Well I've only worked at one place so that could be my worst and best job

At first I bagged groceries for a long time, then I got trained as a cashier and worked maybe twice as one. Bagged groceries all the while being able to cashier.
Then I got an offer to move over to the meat department where I work. Well I took it without thinking
I work 24 hours a week, 3 days a week for 8 hours starting at 5 AM and ending at 1 PM. When i get there I have to stock the fish case for 3-4 hours then the rest of the time is spent stocking the frozen stuff we order, corn dogs, burritos, frozen fish stuff, ETC.

Some days it can be awesome, days like tomorrow where I have to put tags on like a billion turkey suck.

My boss... well he calls himself a jackass, and when he has to tell people when and where they messed up he mildly over reacts a tiny bit, but he makes sure you know you messed up but I don't think he truly hates anyone of us that work for him.

And I'd by lying if I said I didn't deserve being told I messed up a couple of times, but other times it was because I'm a bit under trained.

I'll be honest, I think I'm under payed. I make 7.50 and I feel I should be making 8.00 if not 8.50 an hour. Minimum wage in Utah is 7.25
Apart from stocking the fish case, and stocking a chunk of the frozen isle I take care of our freezer, face the stuff on the shelves, make shelf tags, order product that I stock, and keep the coffin (the big giant tub looking thing in a grocery store that's full of food) stocked as well as a small little section on a wall at the other end of the store, all in 8 hours. If I manage to get all those things done, then I have to help tray meat up for the rest of the time I'm there. Which I have done a few times.

Also, stocking the isle isn't just putting stuff on shelves, I have to go grab a giant pallet stocked with stuff from the giant freezer (Most of it isn't even mine.) and then stack it all onto a 6 wheeler and then put it on the isle.

Fresh and frozen yeah.

Fresh and frozen, or fresh and previously frozen? Are you responsible for putting all the fish in empty case in the morning and making sure it looks nice? If so, then yes, you should definitely be making more than 25 cents over minimum wage.

Fresh and frozen. As in I have fish that was stored in a cooler after we got it, and fish that was frozen when we got it, and yes putting it in an empty case in morning.

The steps I have to do with that are
Clean the inside, put trays in the bottom of the case, fill gaps, then put a small car trunks worth of ice into the fish case, after that I have to go get the fresh fish and any frozen fish I need to put out (this includes shrimp and crab) and stock it and make it look nice in the case. I also put out kale to make the fish case look nicer.
After that I put the fish from the previous day that I didn't put back in into trays and log all the fresh fish I put into the case. It doesn't seem like a lot but it can take 3-4 hours depending on how fast I work

Alright, Douche, as a fellow PA DQ worker, I went through the "customer shit all over the bathroom walls" routine, but I'll raise you with "I spent 20 minutes unclogging the toilet after someone flushed a tampon." Worst job so far would be a dream job for most. I worked as a clerk for one of the most prestigious attorneys in my area (in a college party town, that means something). My days consisted almost entirely of talking to frat boys with DUIs who didn't understand the justice system, and pedophiles who insisted that the 3 gigs of kiddy porn on their computers was from a virus.

... No, that sounds like a horrible job.
