I worked afternoons and was all alone. I took orders, cooked(burgers,fries,hotdogs, grilled cheese, soups and sandwiches, made the Pharmacists dinner every night and cleaned up the place before I left. I got to make the ice cream sodas, milk shakes and malts as well as in those days we made the cherry cokes and lemon cokes using coke from the fountain and adding the syrup for flavoring. They were the best! Sometimes it was pretty crazy busy and a difficult job for one person to do but I got through it 4 nights a week!MaryLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761106648353224037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776440976529170398.post-47871311897005545172011-07-26T17:27:03.977-07:002011-07-26T17:27:03.977-07:00LOL Lori...

There was usually had a couple of shifts to work each day. You could start working in the store when you were about 13, with lots of supervision of course. We opened at 11am and closed at 6pm. It was a public beach so you would get hundreds of visitors, plus the people who had cottages in and around the Beach area on Georgian Bay in a place called Wasaga Beach..<br />Oh the great times we had.. Oh to have those days back again.

People would just ignore you and walk by, never say "Hi" or "bye." It's like I didn't exist. Any attempts at conversation were met with dead stares. My last temp job I found myself sitting in my car, at the curb, eating my lunch in subzero weather and thinking, "There has to be something better than this."<br /><br />J.Julie Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880895598847092028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776440976529170398.post-33529382792215833812011-07-26T12:55:06.157-07:002011-07-26T12:55:06.157-07:00Oh poor Vanetta!
