A FORMER Primark worker spilled the beans on the best jobs to volunteer for when working at the store and her most humiliating experience as an employee.
Influencer Imogen shared the story of her employment with her 425k followers.
She explained that she worked at the store when she was 17 and would take Saturday and Sunday shifts while working a weekday job and studying for her A-levels at college.
Taking to YouTube, she said: “I was 17 and I was being a little bit naughty right. I was going out clubbing underage.
“I actually used to come in and just had such a bad headache because I used to drink sometimes.

“I used to come in quite hungover so what I would say is: ‘I would love to clean the hanger bins’.
“They have these big hanger bins, it’s quite a good job in the Brighton store because you had to take a bundle of the hangers out and put them in another bin that was outside.
“A: it got me out the shop and B: I could waste so much time doing the hangers.
“It was an easy job, sometimes I’d go out there with one of the boys or one of the girls and we’d have chats. It was just easy.

“I sound like such a dosser and I’m really not. I do work hard. But I had two jobs as well as college.”
The YouTuber explained that she really enjoyed the work.
She said: “Primark was actually probably one of my favourite jobs I’ve ever had. You had to scan your fingerprint to clock in and clock out and I never got underpaid.”
But she also told the story of when she was feeling so rough after pulling an all nighter that she slept on the shop floor while on shift.
She said: “On the Saturday I went out and I actually pulled an all nighter.
“I went back, I quickly got changer into my work gear. I didn’t even change, my make-up was the same as the night before.
“I must have stunk of alcohol, I looked horrific. And I was like: ‘how am I going to get through this day?’
“They were like, ‘Imogen you’re on the trouser section’, which was right at the back so I was like ‘dream’.”
She then explained that, while arranging the trousers, she felt her phone vibrate.
As phones weren’t allowed on the shop floor the influencer decided to conceal herself while she checked her message by crawling underneath the trouser rail.
She said: “So I crawled underneath and then I just decided I wanted a nap under the trouser section.”
The YouTuber explained that she was snoozing for an hour while the rest of the staff looked for her – not thinking to check under the clothes rails.
Eventually she was spotted by a manager who woke her up and Imogen decided to claim that she had fainted in order to explain away the awkward situation.
She was immediately escorted by staff to a free changing room where she was sat down and given water and mints to recover from the incident.
Following her misdemeanour Imogen decided it would be better to find another job.
