Default Re: What low paying job did you have before poker?(or still have)

I used to work for KFC making $300 a month if i was lucky... working full time.

I also worked fast-food fried chicken. It was actually fun, since a couple of my HS buddies worked there, and the store lost money just about every month, meaning it was empty a lot. We would seriously go from about 1:30/2-4:30 without a single customer some days, leaving plenty of time to goof off.

The lowest paying job I had, however, was working as a server at an old folks' home. They got dinner every night, selecting one of a couple choices of main dish, along with salad, dessert, etc choices, and we'd bring the food out to them. It was nice because the hours were essentially 4-7 and we could each set our own schedule. It was not nice when you'd walk by Olga and hear her mutter, "Oh, I just wet myself," or when you'd ask where Jackie was, and hear that she had to go to the hospital. And then never hear from her again.

I quit when, after a full year, instead of the "standard" quarter raise, they gave me a nickel raise and refused to budge.
