Haha, oh, I've walked out on a few jobs.

When I was 11, I was the paperboy for my neighborhood. Being my first job I was excited and didn't ask many questions about payment. So I go and deliver my papers, wondering when I get paid. Turns out, I have to go out and collect the money myself from the people at their doors. Sure, it was only two dollars, but people avoided me like the plauge. For a month's work of getting up early in the morning and delivering the paper to 100+ houses, I got about maybe $10. So I just quit.

When I was 15 I worked for a Mexican restaurant. I was a bus boy so I didn't expect an extravagant job. I found out a few weeks later that this place didn't have a non-smoking section. I went home every day smelling like tacos and smoke. They were never very clear with me about my schedule, and so in return, I wasn't clear with them about when I was going in. The last night I worked there was a New Years Eve (I can't remember which). I just sort of never showed up there again. I'm not upset about it as I felt that being there was detrimental to my well-being.

The last place I walked out on was at an amusement park. It was hell. I worked games and at least at this job I was getting paid minimum wage. (As a bus boy, you get paid even less then waiters/waitresses and you're supposed to get up to minimum by how much the waiters/waitresses feel you deserve from their tips). The managers at this place weren't much older than I was and acted like complete total dicks. I went and found a job as a gondolier and once that job started I never went back to the amusement park.

Since then I've had two jobs that I left on good terms. One was the gondola ride place and the other was driving a shuttle for my school. I'm currently at a business repairing smart phones and what not. I don't think I ever expect to stay at a place long enough to climb the managerial ladder. I like experiencing something new every few years. I actually might get a job at my school's Sustainability Office sometime in the near future and I'm very excited about that.
