I worked during Year 12 (what a great idea for someone who stresses out) for about.. 3, 4 weeks? It was at an art supply store. I worked for, what I at first though, was a nice, albeit slightly creepy, German man, who was quite a lot bit taller than me and quite imposing.
I should have clued on that something was a bit weird, when he pretty much told me to go cut paper and that was it. When I finished, I always had to go ask him what to do, which he usually seemed to be fine with. He was very friendly and grateful I was doing what he asked.
However, in the 3rd (or 4th? Cannot remember), he was in a particularly pissy mood because I couldn't work the day before because of a migraine. This was the only day I missed.
So, in front of customers, he verbally abused me and reduced me to tears, then after I told him I couldn't do it (read: put up with his bullshit, but I was too scared and tearful to say that) anymore, he sighed dramatically and told me to go on my way.
.. Shitty first job experience, which I spent most of last year recovering from, rantrantrant.
tl;dr: Worked at an art supply store, got verbally abused by a two-faced asshole of a boss. It sucked.

My first job was working at a deli. Every day I didn't end my life by putting my face in a meat slicer was a small triumph.
My first job was at KFC, truly a disguisting place. I lasted about nine months then got a better offer at a local resturant (I've now been there about 5 years part time, and it has changed ownership). The resturant is a billion times better, and much more conveniant to work around school/uni. I currently have a few other jobs as well, turns out I'm addicted to money (not spending it, just having it).
I'm only 14 so unless you count babysitting and raking the yard, no jobs yet. Although babysitting a 3 year old is torture. Goes something like this.
"Why?" I don't know why. "Why?" Because I don't "Why?" Because I'm not that smart. "Why?" Because I haven't learned that yet. "Why?" SHUT UP!!!
Anyway, as I get older I really want to get a job as a waiter. Has always been very appealing to me.

I worked as a grocery clerk at Vons (a Safeway company). I really hated it, because I was very very immature back then, looking back.
