So, adding to my list, after seeing some of the aspects of other shitty jobs:

-Asshole customers. I have to deal with them on the personal level, which I like with normal, non-doucheile types. However, about every half-hour or so, a customer comes in that insists that I'm breaking their eggs by putting another carton of eggs and a loaf of bread on top of them. My manager pulled me into his office the other day. His sister, whose groceries I bagged, complained because I smashed her meat. Yes, I said meat. HOW IN THE FUCK CAN YOU SMASH MEAT??? I still wonder. To add to it, that particular woman likes to come in early on Sunday morning (around 7:30-8:00) and buy upwards of $300 worth of groceries and make me use paper bags. If any of you have bagged groceries before, you would know that using paper is much harder than plastic. I had to use two buggies to take her shit to her car.

-Hours of operation. 6:00 AM-12:00 AM. Longer than anybody in town. People come in at 5:45 to wait so they can get their week's worth of groceries as soon as the store opens.

-Public perception. Because of my co-workers, the general public assumes that I have jackalope shit for brains. They don't even bother to attempt to engage me in any intelligent conversation, instead they treat me like a drone, despite my 140 IQ.

-Watching what people buy. Sometimes it's just funny, like the woman who bought $230 worth of cigarettes, or the one who bought 7 pounds of bacon and a dozen pouches of Red Man. I'm talking about the stuff that makes me want to kill people. People that come in and buy nothing but name brand cereal and pop and pay with foodstamps. People who buy fillet mingon and ribs with foodstamps. The woman I refer to as "Durango Bitch" who has two young toddlers and a 3 or 4 month old. Each one of them has a 20 oz. bottle of Gatorade each time I see them (can you say tooth decay???). She buys about $250 worth of junk food and then makes me load it into the back of her Durango (which is about a 1 1/2' x 5' space).
