I said get the train its cheaper, he looked puzzled and asked for the manager apparently he asked for Warsaw the way he said it sounded like warsal! The manager told me to go home he said you cant spell you don't listen! if I dint listen how come I went home.

Pea Pod

I worked on a poxy burger van for 2 days she told me not to go back because I was too friendly with the customers.

he probably got it wrong himself and did say 'warsal' but realised when you said get the train that he'd made the mistake and was covering his tracks!!

I worked in Cooper's Magic Shop and I lasted one day.

It was working in the fancy dress department and my job was to repair any broken outfits and steam clean them when they were returned. I was couped up in this tiny, hot little room at the back of the shop and nobody even had the decency to show me the ropes properly. I was completely lost! I did manage to finish the working day though. Then I never returned.

I don't think I even picked up my pay!!

I'm very prone to walking out on jobs I don't like. :o}

I had a day and a half where I lasted at cold calling for a conference thing where they had told me it was an inbound job. I felt about as good as a parking attendant so flicked the boss a V as I storemed out. Never again

Hellion

I once worked as a fireaters assitant to a man who had travelled from Paris to London in a coffin filled with broken glass. He wanted to do it again with two people in the coffin namely me, but I'm claustrophobic so that was the end of the job!
He died a year or so later of complications following eating glass.
