Kobe Bryant came into the Barnes and Noble store that I work at in Orange County. He was just there to pick up some gifts and was trying to keep a low profile. When he walked in, the lady who I was helping got really excited, looked at me, and said, “Look over there, it’s Michael Jordan!”
In my first year of college I worked at Abercrombie and Fitch (kids) store. It was a pretty boring job. Folding clothes, setting up new sets of clothes, saying the crappy tag line, checking out and changing rooms. One day I had to work the changing rooms. I see three girls who are like 12 years old and a botox mom with them all carrying lots of victoria secret bags. (Why 12 year olds need to buy lots of stuff from victoria secret I do not know…) So this girl grabs probably 15 items and I told her she couldn’t take all the items in the changing rooms. She starts getting hissy and calls her mom over saying how I wouldn’t let her in the changing room. I had to explain to her mom why 15 items weren’t allowed because you can only take 5 items of clothing into a changing room. Her mom tells her to give me the clothes she doesn’t want to take into the changing room. Well the girl starts throwing the clothes at me! When she finished throwing the clothes at me. I asked her, “Is there anything else I can help you with little princess!” Her mom asked for the manager and complained about me. My manager took me to the back room. Right when we entered he busted out laughing. He said that was some funny shit you said but don’t ever do that again. My manager told me to just stay in the back room till they left and do nothing.

I was in the office relaxing in a chair. I leaned my head back and thought to myself, “Wow, what a comfy headrest.” Then I realized, that chair didn’t have a headrest. I had been leaning head against my cute co-worker’s ass for 2 minutes and she never said a thing.

Today, I had to call the Australian Passport office to track my passport. Turns out they lost it in the mail. A week ago, I got my dream job as a flight attendant. Without a passport they won’t accept me. I lost my dream job before I even started it.

The Department of Human Resources has uncovered something horrible.
“I’ve just spent 25 minutes locked in a basement, having to call a friend to look up my boss in the phonebook to get him come get me out, have got yelled at by a 80 year old dude foaming at the mouth, with said foam flying out at my face, had a 60 year old woman show me her bare, 1 hour fresh scarred chest to explain that she can’t shower because she just had surgery done (I work in a hotel opposite a hospital), and got electrocuted. It’s my first day.”

How bad could your day have really been?
“I make grocery store ads. Every now and then we do special deals and I send out an email to the clients asking if they want to participate. Every time I do this almost half the clients print my email, circle their answer (“yes” or “no”), and fax it back to me. The other half email back “ok”.”
“I work in a drugstore. One day this guy in his twenties comes in, picks up some normal male condoms, and comes to the counter. He said, “Don’t worry, these are for my girlfriend.”
“I edit porn for a living. Checkmate.”
“I work in a sneaker store. This huge fat guy comes in with huge feet at least size 12. He then points out different sneakers and asks for them all in size 7, and proceeds to try them all on. Try explaining 50 brand new shoes with squashed heels and torn laces to your boss.”
“This creepy old lady says to me at the grocery store I work at, “hey, cutie, keeping all the girls happy?” I don’t respond out of shock and she jumps to the conclusion, “or all the boys?”. I quickly respond no and ask if there’s anything I can get her. She replies, “you.” This is nearly a daily interaction with her for me and several other guys that work at the store.”
“i started working at byerly’s a few weeks ago. my manager thinks i look like Justin Bieber so he insitsts on telling every customer “you know we’ve got Justin Bieber working here”…every time a customer tells me I look like him [Bieber] i die a little inside.”
“So here I am serving customers at KFC and this woman asks: “How many pieces of chicken do I get in a 21 piece pack?” When I tell her its 21 she then asks: “How much is the 9 pieces for $9.95” So I just walk away because I can’t.”
