V THE POLYESTER INVASIO STUDENTS WORK HARD FOR THE MONEY fter the one-thirty bell where do stu- dents go? Home to talk on the phone about the latest news? Or do they go home and eat and watch some television? Or possibly do they go home and sleep? Well a majority of high school Juniors and Seniors go straight to work after school. They go home, make a quick change into a bunk polyester uniform and head to work. McDonalds and Carl's Junior were two of the most frequent places that Eldorado students work or worked. Some other places are K-Mart, 1 L.A. Yogurt, Sunrise Seven, and Little Cae- sars Pizza. Most of these jobs are only part time during the school year. The part time employee usual- ly works 4-8 hours per day, and about 4-5 days a week. The pay for thesejobs is another story. Minimum wage is 55.35 per hour. That's not much for the work that some of these people do. But the biggest complaint is yet to come! Toni Monsoor, Senior used to work gr-3-If . 1 at McDonalds. She told us that, Wear- ing that stupid uniform made me feel like an old lady! The uniforms that employees wear are the biggest com- plaints. The uniform usually consists of a pair of polyester pants, a shirt and maybe even an apron or hat. Most of the fast food chains require that you wear this uniform. Joshua Bernat, Ju- nior, didn't seem to think so. l'le thinks, I didn't feel a difference between my uniform and my normal clothes. He used to work at Carl's Junior. Trishun Jack- son, Junior, is also an employee of Carl's Junior. She said that. Wearing a polyester uniform is gross. lt's always hot and sticky and hard to move in. Michelle Digregorio, Senior, is a former employee of Vons Grocery Store. Her biggest complaint was that, They aren't Vogue! Laura Merrill, Junior, used to work at Long John Silvers. She told us that, Wear- ing a polyester uniform gives me a feeling of ants crawling all over my body. lt's the worst feeling in life.
