Child LabourThere is a special part of Hell I'd like to reserve for those arses that order every single Sunday paper. Do you know how heavy that makes the bundle of papers some poor kid (ie me) has to lug around? Funny how your papers always seemed to get mangled in your letterbox...
I loved my paper round, but, looking back, I was getting paid peanuts to ruin my back and cycle around in the cold and dark. How were you exploited as a child?

McSlave labourI'm sure there are going to be hundreds of micky d's stories but here's my tuppence worth.
Not sure who I pissed of whilst I was working there but I found myself inexplicably stuck on the "walker's run" for the best part of a year.
Walker's was the compnay that delivered everything to the store (Buns, patties, fries etc..) It involved getting to work at 4am finding that the bastards from the previous day hadn't rotated the stock in the freezer and spending the next 3 hours lugging boxes in -21c temperatures.
When you finally emerged you'd find that your eyeballs had half frozen and you couldn't focus on anything. You'd also have to then work the breakfast grill for another 4 1/2 hours all for just $5 an hour.
