Sainsbury's, home of the flies.To date the worst job I've had was temping at Sainsbury's. In hour 7 of the 8 hour day we were told to restock the petcare aisle.
With my back hurting from working 5 hours in the chiller (cold, stinky, do not work there) I went to stack tins of Sainsbury's dog food. When I removed them from the pack I discovered that one of the tins had leaked, attracting a large assortment of flies that had died when they were all shrink-wrapped with the dog food.
The next day I phoned the temp agency and lied about my back. I said I was in agony on the sofa with lots of pills when I was really just playing Counter Strike.

Back in highschoolOur city (London...the Canadian one) changed their logo. The old one had bears on it, and I'm pretty sure our city is bear free. Well, my job was to hang out where they parked all the garbage trucks and remove all the old decals and replace them with the new ones. It doesn't sound too bad, but the smell of glue and garbage eventually gets to you. I made $6.85 Canadian/hour. I also spent my lunch hours reading porn leftbehind by the garbage men, and let me tell you they have the best taste in erotica.

Are you kidding?I used to work in one of the chillers at my local Sainsbury's. I was hired to sort the daily deliveries, which basically meant hiding in there all day.
Twas great, nice and cool - very few people to piss me off and, best of all, no customers!
Unfortunately they brought in some "top managers" (my arse they were) to reorganise the department and they decided that I wasn't needed in there and would be better use out on the shop floor. Unfortunately they were right about my not being needed in the fridge, but ho hum.
