In reply to the discussion: Joann Fabrics and Crafts files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy [View all]Kennah
(14,369 posts)46. My first W2 job was retail [I delivered newspapers before]
It was a regional hardware store in the DC area, Hechinger. They promoted themselves as "The World's Most Unusual Hardware Store."
It was 1983, and I was in high school, so part time was fine for me. I worked in the garden department, and all of us were part time students in either college or high school. Only the department heads, supervisors, and managers were full time.
