[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will offer a different perspective. I worked in both a grocery stores and restaurants in high school and college. In some cases I found that the management and long-time staff treated the high school and college students poorly. I eventually wised up and got a job in an office answering phones and cleaning filing cabinets. It still paid about minimum wage but was much more pleasant.[/quote]

This is good perspective.
It does depend on management and your teen. And times have changed from when we were young and the schedules were put out in paper every week vs. a very gig / texting economy now where people mess up shifts.

I was good with the cash drawers and ended up working in customer service and doing the cashouts at the end of the work day before the night shift came on.
I had a friend who worked across the way at the very small walgreens or CVS or whatever and I was kind of jealous of her being a one-woman shop. It was often just her up front. No managers. Or she was the manager for that shift! I don't know if that exists anymore. Drug stores are all very large now. [/quote]
