Downsides of Your Job.

1. people bitching
2. people asking to speak to an "adult" (i can guarantee i have met kids more mature than they are)
3. people who refuse to sign in and then bitch about how long everything is taking (and they wonder why people who came after them are leaving before them)

People not believing that I am the Restaurant Manager. And getting completely covered in grease.

Well, I have two jobs. One is in a restaurant, the other is at a bike rental.

At the restaurant, I guess the biggest downside is my lack of knowledge. I'm a hostess, so I don't know much about the food. When people ask me about food, I usually have to say "I'll ask your server" and then I'll have to track them down. Also, we have a rule that no one besides the manager deals with cash, other than 2 very experienced servers who have permission. So, even though I'm at the front desk, people can't pay me. I have to tell them that I can't handle money and I have to get the manager. I feel like it kinda makes me look like I don't know what I'm doing, even though that's the rule.

Downsides from the bike rental mostly have to do with dirt and heat, plus large foreign families who come to rent bikes and can barely understand English. I know it's not their fault, but it's pretty difficult to figure out what kind of bikes 15 people who don't speak English (and usually can't make up their minds) want. And when bikes get stolen, that's a hassle, cause the customers never want to pay for the bikes, even though they signed a release form promising that they would.

I guess a problem from both places would be that I'm on my feet all day, and I often have double shifts, so my feet are constantly sore. (Like right now, for example.)

Now, where is the "favorite things about your job" thread? Cause this makes me sound like I absolutely hate both of my jobs. Haha.

at my real estate office i help out at now and thennnnnnn

quiet, w/o music. its scary. and lonely :(

my sister works at kohls and says often how several customers are just rude and horrible- and return things after they've worn them and gotten them dirty. and no one puts things away on the hangers right [i find that kinda funny, actually,bu tyeah...]

The books are too cheap and I'm going to spend all my money there.

D:

If we don't have their medication ready or in stock, customers can be extremely grumpy cause they aint feeling very well - deffo a downside

It's boring office work.
And when I screw something up I feel like a total amateur.

Obnoxious customers have to be the worst.
And drive-through. I loathe the man that invented drive-through. And if a woman invented it, what was she thinking? Did she not realise that when a car parks 3 feet from the window, and you lean out to pass them their drink, it's like OMG CLEAVAGE!
I can't stand some of the men that come into work either (I work at Starbucks). Some of them are openly flirtatious..and they're 30 or something. *vomit*

K I work at Mc Donalds. Part time of course tee hee. and there are pretty mcuh only 2 downsides.
1. The fry hop. (This puts the fries in a basket automatically and it is always covered in an inch of grease and uncooked fries and god knows what else.) Someone has to clean it every night. And it gets dirty really fast so its always gross.
2. really rude or pervy customers. A really gross old guy slid a toonie across the counter, winked at me and said he would be back later but not for the food! I nearly threw up he was like a total hick.

I'd rather be in school than at work.

I'm such a screw up, not to mention. I really suck at it sometimes - like recommending medicine and really dopey questions I just go blank and have to disappear and harass the pharmacist. Not to mention, I find it really tricky to work with some of the people in there. There's one woman who I swear I has a massive grudge against me because I got the job when her daughter wanted it. It's ridiculous, because there wasn't even any competition - her daughter was simply too young for it. And there's this other woman whose son I took over from when he left for uni. She's nice, but I can she's comparing me to her son and I know full well that she thinks I'm a total failure.

I have real trouble with doors and locks. I don't even know why, it's just one of those things - like when you don't know your lefts and rights. But anyway, she had left me to lock up the shop and because I couldn't lock it in time, the alarm didn't set and we had to leave the shop 'unprotected'. I managed to lock it, but the staff told my mum they 'weren't impressed'.

I feel like such an amatuer there, I really do. I hate it.

I work as a substitute elementary school crossing guard, The only downsides I can think of are that as a sub, You can be called in for work at anytime, So you always have to be on your toes and near the phone, And also it makes you want to have kids earlier, But I guess that could be a upside and a downside.

I got hit in the head with a playstation controller today!! Crazy-ass Black Friday people

I clean up after grown ass adults who don't know how to keep their rooms clean.
I smell some of the weirdest and nastiest crap ever. Some of these rooms smell like dirty rotten feet that have trampled through crap.

About 95% of the customers I serve. I work in the deli at a local grocery store and there are just some rude people out there. And I swear, I get this one guy, every time he comes in, he asks for a pound of white american cheese (which I'd have to slice) and then when I hand it to him he tells me he asked for yellow. And to be completely honest, the whole white/yellow american cheese this is just mind game. There is no difference besides food coloring.

I work as a people greeter at Wal-Mart.
1- MAJOR downside... hair color policies. I refuse to dye my hair a natural color, therefore I must wear expensive and itchy realistic wigs for 6-8 hours a day. I also have to take facial piercings out during my shift.
2- Lame attendance policy, I live out in the country and we have terrible winters and my car sucks on ice and snow... so I get stuck and miss work in the winter. I hope I don't get fired because of it soon.
3- Boredom. I like to stay busy but I'm not allowed to leave my little mat by the door.

Mandatory overtime can be a downside.
But even that downside hs it's upside. (Time and a half.)

I have two jobs.
Teaching skiing
and
working as a server at this little cafe.

Cons of teaching skiing: After a long day, my back, knees, feet, and shoulders start to hurt really bad. Especially if a lot of little kids have lessons. But I love it none the less.

Cons of being a server - It's really not to horrid, just the times...I usually have to get up at 6am. I hate waking up early. The customers aren't actually that bad most of them are nice. I don't always get a break. Which sucks.
I think that's all my complaining.

My temporary job is a call in job so they call me at 6:30 in the morning when they need me to come in. It really sucks considering I'm not a morning person.

Rude or creepy customers are the biggest downside for me. I get really nervous around people and I can never say what I think when customers start yelling at me.

Rank: Lower ranking (Like myself) means I get a lot of BS and disrespect from people higher ranking (some of which don't deserve their rank)
BS jobs: I'm in the Navy, I didn't sign up to clean up barracks rooms after other grown ass adults, but I have to do it, and I hate it...
Drama: Military is like being paid to go back to high school. A lot of pointless drama.
Don't even get me started on stupid people who shouldn't be in the military... =/
Weird hours: We stand watches, and the hours are fucked up. There's days we'll work from 7 am till about 3 pm. Stand watch from 3 pm till 11 pm, get up at 6 am to pick up garbage, go to muster and get the next day off (The only plus side to the command I work with right now. Day off after duty) Or we'll work from 7-3, get some time to sleep, and stand watch from 11 pm till 7 am (Which I'm currently doing right now) And the watch I'm standing: Completely pointless. I'm supposed to redirect people to go across the street to the new building, but nobody comes, and if the phone rings, I'm supposed to say "It's this number now"....the kicker: The phone isn't plugged in....
