Worst: I applied for a cashier position with a local store that was opening in a few months time. I got an interview, turned up early dressed to the nines, and was polite and respectful... apart from one, niggling issue.

Most memorable: Applied for a cashier/stockroom position at a sort of "one-size-fits-all" store where they sold pretty much everything.
