At any of your previous jobs, no matter what type (grocery store, office, etc.) where did you draw the line in terms of things you woulnd't do?
Things that you would quit right then and there if asked to do.

Me personally, when I worked at grocery stores, I drew the line at cleaning up vomit. Never had to thankfully.

(Jun 15 06, 09:37)hmm why did I post that. It sounds rather gay.
But that's what blood or vomit used to be called where I worked. Sounds less disgusting to customers I guess. Though not really.

My friend I worked with at a grocery store in high school likes to tell an entirely untrue story about how I "had to chop up a huge turd in the toilet with the end of a plunger so it would flush completely."

A whole bunch of employees had to clean up vomit and pee near/on the McDonald's playplace every once in a while. Thankfully the managers were sexist and decided that the boys/men had to do that plus take the garbage out.

I told the creative director I would no longer cover for the junior designer – essentially correcting production/design errors on business card designs.
When they finally let him go, he posted his pissy little rant all over this forum.

At my first job, my boss (the CD/ VP) asked me to work on some ads that had concepts that were morally offensive to me: basically making a joke out of MLK Jr. in one ad, and shitting on Jesus in the other, all because the client wanted something irreverant.
I went home, came up with some cleaner yet funny ideas, and presented them to my boss. He was impressed, though I think he thought better of the concept at some point since it was never shown to the client. Go figure...
