Took me 6 months to realize I was folding box lids wrong at my first retail job

Found out my first job paid me below minimum wage legally

That one shift where I got THREE compliments in one day and almost cried

Took me 3 hours to count a single drawer of change at the ice cream shop

Tried to return a shirt without a receipt and got the third degree from the manager
