BGKC Posted August 27 Posted August 27 My first job was at a Subway (eat fresh). I remember my first (and only) day so clearly bc it was the same day MJ died customers came in and told me the news as I was being trained to make their sandwich. It was like a national emergency when he died. My mom was such a huge fan too. Long story short, I got overwhelmed and walked out lol. WBU? 1 10
Sheep Posted August 27 Posted August 27 (edited) Hand job Spoiler Actually it was cashier Edited August 27 by Sheep 6 1
Curaga Posted August 27 Posted August 27 (edited) omg my story's kinda similar: When I was 18, I worked at a Wendy's not far from my house for maybe a month, which was, like, really only a handful of shifts. I was so terrible at everything and I quit when I found out they had scheduled me for a 12-hour shift. I called in and said something really pseudo-professional like, "I'm going to have to terminate my employment with Wendy's as of today," and the lady on the phone just chuckled and said, "Okay..." and I hung up.

Suilen Posted August 27 Posted August 27 I was in charge of the chess club and the playroom at a summer camp. The chess club wasn't that bad, but they had zero budget, so I had to buy the prizes for the final tournament with my own money (which was like 1/3 of my eventual earnings). The playroom, though... One day the kids completely tore the place up, and I never heard the end of it from the higher-ups. I managed to avoid more situations like that, but having to clean and rearrange the whole place every single day sucked a bit. 2
taylamour Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Target cashier, which I promptly quit when they wouldn't give me the night off to go to the Fame Ball tour. 2 4
Illuminati Posted August 27 Posted August 27 (edited) I worked at a restaurant that did a lot of funeral dinners (among other formal gatherings, it required me to wear a suit) and that was kinda the only good part about it, cause everyone was too sad to be rude or demanding Spoiler Aside from that it was a nightmare Edited August 27 by Illuminati
Smarticle Posted August 27 Posted August 27 a 2 week stint at my local fair at a mini donut place. it sucked cause u stunk like sweat and donuts when u got home 4
Bubble Tea Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Got a Saturday job working at a big homeware store (like a smaller Ikea) and it was fine, gave me pocket money during high school and during university summers. A lot of tedious jobs like folding towels and there was no product training so people would waltz up to the counter clutching electrical appliances asking me things and I'd be furiously reading off the box to tell them about it But most people working here were fun and people were hooking up and what not so the vibes were kinda cool.
Subzero Posted August 27 Posted August 27 I had three actually, babysitting on Friday nights (across the street neighbors), Farmer's Market on Sat & Sun (I sold Crabcakes & Smoked Mozzarella) and on the weekdays after school I worked at a Frozen Yogurt Shop at the mall. I applied to these jobs at the same time and they all winded up calling me back around the same time and the scheduling worked out perfect so I could do all three. My ass was never home tho 2

Dancehall Queen Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Retail, but just moved around displays in a craft store during a partial remodel. I remember being overwhelmed but at this point I'm like what did I actually even do lol
bad guy Posted August 27 Posted August 27 I worked alongside a PA for a failed TV pilot when I was 16 for like 5-6 days. So basically I did nothing except show up on a set and wait around for the actual PA to need me to do something. Usually it was just throwing his stuff away or getting him coffee/water here and there. Majority of the time I just sat around either in the back doing homework or on the set watching terrible actors forget their lines and the director having to cut every other minute cause they kept f****** up. And this was all under the table too so labor laws were not being followed But my first real job was around 5 months later as a stock person at Ralph Lauren. Worked there on the weekends during the summer and then quit. 3
Jotham Posted August 27 Posted August 27 I didn't have my first job until my sophomore year of college, where I worked for residential life at my college. It was basically event planning and managing a recreation space on campus. I loved it because it was chill and my boss let us do homework whenever things weren't busy.
tjspy Posted August 27 Posted August 27 (edited) Junior Business Intelligence Analyst for L'oreal Luxe in my country at 21. I'm not rich by any means but my parents never really asked me too work before as I had good grades so that was my first job after finishing bachelor. Or helping the professors settle in material for online classes at rooms during the end of covid, I did that around the same time while starting my master and got paid cute 10€ per class when I basically did nothing xD Edited August 27 by tjspy
