This is a question Child Labour

There 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?

No...the shop. Honest, not me.
Went there for work experience in Year 10. For 2 weeks. In Brixton (if you know what that's like, feel sorry for me, I have to live here). Funnily enough it closed not long after I left...
Well, for the first week, I was constantly shoved into the back room with crates of CDs/DVDs/videos to order onto shelves. Then put them on the shelves in the store. The manager didn't like me. No one except one security guard liked me. The public abused me and insulted me. On a daily basis. But I was full of work ethic and did my job.
As they say, shit rolls downhill so I was stuck with all the crap.
Come the second week, I'd had enough, why it took me so long I don't know. So I just said I'd go to sort out stock and went in the darkish room for a nap or to read the backs of films and see which ones I was gonna watch (not steal, honest). And since I couldn't get fired I generally gave every single customer that came up to me a verbal lashing.
That said I got to see 28 Days Later a week before it came onto DVD.
There was no point to that story at all.
Oh and the deputy manageress had a nice arse.
Edit: was paid NOTHING
