I think for me my worst job would be my very first one. It was in a tobacconist/barbers run by Greeks and frequented by the same. They all talked in that language and I didn't so made things very hard. Needless to say I didn't last long.

I worked for McDonalds too. Customer abuse was very common but management also treated staff very poorly.

It was my first job working in a fish and chip shop. I didn’t mind the job but in Summer it was very uncomfortable standing at the fryers and I have several burn marks from exploding scallops (fish variety)

It is the best job I have ever had but also the worse,, Nursing, I have been vomited on, weeded on , bled on, pooed on, been bitten, scratched, punched and abused. . Yet I would do it all over again, as there is nothing more rewarding in life then the feeling of having helped others. ( apart of course having my children. )

Unloading frozen fish from a large semi-trailer, it was back breaking work, there were thousands of them..

Thanks god I was not employed by McDonlads when I started. Yes that would have mentally challenged me.

Probably McDonald’s. I started there when I was only 14 and quit after about 7 years. I’ve had several jobs since then but have never been abused by customers so bad and so often as when I worked there. To this day it amazes me that adults would hurl such abuse at a high school student just because their $2 cheeseburger wasn’t to their liking.

I couldnt say that Ive had any bad jobs in my life but the most challenging one would be working for infringements and dealing with irate and complaining customers all day. Literally have to be mentally ready to start my day.
