I worked at a Regal Cinema when I was 16 for a year, so I guess that counts. There was a lot of monotony, but the experience still managed to be relatively interesting for my younger self. And I got to participate in a different social circle outside of my school.
My favorite times were cleaning out the theaters with the other guys, who were slightly older and would sometimes discuss abandoned houses they wanted to explore. And I remember optimizing how to rip and count movie tickets, having authority over who can go into the theaters, coordinating with other employees, counting inventory. The endless minutes I waited for the clock to slowly tick forwards so I could leave... It was a very memorable experience. In a strange way I kind of miss it.
It's kind of funny how the amount of money I made there over a year is like a stock market fluctuation over a single day now.
