I put in my time at Dairy Queen in the late 90s. Lots of good lessons about customer service, working fast, how to have a good attitude and also aspire to leave the job, how to swap stories and jokes, what (rightly or wrongly) makes someone think you are or are not worth fifty cents an hour more to them. I was fortunate that I did have a path to a better summer job, to be clear. Working there as an adult trying to save up for an apartment rental would be much harder.
