My 1st job was at a burger stand at Six Flags over Texas. They always put me at the register but I would’ve much rather been flipping burgers, or anything else where I didn’t interface with hungry people who’d been out in the hot sun all day.
The thing was, I was not a cashier – they had extra training and their hourly pay was a little higher. At one point they offered me the extra pay and I turned it down – I did not want to be a cashier. I figured that if I took the raise them they’d never take me off the register, but they rarely did anyway.
