I worked in a FotoMat booth for a year. I was a manager/supervisor of 4 other FotoMat booths at 16.
I also worked at a video rental store for 2 years.
The FotoMat experience taught me how to be a manager and be responsible for other people. It gave me leadership experience at a young age and I somehow always found myself in some sort of leadership position despite not being part of school leadership council and the like.
The video rental store taught me to appreciate the diversity of people's movie choices. I watched a lot of bad movies for a long time because people who I respected had different tastes. I learned to love foreign and cult films because of it. I also learned to appreciate all the names and jobs in the credits. I learned to also stay for the credits despite the Ferris Bueller reasons.
