I grew up in that area. I remember it being an IGA, but not a Winn Dixie. What year was that?

Hot dog stand at the mall. 15.
There was this old afghan lady that worked there. Sweet as she could be. I think she was a refugee from the soviet invasion and part of the owner's family.
Anyway, she was an awesome cook and had perfected chili making when she got to Texas. That was a very popular hot dog stand.

Worked at Winn-Dixie from 1984-1985 at that location on North Little John and Florida.
I think the store closed around 1987.
That whole Sherwood Forest neighborhood has gone downhill.

'62-'63 Worked as a cashier and stock boy for Winn Dixie. Was making minimum wage of $1.15/hr but often would receive tips from customers...dimes and the occassional quarter for assisting with groceries to the customer's car. Gasoline was about .24/gal back then. Also worked for my Dad on construction sites on occassion (in the summer and in the hot sun all day)...he paid me $1.00/hr plus he bought my lunch. What a deal huh?

I was 16 and worked at a pizza place that a girl in my class parent's owned. This would have been 2000 and I was making $5.15 and hour and moved up to $7.15 an hour when he made me night manager. It was connected to a service station and I got the job of restocking the beer cooler because the owner trusted me. He probably shouldn't have because I had free beer for almost a year and he never caught on.Everything was good until one the workers set the dumpster on fire. I got chewed out for that one. All I could do was sit back and laugh as this idiot was filling up 5 gallon buckets and running about 50 yards to try to put a dumpster fire out.

I sold Cokes in Neyland Stadium when I was 13 and 14. Hourly wage plus commission...Walking the stadium with a rack of 20 cokes at a time was a pain in late August and early September...but I made a ton of cash and they made us cash out at the beginning of the 4th quarter...so after that I got to watch everything for free. Great job.

D&M Liquor Store, SSF, Ca. I stocked shelves and kept the beer rotated. 1969-I was 12. I remember a 6 pack of 12oz Coke bottles was 9 cents more than a 6 pack of Bud.

At 15 I worked in a B Dalton's Bookstore. During football season I worked only on the weekends. Off season I would work every day after school and some weekends if someone called in sick. During two a days in the summer it sucked because after the second practice I would go in and close the store. I had that job until I graduated. It was an easy $5.00/hr and it helped me to get my first car and paid for my insurance.
