Hey,

I work at publix now but the pay is kind of low. I really like the job but I would like to cut back on my hours and find another job that pays like 10.00 an hour. Any ideas. I thought about the food business but at most places you have to be 18 to work there. Thanks for your ideas.

I thinks it's 18 to transport alcohol from the bar to the table, 21 to serve it. Try busboy.

Will they hire me for that job? Where should I apply like a big resturant or a family owned restraunt?

Go where the action is. Better tips. Who knows you may just meet a connection to a better paying job.

I know a 18 hear old bartender at Chili's ....? She serves me  ;D

Hey Njoutlaw88,
If you can find something else at Publix STAY!  They are a super company to work for, I know a few people that started young and retired at 35-40 years old.  Now would'nt that be nice.  And you can move around.

I hear Chilli's is a good place to work too, but I guess some are better than others.

dude dont work for a family business. its a dead end job unless your the owner. usually crappy benefits with no room for improvement. i know. i've been stuck in one for 20 years.
(but at least i get to talk to you guys during work).

Try a bar back at a good bar. A bar back it where you make sure the bartenders are all set up and constantly filled up. They give you some of their tips!

Hey Eworm how about "leave the kid alone and mind ur own business thread!"


hey NJ i was just wondering who u were im right over the river from u... shoot me a pm if u dont wanna tell me ur name.

NJ, Good luck on the job hunt. its good to see kids trying to better them self. Can you sell !! if so, PM me with your number

i too would like some suggestions also but im a tad younger than him :-[

I worked at publix, but eventualy told them to shove it after only giving me 4 hours a week, two on saturday (1-3) and two on sunday (12-2) basically ruining my day for a measly 20 bux, which I can make in an hour mowing lawn or washing car. Just go to your local shopping centers and apply, places like carvel, baskin robins, blockbuster, hollywood video, and all those other places u pass by everyday are usually very easy jobs.

I think you've already been round the horn with this query before didn't ya? Just different words?

Publix sucks! I worked there for 5 days and called in for two of them.

Actually, I was trying to help the kid. Maybe I should have PM'ed him, my bad.

Kid go goverment. Im retiring at 54 with full benefits. And thats if i do 30 years ill retire at 48 if i want also. There is really noithing like goverment work.P/m Ill get you some tips.

What do you do for the gov't?

Miami Dade Corrections  

Oh yea somebody at the poker run told me that. What kind of credentials do you have to have to get a job there?

an unlimited supply of "WHOOP-ASS" CANS

That's not the kind I was thinking of!  ;D Lol

Sell what? :)

Publix is easy but they just piss me off sometimes. They gave me 8 hours just because I asked for saturday off. Also some girl told my boss I wasnt working hard enough so they keep calling me to the front.

I just looked at your site. You sell phones thats cool. I didnt know what you ment when you said "can you sell" lol.

I would really like to get a government job as a second job because you get great benefits.

Note:

Don't believe the salary section its more because of our union contracts. But If you are in good physical shape I would look into the Fire Dept.

More often than not a lot of guys I work with have busnesses on the side. All the money they make with the dept. goes toward retirement. I'm looking into something like that myself.

Yea I can sell? Why do you need anybody?

I might have another job lined up. IF you know of anything in the bradenton area let me know.
