Definitely worth all of the hard work that goes into it, and it makes you realize that there are other kinds of payment than a check at the end of the week.

And no, I will never, ever forget my first structure fire for many reasons.

Job: Cashier at large Texas grocery store chain: H.E.B.

Pay: $8/hr.

Hrs: Anywhere from 12 (ugh) to 35.

Pros: Got a HUGE break with this job. It's my first job, and I had NO prior work experience. But the HR guy said he liked my personality so he tossed me a checking position, which is normally reserved to people with more work experience. Oh, and this one time at around 11 p.m. (I'm often late/closing shift), this one chick came in wearing a deep v-neck with nothing beneath it (obviously) and had a rather large nip-slip. Interesting night.

Cons: I get to deal with all the tards that do their bulk grocery shopping at like 12 a.m. That, and monotony.

PS: I actually really like my bosses. They're all nice people. So are my fellow employees. All in all, a good gig.
