Dunkin Donuts. That job is terrible. The morning shifts and sunday mornings are crazy. I mean line out the doors literally. People would wait in line for 20+ minutes for thier food. People must love thier coffee and donuts. And the legend of cops and donuts is true. I was 17. And quit when I got a retail job. Still stressfull, but way better pay. I can't work in customer service again. It is too stressfull.

If you are talking about first paid job, it was a paper round at 14 which pay was varied every week depending on how many pages the paper had and if there were any freebies/leaflets in the paper.
But if you are talking about first real job, then it was a kitchen assistant at 18 and pay was different each depending how many hours I did.

My grandfather's first job was working in a factory that made toys. He drilled the hole in the back end of wooden horses where the tail went.
My first job was tending snakes.

At 12 I worked for myself selling calendars door to door for a home based calendar imprinting business across the street. I sold them from September to December every year and made hundreds of dollars a week. I made 25 cents for every calendar and had to pay 25 cents for them. Eventually I found people were tipping me so I set my price at 75 cents instead of 50 cents and got an additional 25 cent tip. "Did you need extras for gifts?" I would ask and end up doubling and tripling my sales.
