Not the best place, but it's a start. Develop a good attitude even with extremely annoying customers. That'll help when you're finally old enough to serve at a restaurant that has alcohol. That's where you'll make the most with the least experience. Particularly when you're trying to pay for college or something like a trade school. BUT. If you find you can't handle a job at McDonald's straight away that's fine take your time and get ahold of the ropes. If after a period of months you find that you're still struggling maybe food and service isn't the best way for you personally to start. However, for the love of all things holy, don't think because you haven't been fired mean you're competent or even remotely "good at your job". Many employees seem to have this attitude when the sole reason for this may be a place being understaffed or sheer unavailability of workers for a particular day. [spoiler]Ok, maybe this last bit was me venting a bit about my personal experience but it doesn't change the likelyhood of encountering someone like this. Anywho, good luck![/spoiler]
