Making sandwiches and selling smokes and lotto tickets a tiny deli in the burbs. $4.00/hr. Even back then at 13 years old I knew I was getting stiffed.

Had some friends who worked the counter at a pharmacy and primarily sold scratchers. Loved hearing about all the superstitions they had with the tickets.
