Jasons Deli - another Punk ass CAC, said he'd bring me in as a manager, but put me on the serving line! Went to lunch, ate some free shit then bounced on they ass!

Worked 2 days at O'charleys when I was in high school. They started me on a saturday, 5 till close, washing dishes. Worked hard as hell that night with NO help. The next night was even busier. Man them servers and kitchen staff were bringing back all them damn dishes and containers of half eaten stinky ass food...piled high! It was 1 AM on a sunday night and I had to go to school the next day and these mf's still didn't try to help me in the kitchen. I took my apron off, dipped out the back door and walked 3 miles back to the crib in the middle of the night.

you talking about up in Kennesaw?
Ya'll don't know real hard work...
When I was 16 during the summer break all my friends were gone all day working on farms way out of town.
You went to a bus terminal and they picked you up with big school buses and dropped you at the farm for the day.
I decided to go check it out, went there first day, got picked to go uproot bad seeds.
Man that shyt was pure slavery, the rows were like over half a mile long and we had to remain crouched down all the way, my back was killing me after 30 min.
The worst was this old Haitian man straight from the boat, all of us were young except him so we all talked and decided to go at the same pace, eaaasy
The white man kept lording over us but he could not say shit because we were all going the same pace, that old fool would not listen and he kept going fast, so fast that by the time we reached halfway he was on his was back another row
We tried to threaten him but to no availhe was so happy to have a job.
I quit after the lunch break, went to a big rock and slept until the bus came back to pick us up.

I thought the only mountains we had round these parts was Stone Mountain. Shit looked like I was reaching past Rome or something. At the time I was just happy to get a job but I realized I didn't have enough cash for gas or the bus to take me until I got a check.
I kinda wish I could find a warehouse job but I know no one would hire me.
Damn man...my pride always kicked in...I would get the best of a job before it got me...and I've worked some shitty jobs as an adult...UPS...brick masonry...fuckin delivering newspapers out the trunk...I think the shortest stay @ a job was driving taxi...I quit that shit after a week...too dangerous and the pay wasn't worth it
This warehouse distribution center gig I got through the student services during college. Basically it was straight loading 18 wheelers all day by hand. Dudes that have worked at UPS think they have it bad, try working at one of Wal Mart's distribution centers during holiday season. And I don't just mean Christmas either, I mean ANY holiday. They have one person running 3 lanes loading 3 trucks at once and that freight is moving crazy fast.
On top of that they had shit that clearly said "team lift" on the box that you were supposed to have help with that you had to lift yourself otherwise you'd get behind. Nigga, lawn mowers, car batteries, patio sets...you have to be a MAN to do that shit in the summer time when those trailers are 120 degrees on the inside. FUCK THAT..that shit there made me realize how important it was to graduate.

I came in here thinking this has never happened to me but I now remember I too quit telemarketing after one day...
While I didn't quit after one day, I've personally seen UPS claim a few niggas on day one easy.
Taking it back, selling encyclopedias shit lasted two days, don't know what took me so long to quit
I was in between jobs about 5 years ago and I did training for a supervisor position at a call center for 5 weeks, nothing I've ever done before, and the very day we hit the floor and I saw how the calls came in and how you end up on the phone for long periods of time with customers, I went to lunch and never went back. They kept calling and calling for me to come back asking what was wrong, and I never would go back. I sent a friend of mine to go pick up my check.
And to this day, when I call in to places and I know it's a call center per se, I try to be very nice, because I know that job is no joke.
