There was a Sears two blocks from home. I went to interview there. They were all set to hire me until they saw I was 16. It's seems there was a 16 year old that screwed things up so bad, they made it a policy never to hire another one.
I was upset, this was so close to home.
Next I took the bus to Flushing to the store, W.T.Grants.
I was hired and I was to work at the lunch counter. My school friend, Patricia (I am still friends with her on FB) worked there. I was to start the following week. I was not thrilled about working at the lunch counter. But it was a job.
Friends I hung around with told me to go to Bestform Foundations in L.I.C. Four of them worked there already.
So I went for an interview with Mr.Bortnik He hired me. While doing the paper work he asked who my beneficiary was. I said my mother, he said do you know what beneficiary means? I said yes. But for the life of me I could not remember what it meant! He hired me any way. YAY
Me at 16 years old
