Current job probably tops the list for stories, but a few others were pretty memorable like:
1) pet caregiver/dog walker- some of those pet owners were cah-razy!
2) ran a dry cleaner in a crappy part of town. I got really good at identifying drug dealers and knowing when to lock the doors. There were a few shootouts, but a lot of drug busts.And I'm not even sharing my adolescent inpatient psych ward experience or my coding monkey behavior experience or my bar tending experience because they don't quite have the same good stories as the above jobs!

RN in inner city ER. Verrrry interesting. I work on a general inpatient ward in a naval hospital now, and it is so much more tame.

High school teacher - definitely! Although retail assistant came a close second!
It was the last day of term on the 19th and I had my Year 10 (I think 9th grade?) class. Two of my Year 12s came to see me regarding an assessment and while I am talking to them, the whole class bursts into song behind them. Not because of them, just because they felt like it. I teach English literature... I could not keep a straight face - my poor Year 12s did not know what was going on. That's just how they roll - my crazy, shameless Year 10s, 14 going on 5. -
Oh definitely my 7 years at The Beer Store. You meet a lot of interesting people selling beer. Plus it was such a fun job to have while I was in University.

In high school I was a lifeguard for a big water park. There was always stories to tell there.

Wedding planner. A few bride + mother/mother-in-law stories come to mind
-
Elementary school teacher! Kids say the funniest things!
-
Right now I work at a clinic in a phone center doing patient scheduling - I love it - but we do see some interesting things. It heavily involves medical records so I see a lot I'm not at liberty to discuss
-
Definitely my current job: Creative director at a web design company. Lots of crazy client stories.

@grizz: aren't all SW jobs full of crazy stories?
My first real job out of college was as a child protection SW. That was eye opening and there was never a shortage of stories at. The end of the day.
I also worked in MT as a family therapist and that was very interesting, to say the least!

My best stories usally have something to do with poop. I'd have to say CNA & my current job as communitty support for individuals with disabilities.

I was a celebrity nanny and there were few dull moments.

When I studied abroad in Madrid, I was assigned an internship with a college radio station. They gave me my own talk show, which was really interesting given that my Spanish was iffy at best when I started.
I also had a lot of interesting stories when I worked as a therapist at a sheltered workshop for individuals with developmental and/or cognitive disabilities.
