This is a question Jobsworths

All over the world there are little people following the rules and being arsey because, let's face it, it's fun.

Tell us about your experiences with petty jobsworths, or, if you are a petty jobsworth, tell us how much you get off on it.

I'm a student and as a rule we generally
get paid fcuk all. I've got a job at
scummerfield where I work as a kiosk girl (which type of cancer would you like?) But the under 18's get paid (if its possible) an even more appalling wage, and have to sit on checkouts (that don't tend to work very often). Everything is more than their jobsworth, and as a kiosk person I'm responsible for them, so if they get shitty I have to deal with them. My favourite checkoutters would be:
(1) The girl who pretends to be dumb so she doesn't have to talk to customers. She generally grunts at them.
(2) The cow who buzzes the kiosk, asks you to walk down to her, then when you get to her checkout, says 'Oh, I thought you needed the exercise'
(3) The golden oldie's who are there for post retirement cash.One in particular takes great pleasure in converting modern currency to old day shillings. It confuses all the customers, and they come up and complain about the cashier giving them 'old coins'.
and finally (4) The *i'm too good for this place* bint. She's 16 and daddy made her get a weekend job, which she believes to be far beneath her. She asks for gloves when handling change because of the *bacteria*, she refuses to sit on the checkout seats because they *look dirty* (so we put a bag over it, classy) and finally, the best, she has before commented if people buy the *value* goods (9p lemonade etc) about how she would hate to be that poor. She got lamped with a sunday newspaper once (they're heavy!), so she doesnt do that anymore.

I'm female so I can't comment on girth. But if I was male the length I'd be impressed with.
