A few were just bored with the whole process. If Penneys didn't need them. Sears was only a few steps away. Local restaurants and fast food” places hired the most high school students. When going out to eat at Ponderosa, McDonalds or any number of other restaurants, it was not unusual to see a familiar face cheerfully taking orders or cleaning up. But no matter what the job was, it meant money. And money meant work.
