anyone could remember. Basically, it got to the point where there was no humanly way possible to keep up with the dishes and still have them be clean (one of the line cooks jumped in at a slightly slower point and every dish he ran through had all sorts of food still on it because he just crammed them into the machine).
So basically I was at work from about 5pm to 12:15am because while the kitchen is supposed to be completely done either at or just after 9:30, orders were being prepared until 10:30 and even 5 people total couldn't clean up after that.
I was ready to just fall over dead, and even though it takes a LOT to make me cry I almost burst into tears.
And then I broke a glass. So I told this one chef that if I died he could have my David Bowie CDs. And I was about 75% certain that I was going to just fall over out of having a headache which turned out to be the start of dehydration.
So yeah. I slept like a log after that and I'm still sore.

My migraines are classed as a "Migraine variant", unfortunately. At its worst it was 4 or 5 days a week. Those damn bright lights and loud voices everywhere... There were some pretty trippy days.

When I was serving food, I spilled soup on one of the elderly women on accident. I felt horrible for the rest of the day (and a few days after that) but she was nice about it.

I had to pick a job because of my "we're gonna train u to work, yo" School and the job I picked got me fired after 2 days.

GOOD TIMES.

I had a part time job at a deli/bakery in highschool. After the great blackout of '03 (about 2-3 days without power). I was the lucky one who had to clean the rotting meat from the deli counter.

Do you know what colour pimento loaf turns after 3 days in the August heat? I do.
