One of my first bosses held a staff meeting where she glared daggers at me while talking about how someone had been stealing phone cards, near as I could tell her evidence was "you are the only young dude on staff". I was later set up to fail then sacked.

I worked for a bit in Paris had to do some in store in store training at a retail bakery at Gare de Nord station. As I found the back door I noticed a huge pile of human shit. I hoped over it and continued on my way did what I needed to. A few hours later i walked back out to the bakery floor that had a retail counter if the front. I noticed a huge trail of human shit everywhere. I looked up to see on the staff scraping human shit off her shoe with a baguette and flick the shit towards the bin. It kinda splattered on the wall be she just carried on serving and everyone kept walking in the shit. It was still there the next day. I didn’t stay.
