What is the toughest minimum wage job you have had?

[senseandsensibility]

61. I worked at a private preschool for minimum wage.

I had to supervise dozens of two and three year olds out in the hot sun for hours, cook their lunches, lead art and phonics classes, and best of all, clean their community bathroom every couple of hours. It was a huge room full of tiny potties that all had to be hand scrubbed. I have never worked so hard in my life. Oh, and did I mention I had a teaching credential and a masters degree at the time? Their were no public school teaching jobs available. Of course this job had no paid sick days, no vacation, no benefits of any kind. Even back then, I knew that this was the rightwing's plan for public education if they could privatize it.

Thanks for the thread. We're a hard working bunch. Happy Labor Day!
