I heard about a girl who had a job interview at a bakery. As she was answering questions, a huge cake in the display behind her suddenly fell over. Everyone froze for a second and then burst out laughing. But she was so calm and made a joke about it, and she got the job. Well, she later found out it was a little 'test' by the owner to see how she'd react in unexpected situations.

Well, my friend was applying for a job at a tech startup. He thought the interview was via video call and was sitting at home in his pajamas.

He had to quickly put on a blazer over his pajamas and pretend like everything was normal. It was hilarious how he tried to act professional while secretly being in his PJs.

One of the horror stories in retail jobs is having to work in a really cold or hot environment. I worked in a store where the air conditioning was broken during the summer and it was sweltering. We still had to serve customers as normal. Also, there can be problems with product quality. I had to deal with customers complaining about defective products that the store had received from the supplier. And the lack of security in some stores can be a problem. There were times when we felt unsafe at work because of no proper security measures.
