    Chambermaiding when I was 16. I thought I was great earning £3.50 an hour, but I only stuck it 10 weeks!They gave me about 13 rooms to do in 7 hours, including about 4 family beds with 4 or 5 beds in each!

    People left the rooms in a right state too- cum stains on the sheets, shitty toilets, hairs in the bath and my personal favourite, toothpaste stuck to the sink.

    Yak!

    I worked in a supermarket (Safeway) for 4 years and I really enjoyed it, but then I was working on the tills and then the kiosk. It wasnt a big shop, so I got to know the staff and the locals really well. Made some really good mates there (and a few boyfriends!!)

    Seriously mate.. sometimes they are canny but the amount of times I heard them talking about customers and saying stuff like "I don't give a shit" and other stuff in their own language was insane.

    Had one bloke had to be dragged away by the police they aggrivated him that much.

    In fairness in some cases they had a point and the customer had done wrong.. but if an ex staff member won't do business there then it speaks volumes.

    Not to mention the Zyann.com thing.. they launched a website called Zyaan which they started advertising around the south then eventually up here..

    They sold the same stock as orbit but at a much cheaper price.. ppl were gettin ripped off using the orbit site..

    I do majority of my business with www.overclockers.co.uk.
    The board over there provides loads of support and I've never ever had to RMA any stuff I've bought from there. Plus they only stock the best gear.. not like orbit who constantly get stuff from the likes of Sparkle and EPOS.

    Doesn't suprise me.. the wages are terrible.. they talk about you behind your back in their own language.. etc..

    The first few months were ok... but then I slowly realised they were a bunch of twats.. only a few of them I actually like in there and they've all left now..

    I can't really deny it! I went out with a customer, a check out boy, two trolley boys, and got a love letter off another trolley boy!:p

    kwik save when i was about 16. £2.53 per hour. was like slave labour, had to get a massive palette (the air jack ones you have to pump up) out and round the shop within about 1 1/2 hours. and normally they were packed full of tinned stuff. it was like a nazi inspection everytime the manager came round. he was a right prick. if there was a can of beans with the lable not facing forward you would get a bollocking. worst job ive had by far... but then again i start nissan soon :D

    Love is not a laughing matter :p

    I think it was my sexy uniform that did it. Shapeless, just below the knee, cream with brown and green stripes in that itchy sweaty material


    No wonder i was dying to take it off :lol:

    Working at Mark1, shit wages, scary-haired midget for a boss who stunk of smoke and had Lucozade teeth! It was the worst job by far! I used to hide in the shoe cuboard away from the customers.
