You decide my next part-time job.
 
Whatever the majority say will be my next part-time job. I'm tired of finding out "I'm not suited" for jobs months after getting it. Apparantly I can't choose a job I am suited for, so I'm leaving it up to you.

I'm so sick of dealing with asshole customers that I'm "not allowed" to be anything less than pleasant to.

Make a joke, be serious, but I'm still going to go with the majority.

Prostitutes make good money. :D

Sorry, I'm having a hard time finding a job as-well...

I think you should try finding a job that would not require you to deal with anyone. I'm not sure what kind of job that would be though. Have you ever tried being a nurses assistant? I do that and if you enjoy helping elderly or sick kids, its a good job. Whatever you do, good luck.
BTW, nice to see you around!! :)

I also vote for prostitute. Good pay & no one says you have to be nice to anyone.

I'd forget about anything where you had to deal with customers at all. Personally I think customers are 90% of what's wrong with most jobs out there...and the whole "smiling service" shit you're expected to adopt in the majority of these roles is annoying as all fuck...why be fake? I mean clearly, you're at work...it's not like you're having the time of your life.
The best part of my job is that I deal with ZERO customers, and yeah, it's a huge change from having to serve the masses directly.

Suggestions, if you're open to ANY kind of work:
*Pick/packing & assembly line work...you turn up in the morning, do boring and monotonous work, but there's no customers, the pay is decent, and I guess you'd build up the strength in your arms...these kind of jobs are available with very little experience.

*Get a forklift liscence, work in a warehouse and cart shit from one place to another all day. Simple work "take this, go here"...etc. The liscence (at least here) can get you simple jobs in a lot of places.

*Be a cook/chef, or just get any job in any kitchen...just make it clear you don't wanna waitress. Yeah...I'm biased towards this one, but it's all good by me. Probably not quite as easy as the two I mentioned before, and some kind of eventual certification may be desirable.
Suggestion: (not to be racist) I would advise against working for asian owned/operated establishments. In my experience, ANY family member of the bosses could take your job at any time, there's next to NO chance of promotion, and in all honesty if fucking drives me crazy when a bunch of people are talking to eachother in a language you can't underdstand...you feel rather out of place. So yeah, I'd avoid that, and to a lesser extent, south africans. They also tend to very much favour family members for promotion and hiring, even if they're completely incompetent, as I've witnessed before.
The kitchen thing is pretty decent though...but hey, I like cooking and hate customers - works for me.

*Vetinary assistant - yeah, you'd need a vet nurse kinda certification (not that hard), but if you can deal with seeing the occasional operation/death, it's a decent occupation. The customers are out the front, you're out the back.

That's all I can come up with just now.

Whoring ain't really a job though. Actually I guess it's no different then having your own business... ok the two prostitute votes count.

Most of my work experience is waitressing. I think I will not be giving it another shot this time though. I think it's worse because I always work at super fancy/expensive restaurants. More rich assholes who I could go on about for days on why the deserve to die in a fire. Also, I suck at cooking+yeah you pretty much need to have gone to chef school to be a chef around here. I wish I had the "passion for cooking" because I think it's anice job if you do.

Did that at a stupid ass country club with asshole members. I'm leaning towards it though, no country clubs this time around.

Seems that your problem with costumers(as far as I can tell anyway) is that for the most part they've been a bunch of rich assholes in fancy resturants and country clubs. Maybe if only for a last resort you should try to get a position in a less prestigious(for lack of a better word) place.
