asdfghjkl wtf? O_o I'm reminded of the times I worked for Wal-Mart. Chuh. Never doing THAT shit again.

The first time, I worked as a cart pusher. The ONLY cart pusher. FULL TIME. A couple things to keep in mind:

  1. I weighed about 240 pounds when I had this job, so it would have been hard enough on me already.
  2. This Wal-Mart didn't (still doesn't) have one of those automatic things you load the carts on, so I had to do it all myself.
  3. People in this town just would NOT use the cart corrals; they would just leave their carts anywhere. Way too much of my time was spent retrieving loose carts from all around the parking lot. (I lost track of how many times I saw a cart upside down in the far corner of the parking lot.)
  4. I absolutely DREADED my breaks. In just 2 minutes, the carts would build up so much I could barely keep track of them, so you could imagine how hellish it was to come back from my 15-minute breaks, or Ch'ra forbid, my HOUR-LONG LUNCH. During which I couldn't even EAT lunch, since I had no money to buy lunch and no way to bring anything from home. So not only did I have to gather all these loose carts from everyfuckingwhere, bring in dozens of carts at a time by myself, and torture myself after breaks just trying to keep up with demand, I also had to do it all without having had anything to eat. I was just running on belly fat energy, basically. I almost fainted at one point, and if Dad hadn't suddenly picked me up for lunch right then, I probably would have. After six weeks of this torture, I was fired. Why? For not doing my job well enough. HEH-FUCKING-LOOOO?! If I had tried any harder to do my job, they would have had a collapsed-from-exhaustion employee on their hands. I COULDN'T do my job better without risking personal safety/health. Fuckers.

That was the first time I worked at Wal-Mart. The second time, I was a cashier at a different Wal-Mart. (I made sure NOT to put ''cart pusher'' on my application this time. :b ) Things were going well enough, until I told them I had to change my hours. See, this was the problem: I had made a slight-slip up, and accidentally put my possible weekday hours for the weekend on my application. I relied on the bus to get to and from work, and they tried to make me work this really stupid shift, like from 1PM to 9:30PM, on a SUNDAY. In this city, the bus on Sunday only runs till FIVE. I had just put in a request to change my hours a couple days previous, because I had snapped I put funky hours on my application. I put in the request and the manager told me she got it, but then this whole making-me-work-fucked-up-times-on-a-Sunday thing happened. I asked about the request I had put in, and they gave me some bullshit about they couldn't change my hours from there, the request had to go to the scheduling center in Iowa or whatever. But I had GIVEN THEM MY CHANGE REQUEST ALREADY. They should have been more understanding about the fact that I had to ride the bus to and from work, since lots of other employees there did too. So I had to quit. Not only that, but when I quit, they had put in a note to the management that if I wanted to come back, they would take me back, since I was a good worker. But when I went back to go work there again, they said they didn't have any notice about me in their files. So I did the computer kiosk application again, and it was rejected before it even went through.

Assholes. I'll never work at Wal-Mart again. And then when I went to apply at Target afterwards, I made sure to put hours on my application that I could actually work, and wouldn't you fucking know it, my application was REFUSED because the hours I put weren't broad enough! Of course, I wasn't told this until the interview, so I had time to get my hopes up, get psyched, and buy one of those red polo shirts. I sat in the employee lounge for three hours waiting for someone to call me out. Finally, they told me that my application looked good, but they couldn't hire me because I could only work during the day. Yeah, thanks, fuckers. I haven't succeeded in getting an actual job since.

I'm this close ) ( to giving up on getting a regular job at all. Every time I put in an application, I get ignored. How am I supposed to get a job when nobody will even look at my application, or say that I need more experience? I'm trying to GET more experience! That's why I applied in the first place, DUH.

Gah, enough fucking ranting. I'm just gonna get myself pissed off. |: [

Wow, that is a really stupid reason to get fired. You said the place sucked and you had crap on your plate all the time, so if it doesn't end up so well in the end you always have the plus side of never working there again. Maybe you'll find something better in the next couple weeks.
