A pleasure to read and reminisce about some of my early jobs too - when I was 16 I worked as a petrol-pump attendant at my friend’s dad’s garage (this really ages me!) - I checked oil and tyres too, and washed windscreens. It taught me so much about people and their idiosyncracies and yes, customer service. And that you can’t choose your customers, so make the best of it.
Saturday, holiday and student jobs seem to be harder to find these days, at least here in Germany and I expect in the UK. Too much red tape. But my son had some interesting experiences delivering breakfast rolls and pizzas!
