Delivering pizza in high school. When the call came in for triple anchovies, you had a job to do. Even if there three other calls that afternoon, you had to make sure the last lady was every bit as happy as the first. Even if it was your friend's mom.

Worked for a home builder building his house. As in me and him. It was exhausting. The amount of ply wood and lumber I carried still hurts my shoulder.

Those first few years of laying irrigation pipe on our farm were pretty brutal. It was always somewhere around 110* during the day, though we'd start as early as possible.
Wrestling hundreds of pounds of pipe into the rollers, walking it out multiple times, fixing the inevitable breaks that would happen when a pipe burst....I still don't like hose clamps.

I was a driver/helper for Caro. Left out in the AM with 1200 cases in an 18 wheeler and unloaded it all by hand daily. I was in pretty damn good shape. Rack 12-50 lb sacks of flour on a hand truck and roll it into Popeyes. Couldn't do it now.

I kid you not, working fries at freaking Chick-fil-A lunch rush in college. I will never do something more difficult in my life. Thank God for a college degree. Employees would pay each other in beer and cash to not do fries during lunch rush. It was just 2 hours straight of physical activity. Constantly opening boxes, and then opening bags of fries, dumping them, salting them, scooping them in fry boxes, getting boxes from the back when you went through all 20 boxes in the freezer behind you. shite was never ending. A heavy lunch would do 130 cars in an hour, and in the suburbs, you are averaging probably three boxes of fries per car. One person being responsible for 390 orders of french fries in 60 minutes is just such a bitch.
I know in general the bar is low for fast food, but the Chick-fil-A kitchen is practically slave labor for what they pay kids.

Laborer at one the Geismar plants for a college summer job. Hauling plywood and shite around all day in the hot LA sun.
Then I got to drive the tractor-I ended up running into some pipes and and my co-worker jumped off that MF as fast as I've seen someone run.
Didn't get fired but never drove that tractor again.

Hauled watermelons in Saline LA 2 summers, it was rough out in those field, picking up watermelons and throwing to a guy in a trailer where he stacked them. When we got out of the field we then had to stand in trailer and throw them up to a guy in an 18 wheeler trailer.

If you were a tech you should have had your helper carry the camera

Painted houses during the summers in high school. I would start the sanding on the house, while the rest of the crew were finishing up the previous house. Those bastards would take their time so they wouldn't have to sand. But I got them back by refusing to take the peak of the house. Great work out for the arms and shoulders. One of the funniest things was these dirty bastards would shite in the old paint cans and leave it for some one to find.

I worked in a lumber yard in high school at minimum wage. It was a bitch, especially in the summers. Looking back on it I cannot believe I did it for so little pay
