"We need some more secret sauce. Go put this tub of mayonaise out in the sub." -- Manager to fast-food worker drone, "The Simpsons"
Man oh man, $6.50? That's way more than I ever made at a college summer job. Even when they upped me to warehouse manager at Michaels briefly (I didn't last long; they wanted someone to replace the sweet little old lady who was having trouble hauling boxes around because she had a heart problem, and I was more than willing to help out; but when three carts full of merchandise vanished over to the framing department before they I could even log them in . . .), I was only pulling in about $5.85.
Best crap job I ever had was at a little independent movie theater when I was living in Ohio the summer before my senior year. I think they actually paid the bare minimum ($5.15), but I got into movies for free all while I was working there and throughout the next school year; popcorn and candy were free for the taking (it's amazing how, living on a diet of nothing but heart-clogging-buttered popcorn and cookie dough bites, you can still lose twenty pounds over three months; and I eventually wound up in a hot-n-heavy relationship with one of my co-workers. So there were some fringe benefits.
