And just a piece of information to throw out there. Never contact the Internet department at a dealership.
 
Whoah you going for a record! I did orientation week and one full week at UPS before I hit the eject button. I showed up like two weeks later asking for mycheck.

Why do you say to not contact the internet dept?

I'm currently working at Staples, leaving at the end of the month to go back to school.
But what did you do and why did you leave?
 
I think I worked at the Shoppete (which is basically the Military on post corner store/mini mart for about 8 days). I told them already that I had school so Iwas going to need my schedule made around that, turned in my schedule of classes the day of the interview, and they kept giving me the garbage-est hours.There's like a +15% differential on certain time periods like the graveyard shift but still, I'm not about to work from 9pm to 6am period, much less onschool days. So on the day I quit, I showed up on time like I was going to work but I wasn't dressed to do so, just had on shorts and forces, and she waslooking all puzzled then I waited until she started to say something to me so I could interrupt her like, "Yea I quit, here's a letter" and threwit at her. It's paper so it just slowly glided to the ground, but I still thought it was hilarious. Then I bought a soda on the way out and she had to comeout of the back and ring me up and was mugging me

Oh and I've quit a job after getting it at the interview, but that doesn't count since I guess i never worked there. They be like, "Welcome aboardDon, we look forward to having you as a part of our company family," then I told him, "Oh by the way, I'm going to need Tuesdays and Thursdaysoff, and can only work 4 hours a day. And I can't start next Monday, how bout the one after that? I'm in church league..." he looked at me aboutto reject me, "You know what, I agree, I'm probably not a good fit here. Thanx"

2 hours at UPS... Went on my 15 minute break and hit the parking lot. I was out



1 day at McDonalds. Got fired for stealing cheeseburgers
 
3 weeks at Macaroni Grill about 3 years ago.

On my third week of training, I saw this girl who was friend's with a girl that we ran a train on - and it got awkward from there.

#$*$ was awkward as hell and I never went back, I never got paid too
