[Persephone]

So I am definitely curious to see the answer to the following question:
What was your first job?

How old were you when you first started working?

Did you enjoy it? Hate it?

Have any good stories from your first job?

Please share!




.....As for me, my first job was working at a gift shop at a local touristy place when I was about 14. I worked with 2 other kids my age and the rest of the cashiers were ladies over 70+. Pretty easy job and I enjoyed it a lot! Worked there for over a 1 1/2 years! 🙂

worked in a butcher shop section of a supermarket at 18, it was gross I would come home and go straight into the shower because I would smeel like raw meat. To this day I hate the sight of raw meat and have to put on rubber gloves when I cook lasted a month there before I moved on to bigger and better things.

I was 14 and worked for the summer at Canada's Wonderland... a theme park here much like 6 Flags 😀 Talk about dream job!

I was a patio sweeper for the various restaurants, but I met a ton of cool people and of course got free passes for my friends to join me at the park all summer long

I worked in a theme park called, "All-American SportPark"; when I turned 15, and it was so much fun! I worked their for a little over 2 years. I started as a:
1. Go-cart attendant, then
2. Facilities attendant, then
3. Trainer, then
4. Lead/supervisor

It was definitely the most fun I've had being in the work force for the past 15 years!

I have so many fond memories...

Bottling "spring" water. Never saw the "spring". Just a machine that put the water in and capped it, then I put the bottles in crates. Eight hours of putting moist gallon bottles in crates. At the end of every day, my hands were red and often blistered from the continuous moisture and friction.

I maintained my sanity by taking mental flights of fancy while performing mindless labor and riding the handlift around like a scooter by using the conservation of angular momentum. My coworkers thought I was crazy, mostly.

 

[Jagermeistered]

^WTF.

i worked at Bob Evans as a "Customer Service Attendant" aka i clean up the damn tables and bathrooms. dumb job. i was 15 years old and i got harassed there so much i ended up quitting after 5months.

the dishwasher guy tried to get me to suck his cock every damn day (still very much a virgin at the time) and he kissed me whenever he felt like it.

and one of the hosts and the other dishwasher (who happened to be the twin of the first dishwasher) backed me into a corner and totally would have tried shit with me if someone wouldn't have walked by.

You know I had a similar experience. It's hard to be so young and work with men who are so much older than you.

When I was 15, almost 16...I started working at McDonalds one summer and things were great at first until the new shift manager was hired.

This guy was a douche from day one, and despite having a really nice wife and 2 kids he would hit on anything that had a vagina and boobs.

One time I was in the walk-in freezer, standing on my tiptoes trying to grab some salad dressings that were very high up and all of a sudden I felt someone press behind me and he grabbed my breasts from behind and squeezed them. I was mortified and went into the bathroom stall and cried after I shoved past him.

Another time he cornered me in the back as I was trying to refill napkin dispensers and get lids and cups for the drive-through and groped me again.

I was terrified to tell anyone because I was so young and felt so ashamed by it. I never told anyone until probably a year later. I just said I quit because conveniently by that time it was mid-September and I said my school work would have kept me too busy.

Horrible, HORRIBLE experience!

Now I would kick him in the nuts! But he was actually brought to charges of sexual harassment a few years back by twin girls I went to high school with because he groped them as well!

Haha!
😀

I despise barbarians, like the ones you've described.

how come you didn't sue the place for sexual harassment?

I was 16 when i got my first job, it was at Burger King. I worked there for 2 years and i hated the place. In The summer it was Hotter than hell in the cooking area, When i came home after work i smiled like grease. I didn't like standing for hours, and i hated getting yelled at by bosses. that's why i say i will Never work at a food service place again.

Feel the same way after working in retail; after I left the theme park job. Didn't smell like grease, but that industry never caught my interest.

I had a paper route from the age of 12 to 15. When I was 16 I helped to run the shop that employed me as a paper boy for all those years.

I would hope so...

My first job was milking cows at 7 years of age. We lived on our family Dairy farm and my grandfather picked out the most gentle cow in the herd for me to learn on. This was in 1949 and at that time we milked by hand. About 10 years later we bought electric milkers and the job became much easier. BTW: my pay was Breakfast, Lunch and dinner and an occasional soft drink and candy bar.

 

[stroker]

I had my first job at 16 stacking shelves in a supermarket, It taught the true value of hard work, it sucks.

 

[milagros317]

I worked as a part-time cashier in a men's clothing store when I was 14 during the Christmas season. I was glad to be earning some money but it was rather dull ringing up sales.

 

[Flatfoot]

I know I said in another thread that I washed dishes at 13, but that was for about two days, and more as a favor, so I don't really count that. I went into the Marine Corps immediately after high school, when I was 18, but that wasn't so much a job as growing up way too damn early. I guess my first job (that I could quit or get fired from) would have to be as a part-time framer at Michaels while I was still active duty. I had a lot of fun working retail, and it was great being one of two guys in a craft store. I hated having to leave. I had another job lined up that had better pay. If I could, I'd still work there, but it just didn't pay well.

 

[TropicThunder]

I worked at FIELDS, which is just like a department store, pretty much, just cheaper. I was the youngest person who worked there (the rest were all old women)

My boss was really laid back though. When there was no one in the store, she'd send me across the street for coffees and we would sit outside and smoke until customers came in.

My first job was sacking groceries for a few months until football two-a-days started .

My first REAL job was my senior year after football season. I worked part time at Service Merchandise . It was actually pretty cool ; they just opened a new one so I was an original employee plus worked with several of my friends .

 

[kered]

I had my own lawn mowing route that lasted until I was 15. Then I got a sackboy job at Krogers. This was 1971 and I had to join the union and was paid union scale. Back then a starting salary of $2.79 per hour was real good money but the manager "over hired in the sackbay department and we were all getting about 6 hours every two weeks. So the next summer I hired on as labor for a paving company for about 9 bucks an hour. Paid my first car off in three weeks and with gas at 65 cents a gallon I went a lot of places.

 

[texastickler]

I worked at an apartment complex at 13. The Manager paid me out of petty cash. I moved funiture from one apartment to the other. Also picked up trash. Gave me money for the summer months.

 

[Bugman]

As a kid I mowed lawns in the summer (sometimes in return for cases of empty soda bottles I could return for the deposit) and sold Grit Magazine door to door for about a year.

My first real job was working in a small factory that produced wiring harnesses
for commercial lawn movers, trailers, stuff like that. The work was boring, mind numbing. The owner was a real jerk. Most of us were in our early 20s and we would smoke a joint at lunch to get through the day. Not a good idea, I know. I worked there twice actually. The second time they made me night shift manager. I hated that, so I got a job on a loading dock. $9 an hour was darn good money in 1973. I got laid off when the oil embargo affected their business.

 

[herts tickler]
