Want Fries With That?

I need a job. After working all summer, I got very spoiled and I need to be spoiled again with a weekly paycheck.

This is all I've (with the help of a friend) come up with:

Fast Food Place - bad for my skin, and even if I could get free food, I wouldn't eat it or feed that shit to my sisters anyway

Gap or Old Navy - employee discount, but this girl's sister told me the Gap treats employees like at any moment they're going to steal and they check your bag before you leave, and you're supposed to wear Gap or Gap-like clothes when you're working.

Hostess/Waitress - possibly tips, possible down-time to do studying, possibly free food

Front desk chick at a place like Chelsea Piers - probably wouldn't get anything free except use of the place, but nothing for my sisters, but lots of downtime for studying.
Here's my criteria:
  1. Nothing that involves a uniform or polyester
  2. Time for studying and homework huge plus (doorwoman job would be perfect, except I'm too young)
  3. Has to be a place where my sisters can walk in when they need me
  4. If I get a discount, then it has to be a place where I'd go - a job at like Ann Taylor or Williams Sonoma would be retarded
  5. I can't morally object to it (like McDonald's or Curves)

Babysitting would totally bring in more money than one of these retail jobs but I'd need to do a LOT of babysitting, and at night, when the kid was asleep so I could do homework.

I'm thinking that waiting until I'm 16 (in like two weeks) is a good idea because then I'll be allowed to work later and more hours. But I want to use those weeks to find something and get all hired up and everything.

You morally object to Curves? A workout place for women? Why is that?

Because I'm very much pro-choice. http://www.snopes.com/business/alliance/curves.asp

Wow. I don't think that he ought to go about donating company profits to a group like that, it borders on donating to religious organizations. I imagine he doesn't have many shareholders, or they probably would have disagreed. Oh, and working at fast food isn't the worst job you can have, My first job was at Taco Bell and I was assistant manager less than 6 months after I started. I do agree that a place that expects you to wear their clothes is kind of stupid. Especially The Gap. It's not like you're rich and just getting a job cuz mommy and daddy say so.
