  My first job was being a cashier at a local produce store in East Meadow. I was 15 and in 9th grade. My Earth Science partner worked there so she told me to go. Oddly enough, she was an assistant manager at the age of 15... Goes to show how weird this place was. I worked there for about&nbsp;3 weeks. I got mono and strep and obviously couldn't work. So, they fired me. I was peeved but it was alright because they paid terribly and there really weren't any breaks. It was all a shifty&nbsp; place to begin with and the managers / owners didn't really speak English so that didn't help. After all, we got paid in cash so that should tell you something about the place.
