Basically I went to a loading dock, loaded my little Nissan pickup with like a half ton of phone books, then ran from door to door delivering them for minimum wage.

I worked as a recruiter for tech jobs. That isn't so bad in itself, but first I had to fire a guy with a family who had hygiene problems simply because he had to walk to the jobsite every day, until he could buy a car. He hadn't even gotten his first check yet. That was bad. What was worse was that my boss made a pass at me when I got upset about that, and then fired me when I turned him down. That spurred me to go to graduate school, oddly enough.
Second was working for some family friends in their computer shop/networking service center. I needed something until school started and they needed someone who spoke French and English to be their "face" with customers. I'd known them since childhood; some of them had lived with my family. We were that close.
One day I came into work to find the drawers of my desk all ripped apart, and one of them asked to talk to me. I'd just told them I was pregnant to add it to my health insurance the day before. They decided to fire me, then went through my desk and found some software that one of them had given to me because it was old but he thought my young son could play games with. Another one found it, thought I had stolen it, and decided to fire me. Later that day, AFTER I'd left, the one who gave it to me had come in and set his sister straight, but I'd already filed for unemployment. They wanted me to come back but I refused. I didn't want to work with anyone who would think I was a thief, particularly someone who was supposedly close to my family! Relations between our family have been somewhat strained ever since.

What really happened? My co-worker was being nice and offering to help with a project of mine, so he asked "How can I help you?" and I replied, "Well, my car needs a good wash..."
I knew my time at this job was limited with this kind of bad behavior. It was the worse job in my life and I was treated terribly.
Thanks for letting me vent...

The day before (morning when?) I left, I was standing on a ladder at 3 AM (having arrived at work at 7AM, having been on the ladder for the last 6 hours), pulling network cable through the suspended ceiling. My boss, the owner, was sitting on the floor, where he'd been for about an hour, eating a cheeseburger. He said to me, plaintively, that he was "sick and tired of being the only one here."
So the next day I resigned, making his statement a little more true.

M$Now these weren't just any vacuum cleaners, they were pretty High End. They had me trying to sell these babies for $1999!! Imagine that, trying to convince someone to pay 2 grand for a vacuum cleaner. And you know what the craziest part was? Some people actually bought them! While I did make great money when I sold one (which was often at first), when i didn't, I got nothing because it was all work on commission.
Besides spending my days trying to sell an overpriced contraption to people who I knew couldn't afford it (I had to put people on monthly finance plans sometimes), the straw that broke the camels back was when I had to return to a motor home to have a guy refill out some paperwork on the vacuum that he'd bought a few months earlier to help remove dust from the air for his wife who had a rare lung disease. When their son answered the door and told me that his mother had just died, I almost broke down. The guy was real nice about everything and still signed the papers, but I couldn't take it anymore and quit the next day.
Lesson: Having bad jobs makes you appreciate it when you find a job that you love!

The children were usually misbehaving or arguing with their parents or begging for items, and the parents were stressed and angry with the kids and other holiday stresses (money, tight deadlines, crowds, lineups) and would take out their aggressions by yelling at the sales staff for things that are not their fault. For example, apparently I am responsible for selling someone an item on Monday and not being able to see into the future and know that on Wednesday the district manager would decide that item would be on sale.
