What was your very first job with a non-family member (even extended family) ?

At age 11, Shakey's Pizza in Orlando "hired" me to make pizzas (probably illegal but I digress) in exchange for plenty of soda and pizzas to be consumed by me. At age 11, that was a hell of a good deal LOL Of course, I could not serve alcohol and had no desire to do so. I even learned how to cook pizzas in their commercial ovens and how to make dough, stow perishables in the fridge, and chop up meats and veggies for the pizzas. I learned how to wash dishes well too. This was back 1969-1970, before Walt Disney World transmogrified the area.

I vividly remember an embarrassing mistake I made (why I did this, I have no clue, temporary juvenile insanity). I spit in the ice cube container for the sodas, under the spigots. OMG just the idea of doing that today horrifies me, but alas. Of course, my "manager" made me dump out all the ice and scrub it really clean with some bacteria-killing stuff. The things you do when you're really young and "stupid".

Ok, your turn. Yes, an embarrassing incident too (joking)
