now thast disturbing

[pbguy888]

heh my job is cool. Im a lifegaurd so somebody wont listen tell em to sit out for a certain amount of minutes. And it seems alot of times adults dont like to listen to a 16 year old. So if they wont listen then I just kick them out of the pool.

One time it was wierd though... My boss left and I was the only one workin(small pool) and this guy(probly 30ish) is playing on the baseball field right beside the pool, with a mentaly retarted person named Billy that allways hang around there. But I notice the guy is paying more attention to the girls in the pool(not like hot teenagers , like 10 year olds)
And then he walks away with Billy and Im like o ok. But he then walks in the pool. Of course I get up and tell him sence he is not a member he has to leave. He said "scram kid Ill do what I want"
So I call the police and two of them roll up. And I go outside and talk to them and tell them whats up. And we walk into the pool together , and the guy takes off sprinting. One of the police chace him down and tackle him, cuff him and take him ot the car. Turns out he was wanted for robbin a gas station. lol

LOL, you guys have had some crazy experiences in retail.

In my 9 months working retail, the worst I've had is some drunk guy grab me asking me who I was and what I was doing.

What drove me nuts though, is that people would actually expect the lowly minimum wage earning student to know all about everything.
And you have to watch for the young workers who tell you something, because it might be BS. This one girl I worked with gave some guy (who didn't know what he was doing) what he thought was weed-n-feed - it turned out to be some kind of herbicide that killed his whole lawn, lol. Come one, reading the directions on the back isn't difficult.

Also, I hated working saturdays. It would be so busy, and the store never brought in enough employees so the customers were getting angry when they couldn't get help. I got so sick of people yelling at me, that I'd just go into the back and "look" to see if we had some item a "customer" wanted in stock.

Oh, and one of the classic comments when a customer picks up a wrong item, thinking it is in the flyer - "Thats false advertising!"

Should have slapped that girl back :)

HAHA! used to get that ALL the time! or even if it's not in stock they'll say that. especially funny when it says right there "limited quantities."

You only need to have 1 in stock for it to be legal. The staples by me does that. Someone who worked there told me they would advretise a $50 game for $20, somthing rediculous, but they would make sure they only had 1 in stock first.

We all have bad days:) I'm like you, i'm a nice guy and i always think "calm" and "peacfully" as you might say, but when someone pushes my buttons i get mad. We all have days like these and we really cant do a thing bout them. So why did that girl slap you?

[trevorjk]

i honestly have no clue why she slapped me i mean i just walked up to her and said everything text book and nicely wasnt staring at anything other then her face i had a smile im still as mistified as everyone else here as to why i got slapped

Contrary to popular belief, fast food joints are where it's at for teenagers.

At Wendy's I got paid $6.00 an hour to talk about sex with other employees and play put put in the walk in freezer. My friend seems to be having a similar experience at Arby's (try and get some friends to work at the same place). It was a shame I had to quit because of school.

wow I can't believe I just read all of that. Srry about what happened, I hate stupid people (chick and ur boss).

The gas station paid $7 an hour off the books, plus $1-3 an hour in tips, about $200 in tips the week before christmas. When I worked alone, my friends came and hung out there with me. Didn't pay labor on getting my car fixed to an extent. When it wasn't busy outside I could watch movies, do whatever I wanted. My boss got DSL for his office upstairs, and I had him talked into running a line down so I could leave an old computer there, but I had to leave for college so it wasn't really going to be worth it. He also got satalite TV about a month after I left. :)

Construction $100 a day for 8 hour days off the books, but that was hard work. Carrying golf bags i got $35-$45 (more on occassion) for a game that would go 3-4.5 hours, plus up to 2 hours of waiting around. The other guys that carried 2 bags (I was too young at the time) made twice that per game, plus they get to use the private gold course for free. Altough I don't play golf, so that was rather useless to me. Selling christmass trees, I got $3 an hour, plus tips, about $800 in two weeks. I foget what other jobs ive had

[laxkid]

night shift oh yea:) it sucks some times I work at a super market and some times drunks come in and will yell at you and S*** and one time this guy brought a bat in and tried to beat up one of the cashiers thats it and I think that you trevor should have filed a law suit on that girl for assult if you have video cameras in your store you can get some money well that is what I have to say,
