The Best and Worst Parts of Working

So, like a lot of teenagers nowadays I have a job. I've been doing the same exact thing for 2 years...working in a restaurant. It's really not a bad job, but sometimes I wish I did something else for a living. I need the money...but not badly enough to sell myself out on the streets. So, here are my top 5 perks and my top 5 least favorite things about work.

The Best:
  1. I get to work with my friends....I mean c'mon, isn't that great in itself? Most of them are people I see at school. And plus it's not like they're people I hate, because then I probably wouldn't be able to survive a day of work.
  2. Pay is pretty good....So what if I only make minimum wage, I'm just happy that it recently went up; and yes and extra 75 cents per hour does make a difference. Plus, I get tips, which are usually pretty good.
  3. I see a lot of my friends...Hey, it's a popular place to eat. When friends come in to eat, it makes the day a lot better.
  4. It's really not a lot of work and it's easy....We're open for 11 to 3 on Mondays through Thursdays, 11 to 8 on Fridays and Saturdays and closed on Sundays. So I usually work between 4 and 5 hours a day, which really isn't that much. Plus it's a simple and easy job, I mean really, even a caveman could probably do it.
  5. Meeting people....Sometimes really, really cool people some in and eat, which is awesome.
The Not So Great:
  1. IT'S HOT....I'm not kidding, I wish I was, but I'm not...it can get to over 100 degrees in there...and it's worse in the kitchen, which really makes me regret my decision to wear jeans most days.
  2. There are so many people....Most days it gets crazy busy around 12. Ugh, I'm so glad I'm not claustrophobic (or however you spell that).
  3. Tourists....a description isn't really needed for this one.
  4. Stupid people in general...Grrrrr.....you make me want to create a medicine that will cure stupidity, Example: the other day someone asked me if corned beef was beef or pork...wtf?...oh, and are ya'll magnetically attracted to dirty tables or something? Just wait one minute so I can clean it for you.
  5. Getting up for work...I know 9:30 really isn't that early, but I really like to sleep in on the weekends and during the summer.
