What Was Your Worst Summer Job? (Sponsored)

Awful bosses, bad pay and horrifying uniforms are just a few things that can make a summer job really terrible. Sponsored by "Grown Ups 2."

We all know how sweet life is when you find the perfect summer job with decent hours and demanding but reasonable work. Whether you're cashiering or waiting tables for your summer gig, life's even better when you have an awesome boss who gives you decent hours—which means more time at the beach! You're in a great mood and you're happy to please customers, which means big tips—or at least a better way to spend eight hours a day. 

And then there are the awful bosses, who can make your summer a nightmare. You know the kind—you ask for a day off and he puts you on the schedule to work, or inevitably asks you stay late and shut down on slow nights.

We all have at least one terrible experience in our employment histories. What’s the worst summer job you’ve ever had? Share your thoughts by posting a comment below.
