    when they ask "why did you choose this job" they dont mean "why did you want a job" they want to know why you chose them specifically out of a multitude of other jobs.

      lol as a new costco employee, I get $2 above min wage. You have to work like a decade to get those $27-30/hr pay rates. Even then, it is still one of the easier jobs that I've had with good benefits. They allow us new workers to take 1 week (unpaid) vacations too.

      I worked with Costco too. Downside is getting a full-time job is really hard. But if you're young and need something for some cash, it's a great job.

    Ironic that the best time was when I quit/got fired from my minimum wage job.
    I worked as a food service worker
    I hated being nearly gaslight by saying "we did it x way forever."
    I hated having to deal with the crabby co workers
    I hated the fact that I legit got written up when I was majorly depressed and no one gave a f.
    I hated that my boss would be scrolling through Facebook whilst I have a whole line of karts full of dishes and he's not lifting a finger.
    Even when I tried to get time to myself by being in the bathroom. They will call me trying to say "it's urgent" when it's not.
    Be in mind this is the tip of the iceberg

    I worked at a gas station for a bit, I did the closing shift which wasn’t that bad. What’s even better is my town is practically a ghost town so I would see the same 5 people every day who just wanted to get a coffee and hang out. Eventually I’d see someone come in who wasn’t from around here, not even from the surrounding shit holes. More often than not those ones were the Karens. We had full permission to tell those people off from our boss because they would ruin the vibe for our 5 guys in the back.

    For the love of God, please, DO NOT work a fast food joint. It is absolutely terrible. Minimum wage, dealing with bitchy people, people you don't like, sometimes your friends, and getting yelled at for not knowing how to do your job when they never taught you.
    Just don't work restaurants... It ain't worth it.

    Another big point for step 6 DO NOT FRIEND COWORKERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA UNTIL YOU DONT WORK THERE ANYMORE! Doesn't matter how chill they are all it takes is 1 bad post and them deciding to be a douche one day and bam you've lost a job. Be chill with people in the workplace, get their number if you're gonna hang out outside of work, but don't friend/follow them on socials unless you are planning to find a different job.

    Sir, you can go to a Dollar general and get a drink with no bottle return and it’ll still give you that ten cent fee, any fizzy drink purchased under states that do returns will add that fee no matter what

I decided to try it because I needed money. I thought I was going to hate it but truth be told, it was probably the most fun and chill time. With how strict the dine in mandates were and customers are forced to do takeout and food delivery apps. It’s just an empty restaurant with no customers to deal with except friends. Basically you were on your phone watching vids all day/night, eat, piss and shit, and get paid.

It might take time with no experience but if you live in the city there will eventually be one restaurant that’s desperate and hiring (id say maybe at the very least have 6 months of food service if its not working out even at a fast food place could help). However with good pay comes really aids work so be prepared.

    I had a job were it was common to offer someone 50% of the hourly rate to cover your shift. So the person covering the shift got a bunch of extra money for covering a shift.
    If you got the time, turn yourself into the person who covers all the shifts. Other employees will pay you handsomely for it.
    15 + 7.5 = 23.5 per hour!

    Another tip which is almost like a side step of finding who the non chill people are and dont talk to them is that find out who the snitches are. Not that you should be doing anything too stupid but managers expect that you will be goofing off every now and again. Do not associate with the snitches because people will think you're one and not talk to you making time go by slower. If you want, you could prob ask other employees who are chill and have been working there for a longer time
