Recently I've been on winter break from college, and as I was in need of some quick cash I signed up as a temp worker at Costco handing out samples. The actual job was easy, but just today, the heartless bitch of the event manager told me yesterday was my last shift, but the funniest part is that her reasoning was over the dumbest shit ever. She mentioned that I had been caught twice wearing ONE earbud and listening to music. I'm sorry, but this job is mind-numbingly boring and music makes the day more tolerable, especially since my legs hurt from standing all day on concrete for hours on end. There should not be any reason why I cannot discreetly use an earbud if I am doing the job correctly anyway. She also mentioned that I wasn't using tongs to prepare the samples, which is the dumbest fucking thing ever, since it makes no difference from just using your gloved hand which is more efficient anyway. Luckily I did not need money too badly, since I'm with my parents right now, but if this has been someone who really needed this job, they'd be screwed badly since I am in a pretty expensive part of the country, just goes to show how heartless some of these power-tripping managers can be without any regard to the financial well-being of other people.
