What was your first job ???

[MegoMark71]

My 1st job was working at a summer day care.

The Knights of Columbus Hall let me wait tables when I was 13 at their weekly bingo night. I remember acting like a big deal because I was the only kid in my class with a job. What a dolt.

The first summer I worked, I had three little jobs; picking blueberries, potting evergreens, and loading trucks with turkeys destined to become Mr. Turkey lunch meat. My first dealing-with-the-public job the next summer was as salad bar girl at Wendy's.

Taco Bell in 1985. They paid 2.85 (student wage at the time) as I was only 15. My first day I cut three huge cans of olives into thirds with a plastic serated edge. The manager told me if I was willing to come back after that I could have the job. I worked there for 11 years working my way up to store manager (3 stores) and was offered a regional position when I finally quit for my current job. Waaay too much stress. Stuffing tacos was fun when I was in High School though. Its like any job...its the people you work with that makes it fun....

I worked at a wholesale drug company during the summer I was 14 on the docks loading and unloading trucks and stocking shelves. My Dad worked there.

I eventually worked there in receiving on-and-off during school for the next 9 years.

Before libraries went hi tech, I was one of the people in the back putting the check out cards back in the books.

My first job was as a dishwasher at a British restaurant/tavern. That only lasted a year, then I spent the next six years working as a kitchen cleaner/delivery driver (to other stores in our local chain) at Tim Hortons. All the free donuts and pop I wanted, plus lots of cute girls worked there too, and my mom was the bookkeeper for the franchise owner, so I was treated really well. Probably why I hung around so long.

I started working in my mom's catering business in the summer after the sixth grade. Washing dishes, loading the vans, sweeping, mowing, cleaning, measuring people for tuxedo rentals, answering the phone, making, checking out customers.

Didn't do any cooking, but I did decorate a few cakes, lol.

[Dark Shadow]

Toys R' Us in the "Pick Up" area: unloading trucks, moving pallets to the second floor stockroom with a forklift, maintaining/rotating lower & upper stockrooms, customer "carry outs" & "tie downs", assembly (bikes, etc), re-wrap, etc.

Babysitting.

[Hedji]

Paper route as an early teen. Then I had a job for one day at a supermarket bringing in shopping carts from the cold. I promptly quit and worked at a Tuxedo rental store in the new mall. I was the only guy there, with lots of cute girls who worked with me. Great job.

Worked at K-Mart for a couple of years. I started out at the check-outs and from there it seems I covered most departments, other than clothing.

My first job was at a golf and tennis store. I strung tennis racquets and learned regripping and selling golf and tennis equipment. It was great, I learned a lot from it and had great fun. I made 5.00 an hour and thought it was wonderful. I was a senior in high school and worked there well into college. My boss really taught me a lot and I learned a ton about working with people. At the time I felt lucky because my friends that had jobs were all fast food or some sort of food service jobs. I played racquetball like a fiend and could restring my racquet and buy my other stuff at cost. Worked a lot of hours too while I went to school.

Did you get the comics?

Oh yeah!
I bought about $5 worth of comics after I got my first week's pay (or about 14 comicss, at $0.35 each!).
