If there is one thing I’ve learned as a teenager working at KFC/Taco Bell, it’s that not screwing around and getting things done, or work ethic, really pays off. I’ve seen numerous kids my age get fired because they just didn’t want to work. Why do they even get a job? I for instance, don’t freak out, yell at the managers (they can fire you) or leave when I’m supposed to work. Here’s some helpful tips.

1. Don’t want to work? To bad, ask for it off beforehand or just don’t work, you’re getting paid!

2. If you don’t show up for work, at least call in and feign illness.

3. Managers are always right, with that attitue you can usually get them to deal with angry customers.

4. If there’s nothing to do, at least act like you’re on your way to do something.

Now do I follow these? No I just do my job, BUT some people who just aren’t going to work no matter what could at least follow these. My managers enjoy my working there (or that’s what they tell me) and I usually can just scrape by without losing it.
