well
I work in a horribly run coffee shop in a large wholesale store, as such, most of the customers we get are utter cnuts. "I run a coffee shop myself, we have better coffee than this", *in head* "then cock off back to your own coffee shop then you tit"

Anyway, i digress into incoherant ramblings of how i despise customers.

Skiving: Very easy where I work. I NEVER clock out for my breaks, these breaks usually last twice as long as they should (as the shop is really understaffed they can never afford to send people to come get me back) only bad part of this being that the store is huge and located on an industrial estate so there's nowhere to go.

Ummm... also in the evenings, there's usually 2 staff members on at the very most. When i started, i was with a guy the same age as me (18) so we just took it in turns to skive. We discovered that it's very nice to sit in the chiller for an hour or so eating anything you find in there and drinking whatever hasn't been put out for the customers. During these chiller sessions, the other person would work as normal, though on one evening, the big boss of all the chain of stores came to see the coffee shop while i was in the chiller, he was told i was out getting some packs of crisps or something for the customers, after a while when we'd switched around i told him the other guy was on the toilet, he was none the wiser.

We also spent time devising the stupidest contests / dares ever to kill the 4 hours we were stuck there. Some notable ones included: the raw egg eating challenge (caused me to throw up) the chilli powder snorting game, throwing pepper in eachother's faces untill one chickened out, freezing amusingly shaped blocks of ice, drinking the runoff from all the drinks machines combined and of course the ever classic "who can drink a huge slush puppie the fastest without collapsing into a crumpled heap"

That last one hurts.
