First Paying Job

When I turned 16 my friend Robin worked at a McDonald's restaurant in Spanish Fork, Utah and I decided to get a job nearby so we could spend more time together when we weren't trying to earn money! Since McDonald's had already hired her they couldn't hire me so I went to work at Burger King. It was interesting. I remember being so nervous on my first day. It was a lot to take in in a very short time and I have a lot more sympathy now when I see a cashier having a rough day. Slicing tomatoes was fun. I loved the free drinks while I was on my shift. If it hadn't been for a move with my parents to Nephi, Utah, which was a little too far for me to commute for the minimum wage, I probably would have worked there for more than just the few months I did...
