Worst Job


For me, it didn't get any worse than a customer service representative position at Domino's Pizza. My best friend and I met there in the summer of 2005. I was 19-20 years old. We had a great time getting to know each other there and laughing about every little thing.

There were a few perks to the job. We were allowed to create our own little pizzas, have breaks, phone calls, and leniency as far as prompt arrival to work. It seemed the worst because of the way all of the workers were treated at times by some of the customers and the general manager. Sometimes we were yelled at, cursed out, thought to be stupid, called liars by the callers. Then, our manager talked to us like we were less than others when he was upset with us or we screwed something up. It was like a twisted family, like he's an uncle taking care of two sisters. We had to argue over our hours to make sure they were accurate, just a mess. It was easy to tell that we were overqualified.

  1. I felt the same way when I worked at Starbucks. I loved my coworkers and the free frapuccinos, but the customers were the worst!
