What was your first real job in high school? Like where you had to clock in, etc.

Grocery store

Worked at Albertsons as a cart boy/bagger.

I got my first real job while living in Ketchikan, Alaska. I worked at a sea cucumber processing plant. Wish I could remember the name of it. But I only worked there for like two weeks before I got hired at Ward’s Cove Fish Cannery, which paid much better. Worked there the entire summer. This would have been 1985.

A&P on college drive after school when I was around 16. A&P was a grocery store for all you non baby-boomers. Bagger and cart getter.

Some old rich lady was very particular about how her groceries were bagged and was known by the managers. She complained about me one time after I tried always to be very careful how I bagged her shite in the particular way she wanted. Will never forget that. Least I know that bitch has got to be dead by now.

Dishwasher. Magnolia Cafe on Sherwood. 1993.

This is strikingly similar to a John Updike short story titled “A&P”
