Hey.. I'm Llythe, a complete newbie to the site (first post!) 
and after reading through a lot of the stories on here, have been trying to find out what I should use as my first post. So far, I've done my time in the fast food industry, did maintenance at a golf course, spent a month as a grocery store clerk, worked for a small locally owned retail store, cleaned an elementary school, worked at a movie theatre and now I work double jobs - one with kids and one with the ever-retarded public. I've definitely seen my share of SCs.
Four years ago, at the ripe age of 16, my first "real" job was at BK. I actually had a lot of fun working there, but wow, the sucky customers...
One night I was working as the main cashier for the front end, so I was technically in charge of cleaning the bathrooms, the dining room, etc. Usually I could sweet-talk my way out of doing some of it, by bargaining with the manager or the late night maintenance person, but there was no getting out of this particular situation:
A coffee-senior (we used to get regulars who would come in every night at the same time to sit and drink coffee together) alerted me that there was a nasty mess in the men's washroom. Keep in mind I was the only female staff member working at that time, but yet it was still my job to go in there and check it out. Now, as many of you know, men's washrooms, especially in fast food joints, are horrendous. Worse than horrendous. They're (insert disgusting-adjective here) x infinity. Ours were particularly bad, since we only had two urinals and one toilet in the men's washroom. Usually I go in there to clean at night to find the walls covered with urine (some people don't even bother aiming in the urinals, they'll pee right on the walls), feces left in the toilet, etc. Normally I can just hold my breath and work as fast as I possibly can, but not this time. This time, I was heading into uncharted territory.
I walked in to the bathroom and was immediately met with the stench of an unflushed toilet. Yea, you know the smell. I went and checked out the toilet and what did I find?
A green trucker's hat - the kind with the foam front and the mesh back that were all the fashion rage 4 years ago - and a plastic grocery bag. In the toilet. Submersed.. in water, likely urine, and sh!t. Obviously it wouldn't flush - the only solution was to pull out the obstructing objects with rubber-gloved hands, and shower profusely when I got home at the end of my shift. I'm still not sure how the hat and the bag ended up in the toilet, though.. we weren't on any major trucking routes, so it's not like he just "couldn't hold it" in his truck and had to dump it in our toilet, and I'm pretty sure someone walking through the dining room with a bag of runny sh!t would be noticed right away...
My manager and the maintenance person couldn't stop laughing. They both were a bit more willing to help me out with cleaning after that, though.
When I was working at the movie theatre, I encountered another gross washroom-related story that thankfully I didn't have to deal with. Apparently, someone went into the women's washroom and sh!t on the floor. Right in front of the toilet. I don't.. quite understand how this could have happened, but luckily I didn't have to deal with it at all, the poor manager had to clean it up because the young girls working as ushers at the time were too girly and grossed out to even consider cleaning it up.
Unflushed toilets and toilet paper on the floors I can understand. Even a little "Oops, I missed" is understandable in some cases, but really.. seriously.. how does this happen!?
