This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.


That's right, Morrisons, fuck you.

I was at work today. Boy, oh boy, I could've cracked some motherfucking skulls. It's a Saturday which, at least in Bongistan is the busiest day of the week for supermarkets and the rain was utterly torrential. Not only this, but I - the new guy - was working on my fucking own.

I started at 10am, and the guy I usually work with - on Sundays - went home at 10.30. Sundays aren't so bad, because my colleague doesn't leave until 2 in the afternoon, and it isn't as busy. Anyway, if you wanted to graphically represent the busiest time of the busiest day for a supermarket, it'd be a bell-curve of 11am-through-1pm on a Saturday.

It's my job to run around the car park and grab the trolleys from their mini-bays in order to bring them to their main bay at the front of the store which can hold about 160 trolleys - among other things. Today, I was fighting in order to keep even one in that main bay. They were being taken out as soon as I could put them in. I didn't even have time to refill the baskets inside the store, so I presume somebody else got impatient and did it on my behalf.

Now, you're supposed to take your break around the middle of your shift which would've been 1pm for me. However, because I knew people would be complaining if I left the bay empty and just waltzed off for 45 minutes to eat, so I spent the next hour and a quarter filling the bay to about 75pc. I went for my lunch at 2.15pm, cut 15 minutes off and was back outside on the job by 2.45pm.

My line manager had the fucking audacity to give me a bollocking because, while I was having my lunch, the bay had gone from about 75pc full, to about 25pc full.

ITT: tell us about your shitty jobs.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.

Less eating, more working.

I hated having to connect the barrels to the tap on my own, those things are so heavy.

Let's see, I worked at a car dealership and was the guy that had to keep all the cars in even lines and organize them. Although I did everything but that, as when my manager left work I was stuck with the sales team and the other managers and they would all treat me as a pack mull, telling me to go to a dealership to get another car, clean a car for a customer, drive other employees to customer houses. Then whenever somebody from my "department" would fuck up (say misplacing a sign) then some random manager would barge in and start yelling at me and somebody else, telling us how we will loose pay and shit. Final, FINAL straw was when being told I wouldn't be working weekends anymore so had made plans to go camping with my family one weekend but out of the blue, was told a day before I had to work on that one weekend so I straight up went to my manager and quit. They never gave me a weekly schedule so I never gave them a 2 week notice

Then I worked at a thrift store, so you can imagine with the idiots on a day-to-day basis. Luckily for me, the store manager was a lesbian man hater and she treated all the guys there like shit and would yell at us over the smallest thing while the female employees would do way worse but she wouldn't give a fuck. But I had similar instances of working by myself and having to do janitorial work, make sure carts were in the rack thing outside, sort through donations, and accept donations. I would still take my break and not give a fit if anybody complained because it's my entitlement to take a break and the alternative would to simply sue them

I know your pain Meta, I had to do cart pushing at Wal-Mart for 3 fucking years.  Last year we had an awful snowstorm that ended up freezing the metal carts onto the metal cart corrals (or, mini-bays) and the cart pusher wouldn't even fucking go anywhere because of the snow and ice.

I opened that entire time, and my friend/co-worker, who was the second opener, kept calling out because he said he couldn't get out of his own driveway (mind you this mother fucker lives closer to town than I do.  I live out in the country and I still made it to work, despite sliding on the ice a few times).  My managers kept harassing me and giving me shit about the situation, because I could only hand-push 5 carts at a time.  And this was Wal-mart during the holidays, so use your imagination on how busy it was.

I almost quit until my manager promised me a promotion (which didn't happen until I fought for it RIGHT before summer started.)

Two weeks ago I signed up for a concrete job. I told the boss I had only done this once before and I'd be rusty. Long story short, I ended up being the only guy apart from the concrete dude calling the shots who knew what he was doing. So, I basically did the work of three people alone.

I hate concrete work.

Ha, I work in ASDA on checkouts.

