I work at a grocery store bagging groceries and pushing carts. Pay isnt bad for most other places in town and its a union job. I'd recommend that if nothing else comes up.
It depends. If it's dead on the weekends, then no, chances are they won't be hiring. But I've never heard of a theater that's not busy during the weekend. If it's not busy during the week, that's normal. When I worked during the week we'd usually have 10 people tops - 2-3 on concession, one usher, one ticket taker, 2 people in box, and then a couple of supervisors/managers. But during the weekends it was insane.
my friend works at bk and he gets about 6.15 an hour and he works 43 hours averge so he makes a lil over 250
kroger/marsh has easy jobs... you know just helping someone by carrying their bags, putting things in bags, etc.. i did that when i was 14. i am 20 now, and i have alot of things that helped me from this job.. skills, etc..
Big chain stores usually make it so that you have to be 18 to work during any season and 16 in the summer, so at 15 maybe try to get a cleaning job at a local store, it's a start, but that's more or less what you can do legally
I am going to start working at a grocery store (Publex) in november of this year they higher at 14 I belive the pay is like $5.50 at 14 the only thing you can do though is fronting (pulling items from the back of shelfs up) and bagging but at 14 getting that kind of job is pretty sweet (pay wise) I would suggest if there is a Publex there or any good grocery stores that are needing ppl than shoot for that all though movie theatre would be the pwn
My cousin worked at a movie theater and got us free movie tickets while he was working, go for it! Lol.
My current situation: I turned 16 January 7th. I have had a job for 3 years now. I started early because it was a friend of the family. Ironically working ruined my social life. Making money was great no doubt about that but I had no time after school or anything. I wouldn't worry about getting a job at your age. Just live your life and be with friends as much as you can at your age. (sounds like I'm in my 80s) but I have already gone through it. --Renagade
I have had a job since a month of turning 13 as a paper boy, getting up at 5am every morning to sort out the papers, serve a few customers and then do a round, pay was crap but I got alot of experience... I now work for one of the biggest uk retailers as an unoffical supervisor (being the most experience person there...doing manger tasks without the pay) A paper round let me have a social life, whilst still earning a little money...and being a waiter isn't all that bad, if u can get work with a nice resturant you can earn some tips...oh and get a push bike for all those lazy enough not to walk anyway, when u don't own a car Daz
I work part time, so I basically get $70 - $270 here and there. I could work more if I wanted to, but I'm fine with what I get right now. Have to start working more though because of my funds for the 360 :unsure:
You guys are mentioning $6/hr kind of jobs, when I worked at wal-mart the pay started at a base of $8/hr for a cart pusher. I was hired at $10/hr because of my mom, so I was making $400/wk before taxes (about $350/wk with taxes), so it was really nice money. You have a cart machine at the bigger places (its a machine that pushes 20-120 carts, our maximum with 6 people guiding/helping, you need to be 16 to guide and 18 to operate, but they are leniant on that) and you can clear a wal-mart parking lot in the middle of christmas season in 1-2 hours then go take an hour or two break and go back at it, getting paid all at the same time. On top of the great pay/easy work you also stay in shape (pushing 20 carts alone at a time for 4-8 hours tends to get your abs/arms/legs into shape). I am actually sad I lost my job at wal-mart, it was seriously my best job, the managers were great, the job was so much fun when you got to know the guys, the pay was good, i cant even stress how nice it was. The best part is they almost ALWAYS need cart pushers as most can only work part time and if you start now you can have a full time job over summer more than likely with benefits and stuff (after 90-120 days they will offer you a full-time, full employee thing that has great everything). It really isnt a bad place to continue working for the rest of your life. Most wal-mart store managers and higher ups (district managers, state, country, etc.) started out at wal-marts cashier or cart pushing areas. They now make multiple hundreds of thousands, maybe low millions as a CEO/manager of sales kind of thing, and any manager (department managers and anything higher) are guarenteed bonus checks of nothing less than 5K at the end of the year. You get 10% off normally, and if your store stays accident safe for 30 days its an additional 10% off any other 1 product (making 20% off) and they are very lenient on taking days off and stuff. I think the store manager has a salary of like $100,000 a year and he expects between a $25,000 and $75,000 bonus at the end of the year varying on how well the store did throughout the year (i live in a pretty heavily populated area, so the store is always busy with business).
