I spent one of my summers home from college working in a large chain bookstore. This place had a dress code -- no jeans, t-shirts or sneakers. Ties were mandatory for men, and they all hated it. In protest, one Saturday we all came to work wearing the widest, loudest and tackiest ties we could find (my tie was voted the worst because it was labeled "wash and wear").

In high school I worked at a pizza place and had to deal with many rude customers. While I never spat in a pizza I was making for an annoying diner, I occasionally adulterated them with extra-special ingredients like jalapeno juice and the oil from the anchovy cans. The customers were always too drunk to notice.

I should note that these two businesses no longer exist.
