job experiences, share! Options

[transcendentalis...]

I'm starting my first formal job tomorrow!
I say formal because I've done jobs that are just like... tutoring kids for school, teaching music, kung fu, and all sorts of jazz.

Anyway, this thread.. would be for sharing memorable job experiences. And complaining about your job or just talking about being employed in general.

bombs away!

Stephinika - You worked at Tim Horton's? I see that all over the place when I was in Canada! There were a few Starbucks, but over in the states, Starbuckses are EVERYWHERE. Is the coffee good at Tim Horton's? :P


I worked at Express Design Studio for 6 months (Sept. to March), and the store I worked at was the #1 highest volume of customers and top-selling in the region. Why did I mention that? I swear, at least once a week, a manager has to tell me that. Like I don't already know It's fun to work there, depending on where you're zoned. Ack working there made me hate retail because customers can be such bitches and some people are so stuck up. Because the one I worked at is the top-selling and highest volume store in the region, people get cocky and they look you up and down whenever you come to work. Reality check - I WEAR clothes from Express. I don't know why other employees are comparing what I'm wearing with what they're wearing

AND THEN I quit. I'm glad I did, because they introduced this "point system", where you are given a bad number of points for being late, a no-show, nto dressed properly, etc. What are we, children?

We need to meet up at Fashion or something I went to the mall today to get my hair done... unfortunately the appointment was made wrong

End randomness.
