I worked at MackDonalds in Irmo when I was 16. Mom drove me to the restaurant to get an application after I asked for $20 one summer.
Laborer for my father's construction company in Rock Hill. 1977-81 during summers of my high school and college years. Hard work but I learned a lot which came in handy once I became a homeowner. He only did commercial jobs like banks, schools, churches and a ton of work out at Celanese. Lots of concrete pouring. I was especially valuable because I had a driver's license. Most of my coworkers had DUIs. They cashed their paychecks at the red dot ABC store. 
Blockbuster video in the mid 90's, and I did it all. The register. The floor giving customers my expert movie reviews. Rearranging displays. Spending hours rewinding returned movies. Calling people at home to remind them of their unpaid late fees! Doing this I got cursed out more than any 15 year old kid making minimum wage should.

I started working in an upscale women's dress shop when I was 14. When I turned 16 Belk hired me and I worked there through high school and college. The Belk people were really good to me. This was when you actually got waited on when you went into a department store.
