if you don't mind working in the sun, or doing some physical labor, get a job at a lawn service. I work at one, and I don't do any actual lawn work. I just stay at the place from 2-7 or 2-8 monday through friday and when the trucks come in with the people who actually do the work, I just unload all the weed eaters, tillers, blowers, lawn mowers, etc. off the trucks and put them in a security storage container. and then if they need it, I take the trucks to a gas station which is like 1/10 of a mile away and fill them up with the company card. it is extremely easy and I get $8.70/hr (that's what I started at). it's laid-back (family business) and out of the 5 or 6 hours I'm there, I actually work about 1 or 2 total time. the only hard part is unloading huge ass tree branches and stuff that they have cut down. but it's easy nonetheless.working retail is alright; I worked at Media Play for like 4 months, but some customers are such assholes I can't stand it. and the thing about Media Play (and Best Buy since they're owned by the same company) is that the managers are pressured by the corporate offices to sell certain items (a quota) so they pressure you to do it too, which is really annoying. it gets tiring walking up to people and asking "would you like to buy a ________?" it's pretty relaxing working inside though, but the pay was kinda shitty ($6.25). I've also worked at Walgreens ($7.00) and Sam's Club ($8.35), and the best by far has been the lawn service.

fuck best buy and fuck all of best buy's employees. they are the biggest anal sore in the retail world. i will never again buy anything more than an off the counter product, such as a dvd or cd, from best buy. i go in the store at any given time of day, be it 8:30 on a tuesday, or 2:00 on a saturday, and there is not more than 2 registers open, with about 35 employees walking around aimlessly, all about 17 years old! what do you people do there? are you paid to mingle with your buddies? it's like fuckin day care. i could be walking around with a wad of cash in my hands, and nobody would know what to do. customer service is non-existent, and if you do get some, all they try to do is sell you the service plan. i made the mistake of building and buying a computer from best buy a year ago. biggest mistake of my life. so basically, fuck best buy. go to circuit city. they actually have employees who WORK. if this is what it's like nation wide, then i could see why you would want to work at best buy.
