The worst job from a satisfaction perspective has to be retail sales

I mentioned working for sears above, I didn't mention that the first sears I worked at was in Vancouver WA and there were no customers. I worked in the TV department and nobody would buy tv's there since a 10 min drive would give you a TV with no sales tax. It was the worst job I ever did. We were all on permanent draw, so even if we ever did sell something, we got no commision for it.

I transfered back to CA (hayward) and instantly was making 19+$/hr average (Versus $6 in Vancouver). That is where I got scalped by Sam Goody as a manager etc.

I worked fast food (Carl's Jnr) graveyard, and tons of other jobs, but the worst was that safeway. You literally just stood there all day waiting for a customer, it was hell for me.

I have some weird condition, which was much worse when I was younger, that requires me to be constantly active. I always had a book with me even when eating out etc. I SHOULD have brought a book or portable game to that sears but I never thought of it (didn't think you could do that while working). Now adays it's common for people to use devices etc at work, but this was over 20 years ago and it just wasn't done.

God I hated that job. When I transfered to Hayward I was so happy to have things to do/people to help lol.
