    Busboy as well. But I didn't do too well with it. It was in a sports bar and I often got distracted watching the Rangers or Yankees

    The first one I can remember now is dishwasher at Chili's, but I quit after a week. My "friend" had talked me into coming to work there, not telling me that I was going to be washing dishes or that he was basically roping me in as his replacement so he could "move up" to fry cook and ditch the job he himself hated.

    Then he'll be assistant manager. And that's when the big bucks start rolling in

    I worked at a store called Clover (retail like Kmart, Kohls, Target, etc..) until they were bought out. Actually it was one of my favorite jobs, people were great! Just was making about minimum wage at the time though :(

    Well, after I quit they moved him back, and he quit rather than doing that anymore. He probably would be making better money if he'd stayed with Chili's, he's a philosophy professor at some little school I've never heard of before.

    I was a groundsman for a lady that went to our church, and she owned a Stock farm for race horses. I worked as a groundsman for her, feeding horses, cleaning stalls, bathing horses,cleaning water buckets and troughs. I woke up at 4 every morning to get there by 4:30. Worked til 7, then went home showered got ready for school, and then went back after school. It was hard work, but I learned tons!! And I absolutely loved being around all the horses!
    I got paid 3 an hour but at 11 yrs old that's RICH!! I worked for that lady til I was 13. I saved for those three years and bought my first horse by my 14th birthday!!

    Car wash. I wore an apron and big soapy mitts and hand washed the cars as they moved through the wash pit, sometimes bumper to bumper for hours and hours straight, lol. It was so busy sometimes. And the mother/son owners stole our tip money from us. It was fuckin bad :lol::mrgreen:

    A place called Jungle Jim's - very similar to Chucky Cheese. So I got to clean up kid's puke. And I'm not a fan of kids. The owners had the Beatles on 24-7. Hence why I hate the Beatles to this day.
