Where do you work?

[Dog Welder]

And as your user name shows, you read some of the same stuff that I do.

Good luck with your new career path!

Heh heh heh. Bueno.

Would that be Hitman? Hmmmm?

[ArenaBoy]

I work in a parking lot at a sports arena, during the summer I work at two outdoor music theaters that are open during the summer. Three places means money but more SCs.

[Kogarashi]

Primarily general retail, though I've done craft retail, food service, custodial, head-counting, outbound call center, "light industrial work," and freelance illustration/graphic design.

[Rine]

I work for a department store. Also have a small second job: I work at a bar on Fridays (sometimes Saturdays) and for special events. Whoo!

[Jester]

I have never worked retail. I have never worked fast food.

That does not, however, mean, I have not had my share of sucky customers. My experience with SC's is extensive, actually. Drumroll please, Maestro....

--just about 20 years in the restaurant/bar industry, as a cook (for just the first year), a waiter (way too long), a service trainer, and a bartender. I have worked for major chains for the most part, and worked with some of the best AND worst people you could imagine, and also waited on some of the best and worst people imaginable. Most of my SC stories come from this part of my life...not surprising, it being the majority of my work history. And yes, I have some stories about celebrities. Best thing about being a bartender compared to the others.....I can get away with being a smartass a LOT MORE!

--4 years DJing weddings. Yes, I was the Wedding Singer long before Adam Sandler!
--a few months DJing in a "gentleman's club" (i.e., strip bar). Better and worse than you think. Actually thinking about getting back into it do to a current opportunity...not sure, though.
--a year plus DJing in a (I shit you not) clothing optional rooftop bar. One of the more interesting jobs I have ever had, though not as many SC stories as the others.

--6 months in a call center for a major hotel chain. Stupid people take vacations too!

--1 month in telemarketing...for 4 different jobs. Wait, no sucky customers there...sucky jobs!

--and my Favorite Job of All Time: professional magician. From 4 years in a restaurant doing tableside magic to various private parties I have done, some amusing tales. Most of them great, some good, some downright wretched.

All this, despite having just turned 36 (or as I say, 21 for the 16th time), and still occasionally getting carded for drinks! (Today some women at my bar guessed that I was about 27. Ya gotta love it!)

One constant with all those jobs....CUSTOMERS SUCK!

Crappy Tire... for these geniuses

[Discourtesy Clerk]

I'm a grocery store lackey.

[Ezrockspants]

supermarket supervisor... just because my badge says 'supervisor' does not mean i can perform miracles.

[Anakah]

I work in a casino.

[Luna]

New job? Can't say. Actually received a new handbook detailing how you can lose your job for posting about customers, employees, co-workers or the company in any way that reflect poorly on them. Not that I have much to post about anyway b/c I freaking LOVE my job now. But I'd rather not lose it over something so trivial.

I post mostly about my past experiences, that I should probably be going to therapy over since most of them still give me workmares.

[ZumZum]

I am a store manager for a teenage clothing store.

[SuperDan]

I work in a grocery store, although once in a great while I may have a story from my time in my old college's department of instructional technology (they re-named it that from AV when the department moved from control of the library to control of the IT department) as well as my brief time with News America Marketing (the red coupon machines and ads at the ends of shopping carts).

[TequilaSunrise]

Le Target Boutique...17 flippin' years. Where we now sell True Religion for men and women (well, juniors...) at $150 a pop. Folks have been a-complainin' already!
Where O Where are my fellow Targeteers?

[Deceptitech]

Where I work...

I work in a call center for about 70 online stores. I currently take electronics calls... God help us all.

[friendofjimmyk]

I currently work in a call center that mainly handles emergency roadside assistance. There are other departments, but the ERS is the big one here. This is the first call center I've ever worked in. (Well, I don't count the breif stint @ a small call center doing outboud when I was 15 - I got fired after a month for lack of sales.)

I've worked in a parking department and usher department @ an arena. I've worked as a server/bartender for over 10 years (escaped barely alive), I've done household remodeling (my fave job EVER - no SCs, lots of manual labor), I've worked the front desk @ a Bally's Fitness (OH JOY!), I've been a government employee (National Park Service), Sales Coordinator for a Heavy Equipment company, nanny type person, worked for a construction company, ran a snow plow truck, and my first real job @ the age of 14was McD's. Good times.
