Some other jobs I had which weren't too successful.

Fruit stand on 180th street & Mohegan Ave. 12 years old. 1st day on job. Customer comes in wants 10 lbs of potatoes. Grabbed a bunch of potatoes and put them on the hanging scale. Scale says 35 lbs of potatoes. Owner didn't like that. First and Last day on job.

Busboy employee in restaurant near the lion house for a day in Bronx Park. Chosen at the beginning of day from 300 children who were corralled in a nearby Bronx Park courtyard. I was one of the lucky ones. Pushing the cart overflowing with dishes and it overturned. P.S. Last day on job.
