Cashier at the Grocery Store

Share Your Story: My First Job

From Tara Platt

What I Did:

I was a cashier at a grocery store called Pathmark.

How I Did It:

I go the job because my mother and sister already worked there. I was 16 and needed a job immediatley. The job was pretty easy. You just learned the register and the store basically. It was fun because everybody I know shops there. I would see them and they would say hi and come to my register and stuff.

Advice

  • This is good for a first job, but don't quit in 10 months like I did.
