Best: Bank job. I multi tasked and worked in different departments, but mostly as a teller and receptionist. It was also my best paying and had great hours (9-4 or 10-5 Mon-Fri).

Worst: busgirl/waitress at a small family restaurant. The owner was the cheapest dude on the planet. I got screamed at for putting one too many lettuce leaves on a cesar salad. I was often left to waitress the whole restaurant on my own because the owner didn't want to bring in an extra waitress to overlap the hours, and then he'd get pissed off at me when someone would order alcohol and I'd ask him to serve it since I was underage. He tried to get me to do it. My pay was shit and I was sexually harassed constantly (at age 14).
