I had to work for a 3rd party repair company for Amazon. I'm good with desktop computer repair, and not much else. So they gave me phones and laptops to repair, and I was pretty much stuck at a dead end most of the time. I had to work with a drug dealer and a Reddit admin, and my boss berated me for my repair skills, despite the fact that he knew that I was only good with desktop computers. It also didn't help that we had a quota of 771, and we consistently failed. It also didn't help that the Amazon department has been known for high turn over rates and abusive employees. Mercifully, I got the boot at least two weeks before the entire department got fired. The drug dealer was then subsequently arrested. If my former boss sees this (incredibly unlikely), then please neck yourself at this instant.

Gate guard.

Standing in one spot, looking at ID's, for hours at a stretch in whatever fucking weather. Not allowed to do anything else, even when there's no traffic. No escape from the exceptional motherfuckers posted with you. Constantly disappointed because the windshield takes decades off, and what you thought was a hot chick 100m out, turns out to be an old woman or some faggot.

I remember looking at a dirt lot across the road, and thinking how cool it would be to get to dig holes and fill them in instead.

Sounds cool tbh. You sold me.
 
My brief employment at a fudge shop would have been awesome if my boss wasn't manically bipolar and scaring away customers by telling them how nice their skin is.
She couldn't understand why her employees were quitting unexpectedly, and the location itself closed not long afterwards.

I had nearly the same experience at a cookie shop. I thought it was going to be awesome, but my boss was a legitimate crazy dwarf who could not be fucked to even put out a schedule.
 
I worked at McDonald's once in highschool.
On the first night one of the managers pulled me aside and made me count all the half eaten big Mac's in the trash. Also the general manager hated me.
 
My job working for S&W the only person that was remotely helpful was a women drunk off her ass. I complain but going to work was worth seeing the Hispanic women get into fist fight over a daddy Yankee look alike. Man those fights where brutal.
 
All of my jobs have been pretty good looking back.

The worst was during candidacy for my degree and literally having some weeks spending 14 hours a day in the stacks. To suppliment my income I worked for the lawn and grounds crew that job was fun as fuck. I broke all sorts of safety regs, and rode around on a tractor with a bunch of illegal aliens shit was pretty cash.

Moving sucked I'd say that was the worst because I was in my late teens, playing sports in high school and still had a growth spurt to deal with. The pay was great, I learned the trade quickly but I'm glad I don't do that for a living. It's what pushed me to pick up office skills and changed a whole lot of my life, but it was a great start off that helped pay for college and taught me I can use my brain or body. I was quite literally sore for 2 years straight almost.
 
Worked at a newspaper plant that was the shadiest god damn place. Stole from the mailing company next door, hid trash from inspectors, moldy roof, got a real fucked up story about how a guy got degloved from his forearm to his hand which was also maimed. The majority of the people who worked there were weirdos and not too bright. Management told me after putting in my 2 weeks "oh you were so close to full time" when i was already doing 60hrs a week. The only enjoyment i got out of that place was a manager who was hype as fuck and a cool dude, he ended up overdosing on meth and getting arrested for like 1lbs of weed.
 
I worked the deli at Schnuck's for about five months. My coworkers were a bunch of bitchy morons who gossiped about everyone constantly and were on their phones every chance they got, the work was gross, and the store managers were a pair of weasely cunts who paid their favorite employees (ie the ones who sucked them off after work) extra and treated everyone else like shit. It was minimum wage/part time and I had to pay union dues as well so my checks were nowhere near big enough to be worth it. I quit as soon as I got a job offer from another retail store.
 
I worked at a dangerously understaffed nursing home for two years directly out of high school. There were nights only two of us would be on a floor with 50 people on it. I was groped, attacked, pissed on, and once a 300 pound man tried to snap my tiny stick arm like a twig in his vice grip. The wait time for a call light to be answered could be 40+ minutes. My feet would scream at me when I took them off the pillow I propped them up on at night because even resting them on my mattress was painful. My neck and back are fucked from lifting difficult patients.

I'm not a suicidal person but a few months before put my two weeks in I had started getting this mental image of sitting on the side of my bed and putting the barrel of a handgun in my mouth.

But hey, at least they paid me, unlike the next place I went to that tried to refuse me my first months paychecks so I quit and reported them to Medicare.
 
Window washer when I was 14-15, the worst thing I've ever done for money. First of all, the windows looked clean before I even started but I cleaned them and they looked the same to me. Not a half-assed cleaning either, I was not a seasoned window washer but I put more effort into it than I do with my own windows and they are not dirty. It took me maybe four hours to clean that building, a small school, by keeping a good pace. Then I found out that it was supposed to take 6 hours and it would look bad if I went home or just hung around doing nothing for the rest of the day.
So I had to start cleaning the same windows, again.

The second day I kept a slow pace and tried to figure out a way to jump ship. So at the end of the day I regrettably informed my employers that something had come up and that tomorrow I was moving to a place some 1000km away so I wouldn't come back. I got paid in full for the two days though, a total of ~$30 for two days of work. Child labor really doesn't pay (much).
 
I worked at Macy's while I was in school to pay the bills. Hated it. Long hours on your feet for very little pay. Bosses are always on your case and everyone pretends to be a big happy family when in reality they all hate each other. You have to ask permission to go to the bathroom or move an inch away from the desk. Customers are messy, high-maintenance, and when you're not being verbally assaulted by soccer moms then you're getting PHYSICALLY assaulted by ghetto folks that think they're entitled to 90% off just because they walked in the building.

The music is the worst part though. Imagine all the worst most upbeat pop songs of the early 2000's combined with the current garbage on the radio today. And then every day you go in the same 20 songs loop over and over and over...
