F you, guy.

 

 

Hey at least you got double the toppings on half of your pizza at no extra charge. So damn ungrateful.

I wish I would have started in that industry out of high school.

It was a different time. There were more opportunities for entry-level manufacturing jobs.

i'm impressed/surprised at how many of us had jobs that paid under the table.

I've worked at both K-mart and Walmart. Only needed Target for the trifecta. Hopefully one of these days I can complete that dream. 

I love that you have ambitious goals

So you are at Cracker Barrel you are saying

My first job was at KMart back in the day in their electronics department. Like some others here, I too did pizza delivery for awhile. It was actually a super fun gig. We’d work 5PM to 5AM shifts, and if you got the right nights the money was actually really solid. Plus it was in a college town, so that alone made the job fun sometimes.

This is a fun thread. Why is it in the political forum?

Because we all worked hard at one time to start out, didn't get silver spooned a bunch of money, lose it all and then claim to be a successful businessman.

Who's first job was as a grifter?  I did fill a baggie full of oregano and sell it to some dude as weed for $10. I should have become POTUS

Washed sand and gravel trucks on Saturdays. The owner paid $15 each for 4 trucks. After that, he let me wash as many as i wanted if the driver paid me. I charged $25 each.

I was 13.

You guys really sucked at negotiating your wages.

I wouldn't call it large, but not owner-operators.
