It was not air conditioned and the boss was the meanest I've ever had. We wore skates to move around the warehouse and fill orders faster. One guy hid around the corners and tripped the women as they skated past him. We showered and changed clothes at lunch. It was that hot.

Best job, other than my current job, was as a waitress in a bar. The owner was the best boss I've ever had. Just a wonderful man who treated his employees well and ran a great business. I'd go back to work for him in a minute.
