Note to parents with teens looking for Summer work... [View all]

Yesterday a 17 YO girl came in to work the counter here at Donut Heaven .
It's simple work, put on gloves, pour coffee, put donuts crullers, bear claws in bag or box, take their money and repeat as needed. No heavy lifting, no kitchen work. Occasionally mop if you miss the cup and pour coffee on the floor. That's the job. Pays minimum + $500 untraceable cash bonus for job well done on last day of work, usually August 1. Basically, gives the full timers a couple weeks off.

Anyway...girl comes in, I'm back there showing her the bathrooms for employees, and she's texting. I show her the donut traying area, and by golly she's texting. I took her out to the front and tried in vain TO SHOW HER HOW THE CASH REGISTER WORKS, but apparently the emergency with her friend Becca was way too much important for her to understand the job, and how to collect the same funds that would pay for her phone.

She didn't get the job. Maybe Becca will come in......
