My first real job was doing refit work in a shipyard for a couple of idle months after high-school and before college. Paid $20 / hour before tax and by god I earned every cent.

Funnily enough, I had a minimum wage job in retail support/administration nearly a decade later that paid $16/hr. Much less demanding , hot and dirty.

Am I the only one that remembers when Pizza Hut served beer?  At least the one in the neighborhood I grew up in did.

I worked at a PH in Lakewood, CO my senior year in HS.  It served beer.  In fact, IIRC the one outside NTC in Waukegan did right after I got out of boot.  But by the late 80's pretty much all of them stopped, IIRC.

Some of the Pizza Hut stores out west here still do (serve beer and wine).

Most pizza huts here are take out and delivery only. A full service PH is as rare as a DUmmy with a job.

Neither PH nor Domino's deliver to our house, but the local pizza/sandwich joint, which is further away than both, does deliver.  Go figure.

They should use drones to deliver your pizza.

I stopped eating Pizza Hut after college for quite a while.  We had one on campus that we could use our student meal card for, kinda got burned out on it.

There are several free standing Pizza Hut locations here that have dining rooms.  Just haven't been inside them.  I imagine if they do serve beer, it is expensive as compared to bars in the area.

People around here have guns, and know how to use them.

Very first job?  $.05/bail.  We hauled on average 2,000 bails a day 6 days a week.  $100/day was great money but it was only for a few months each year.

At 15 I went to work in a manufacturing plant making denim pants.  I was a presser.  Minimum wage was $3.35 but we were paid piece work and if you were making minimum wage for very long you were fired.  I worked from 9:00pm to 5:00 am, got home and took a shower then went to school.  I was out of school by 2:00pm and went home to sleep all I could get in before work.
