Just curious. Mine was at a grocery store: I now avoid shopping for groceries whenever possible. It was not a good experience.
 
I worked and continue to work in my dads home business, nothing like waking up, getting a glass of morning coffee, having a shower, and then walking 20 seconds down strairs to get to work in the morning :) (if I ever actually bothered to work in the morning, lets just say the hours are kinda like "as long as this work gets done by next friday" type stuff)
 
my first job was working as a clerk at a bank
 
My first job, at 15, was washing dishes in a Japanese resturant. Still consider it one of the hardest jobs I've ever had.
 
My parents owned a small motel, so at a very young age I was helping to clean the rooms and in my early teen years I was starting to check customers in and take their money.

I delivered papers starting in probably 6th grade or something.

Besides these I started work at a gas station at age 18.
 
I put 'temp', although it wasn't really. Well...maybe.

I was going to my bowling league one thursday afternoon, when a construction foreman called me over. I was 16 at the time. He was in charge of putting up a resturant up, and needed someone to clean up, sweep up, that kind of stuff. So I did that for about four, maybe six weeks. After that was over, I got the job I knew I was going to get, working in the bowling alley. My mom worked there, and our family had been going to the center for about ten years at this point. Knew the manager and owners pretty good, and it was a foregone conclusion (for me, at least) that I would end up working there.
 
Working in the Supermarket in a local town.
 
Dishwasher at age 15. I got 3.60 Dutch Guilders per hour..... That equals 1.62 euros or near 2 US dollars.

You brave, brave soul. :sad:

My first job was doing photocopying and filing for my dad at his office. Low-stress filing job, probably the best job I've ever had, decent pay, good hours, no supervision. Lowed it :love:

Then grocery store.
 
Pre-internet age spammer! That is to say, dumping unwanted advertisment leaflets/brochures into everybody's mailboxes.
 
Sales assistant in a dept store - couldn't stand it. Switched to cashiering after a week or so. Much better - handling cold hard cash. :)