There was a fire alarm today because the bakery bellends somehow managed to set a box on fire. That was pretty entertaining for 45 minutes

What's that like?
It's not really stressful, but it gets pretty boring after a couple hours. It's shit working weekends because there's always underage twats that try to get their grannies/mums to buy them alcohol, so according to the law I have to challenge them for ID, and they ALWAYS give me shit for it.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
Argos isn't too bad. Although I feel like I'm doing more than what I'm paid for.
I work mostly on a headset which involves speaking to a computer and grabbing items from the warehouse and bringing them out to customers. It's pretty active so my shifts go by real fast. Tills are the worst tbh, I'm happy as long as I'm not on a till.
WOULD YOU LIKE PRODUCT CARE WITH THAT?
WOULD YOU LIKE AN EMAIL COPY OF YOUR RECEIPT IN CASE YOU LOSE YOUR PAPER COPY?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BASH MY HEAD IN FOR OFFERING ALL THIS SHIT YOU DON'T NEED?
OH I FORGOT, DO YOU HAVE AN ARGOS CARD? NO? WOULD YOU LIKE ONE?

If the old ass, broken bodied, fat slob of a mechanic that I work with wants me to not only clean up after him but do half his work on planes that are in for annuals, I wanna start seeing some fucking A&P type pay, not just my fueler rate...

Hey, my first job was bagging groceries and bringing in the carts [trollies] to the corrals. It kinda sucked because it's so damn hot in AZ but it was a good workout and we got a lot of independence.

I neither fear, nor despise.
tfw one manager has one way of doing things, that conflicts with another's......

I've had too many instances of "no this is the proper way to do this"......only to be taught something different the next day.

Better than that? The ONE time you need a manager , they aren't around.
So I walk around the ENTIRE restaurant looking for them.

"Ornate chandeliers suspended from a vaulted ceiling lit the spacious chamber; Jack tilted his gaze overhead and noticed how far away they were.  His thoughts wove around those bright lights, like a dance of ether masses spiraling in precious unison. Why must we try to clutch desperately for the mere threads of this world when we can clasp onto a tapestry of untold magnificence beyond this plane of existence?"

I cant argue with progress, just you.
I work at a grocery store that pretty much is busy 24/7. Im lucky that since being in meat department I can hide for a bit in my cooler or the back room.

Well I got this store manager that is pretty much the poster child for passive/aggressive. She will also hold a grudge at you for the god damn smallest thing. I dont make a sign for her due to working on my Dept. and dear god I get belittled by her and treated like shit for weeks at a time. Also she screams at us for the smallest shit like having a fucking spot empty when we are fucking filling it up as she speaks.

The worst part is that we are always busy no matter what. Im always behind on something and we never have any decent help. Always send some bag boy that doesnt have the slightest clue what to do. We train them, do all the paper work, give them hours that cut into our and this shit is gonna surprise. They say "I cant do this, its too hard" bitch all you do is fill stuff up and help people on the counter. Its not like you have to do any ordering or paperwork.

Then the customers that are either 50/50. Either a decent human being or a complete sack of fucking shit that should be exterminated with extreme prejudice and no fucking mercy.

I have people hug me, tell me thank you or just good people. Then the other assholes that tell me I dont do my job right, try to get food cheaper by telling me "oh this looks bad so can you mark this down". I just put that out there like 4 minutes ago. The oxygen hasn't even turned the meat red yet. Fat land whales breathing so hard I can hear them breathing complaining that the meat isn't cut thick enough and she is angry. That she should get a thicker piece cut and get for free. Fuck you hambeast.

Or the assholes that fuck with you for fucks sake. They make you go through all these hoops just to fuck with me. They leave smiling after I do everything they ask, greeted with a genuine smile, just to get it exactly at 1.33 pounds.  Oh If I fuck up and get it somewhat close they laugh at me but since Ive been doing this so long. I get it to 1.33 every time, they get pissed at me and yank the package of meat they order out of my hand.

What I wouldnt give to lock them in a house and watch them burn. Just listen to their cries and screams. I used to be a nice person. Working in retail and customer service kills you inside.
