Im 18(19 in december) and im currently unemployed. At 16 i got a job at the local Steak n Shake as a food prep guy. Four weeks later they moved me to making shakes. About 100-150 shakes during lunch hours and dinner hours. And i was the only one making shakes. It was bad. I was only being paid 5.50 a hour, and i should have asked for a raise, but i was 16 and wasn't mature enough.
I Ended up quitting that job after 2 and a half months. Managers were very rude, and inconsiderate. All of them but one sat around in the office smoking, and came out for about twenty minutes to yell at people not doing any thing. Made me really mad and made me quit.
Then last year in october i got a job at k-mart in the shoe-department. I didn't know it when i first started, but the shoe-department is owned by a shoe company(Meldisco) and K-Mart rented out the space to them. Good in a way, i was the only one that worked in the shoe department, since i worked in the evening, and my boss worked in the day, so i didn't have some one watching me. But what i thought was dumb was i couldn't do any work for Kmart.
I got in trouble, and some one else for taking two TV sets on a pallet up to the check outs. Since i didn't work for Kmart. I quit that job last May. $6.75 a hour wasn't enough for all the work i did. I lost count how many times i took down old adds my boss didn't take down, my DM got on to me about not doing that fully, but i learned fast. And Only 20 hours a week. I Wrote my boss a note asking for more, no response. She never did talk to me when i wrote memos to her, so i quit.
As soon as i get my next job, get $500 saved up, im taking my dad to my bank, and getting a loan for a Honda CBR 600RR. I need a mode of transportation, and the only way i will be able to get a vehicle is if i have to make payments on it, i im not good at saving money at all.
