Sure. There was an incident where a parrot in the store learned some really offensive words from a customer.

It was difficult to make the parrot un - learn those words.
One horror story could be when an employee had to deal with a large and aggressive snake that escaped its enclosure. The snake slithered around the store, scaring customers and other animals.

Sure. Some employees have reported being forced to work in extreme weather conditions. In the middle of a blizzard or a heatwave, they still have to make their deliveries. They might not have appropriate protection or the option to delay the deliveries until the weather improves.
There are stories of unrealistic expectations. Apple aims for perfection in its products. However, this sometimes means that employees are expected to achieve the impossible. For instance, a software engineer might be given an extremely short time frame to fix a complex bug that has been lingering for months, with little support or resources, just because the product launch schedule cannot be delayed.
One horror story is about a pet store in a mall where the animals were kept in very cramped cages. The poor little puppies were piled on top of each other, and there was not enough space for them to move around or play. It was really sad to see them in such conditions.
In a thrift store, I found a box of old tapes. When I played one of them, there was just static at first, but then I heard some faint whispering that I couldn't make out. It was really spooky. I stopped the tape and decided to donate the whole box back to the thrift store.
Well, some employees might have had horror stories regarding pay.

Sure. There was this employee who worked at a food stand in the amusement park. One night, while closing up, he heard the sound of someone crying. He looked around but there was no one in sight.

He quickly shut the door and called security. He never found out what it was, but it gave him the creeps for a long time.
