I had Taco Bell for a late dinner tonight. As I was staring back into the kitchen area, I noticed how a lot of things have changed since I worked at Taco Bell, my high school job. It was back in the 80's. I remembered my stating salary was $3.41 per hour. Crazy huh?
While I was working at Taco Bell, they slowly transition to the crappy food that it is now. I'm not sure why I still eat there, with La Nopalera around the corner where I can get authentic Mexican food for a cheap price. Before, we use to make almost everything in the store: ground the beef, fried the tortilla shells, grilled the steak and chicken, pressure cook the beans, etc. But now all of it is pre-made at some factory and shipped to the stores.
With that being said, it was still fun times working with good friends, and a good way to break into the labor force, learning how to work for a paycheck. Of all the positions that I worked there, my favorite was cashier, because I enjoyed talking to people. I didn't understand it at the time, but later in life, I realized that that was a huge indicator of what type of jobs I would enjoy.
I highly suggest any teenagers reading this blog to work at some fast food place or restaurant just for the experience.
I am grateful for my experience at Taco Bell.
