Anyone else, Oh, yeah, I was a Carnie for a
summer because I really wanted to get an iPod. Yeah.
I worked at a fair in the like Mutual of
Omaha Safari Booth where we set up these like animatronic
animals and walk people through.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
It was very bizarre, the entire thing.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah, did you have to like, did you have a script?
Do you have to follow?
Speaker 4 (00:51):
No? We just would be like, hey, you start here
and there, don't don't let the door hit you on
the way out.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You're plugging the animals, and just sit there.
Speaker 5 (00:58):

Speaker 1 (00:59):
We just go play games all day, like other little
Carni games. It was great summer job. What about you,
Danielle summer job?
Speaker 6 (01:04):
Yeah? I used to work at my friend's boutique. I
did that for a while, but I didn't really get paid.
I got paid in clothes because that's how she paid me.
And then I think I worked.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Was it a nails hun?
Speaker 6 (01:15):
I worked somewhere weird, like just helping around in the back.
Might have been a nail salon. I don't remember. It
was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Summer jobs, God, those those days.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Can you imagine going back to like if you were
in high school whatever and you had summer job time.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Well it was so fun though, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I know it was fun. What about you? Straight in
eight oh? I had several.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
So my brother worked at a feed store, So every
once a week they would have a big truck come
in that had to be unloaded. So my brother, Matt,
and I would get paid to unload a truck full
of dog food or whatever. And then I also sold newspapers.
That was a newspaper, boy, I was a news.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
How did that work out?
Speaker 7 (01:54):
So?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Actually? Not bad?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
You know you would stand in front of a public
place and sell newspapers for twenty five cents and you
know it's you know, it was a summer job.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, I mean it was fun. It was zero responsibility.
It was great.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Hell yeah, as we learned earlier, Garrett was a lifeguard
at the country club.
Speaker 7 (02:11):
Oh yeah, that was the pool to be at because
obviously everyone had the money there. But outside of just
doing the normal lifeguarding duties, there would be the private
parties you would lifeguard at, so mom and all her
friends could get drunk around the pool and you're in
charge of watching the kids.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So that's where I would.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Make a really a buttload of money during the summer.
I would do like two or three parties a day
and walk away with like four hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
God, we didn't make any money like that, yeah at
all during the summer.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
What about you, scary?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I worked at the Palm Shore Beach and Cabana Club,
and sheep said, by Brooklyn, very unique. Now this is
a place that had, you know, pools, but it had
a summer camp in there, and then all the women
would play canasta and majong and all the guys would
be gambling in real poker games, which is like, was
this legal? But it was, Brooklyn, so he turned he
(03:03):
turned the other cheek. Brooklyn and I worked behind the
deli counter.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
In the morning.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I would pour the coffee and I would scoop ice
cream desserts and jellos. And then I would be the
grill sergeant. I'd make omelets and eggs on the flat
iron grill. I would be you know, slice cold cuts.
I learned how to clean the slicing machine and make sandwiches.
And for like fifteen hours a day, and for like
five dollars an hour, I got mad a good money
advantage of Oh yeah, okay, it.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Was probably not taking advantage five dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That that's I don't know child labor laws.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
What would they would say? It's Brooklyn, there are no
child labor laws. It was crazy, but you know what,
I was fourteen years old. They threw me behind the
counter and they start working everybody Scotty Bee.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Summer jobs.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
I worked at a bagel store, a radio station, and
a five and dime where my boss beat me up
when I asked him for a raise.

beats someone up because they asked for a raise.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
Well, you got I got paid cash under the table
back then, because I was like fourteen or thirteen or fourteen.
