I just got a job at a local grocery store where a bunch of friends work.
It's looked at as a place where people with no class, or no ability to obtain another job work.
However, I'm in AP classes, and I'm in the top 4 % of my class and wish people would realize that most kids working there are in fact intelligent, and just want some money.
Posted by anonymous at December 14, 2005 2:25 PMI think that you view the job as beneath you, and that's why you think shoppers look down on you. Most people understand that many businesses hire high school and college students who are looking for a paycheck until they move on to a "real" job. Don't worry about what people think (or what you think they think). You obviously aren't going to make a career out of being a grocery store clerk, but everybody has to start somewhere.

They just want to work your ass.
There will always be more slaves for the Pharaohs...of that you can be sure.
Get through your classes....count "their" loses....then go back as a Dr.
At which time you can write your current boss up for being an asshole to you, the customer, and get him yelled at or possibly fired by "the big boys!"
Hang in Doc!......You know you rule!
