    My first job was Taco Bell. I was paid $1.25 an hour.
    All menu items were 25 cents, except beef burritos were 50 cents.Drinks were 10 cents and 25 cents. We had to pour the hot sauce into little containers and put lids on them. We had to make about 200 on our shift before we could go home. We could eat as much as we wanted and we were allowed to take home 2 food items for each family member.
    I loved working fast food and I will hire almost anyone that worked at a fast food resturant because you have to work your butt off and you have to have patience. Would I do it again, yes.

    My first job was an office assistant and it paid $8.98. I think the minimum wage was like $6.15 or something (it was last summer) and I would definitely do it again, but it was temporary.
