I was previously working at a restaurant, but got fired because I was too "inexperienced." The restaurant gig paid pretty good, but I really hated it. Now I just want a job where I can put in 15-20 hours at max, but I still want a decent salary. I was thinking bank teller, but I don't really know. Anyone got any suggestions or advice.

The money was pretty damm good though, but I really dreaded it. Some of the customers were cool and understood that I wasn't a professional waiter or something, but you had the others that talked down to you and would ridicule for small mistakes. You also have to have an "outgoing" personality to be a waiter, and I'm not really that type of person.

I worked in a deli for awhile and it was rough trying to do all that for people who think everything is given to them birthright. I was working in a rich neighborhood so a bunch of highschool freshman came in acting like they own the place, throwing pennies and stuff like that and spilling stuff all over. Food is difficult to deal with too. I got so sick of lettuce, cheese, and deli meat that I lost like 15 lbs cause I hated dealing with food. I did meet some of the greates people, as well as hear great stories working during the night shift on Friday/Saturday nights, but it was rough and I will never do it again.
