First Job! Richmond Bus Loop Coffee Shop Waitress! My first jobs were not great, yet the prospect when you are a teenager of earning your onw money is very exciting! To that end, I took a job as a waitress at the Richmond Bus Loop coffee shop.  This was a good business idea, counting on captured customers who had ten or fifteen minutes to waste between city and suburban buses. I ignored the fact that the place seemed to have a huge staff turn over. I learned to make filter coffee from a famous company called Dickson's Coffee, and how to stick a small smile on my face on a permanent basis. I was a Working Person! I had a hideous white uniform, which buttoned over my sexier cute dresses worn to attract boys that I would never want to see me in my minimum wage labourer outfits. Didn't women's magazines stress the need for mystery and romance and glamour? At age 17, I looked like a frump and a Has Been. Yet I was enough of a realist to know that Canada then supplied hudreds of jobs like this, and this was just the beginning of my Work History, which would in a few decades include: keypunch operator comptometer operator school photographer's assistant dishwasher/waitress/cashier film extra charity fundraiser English teacher supermarket cashier Tax Revenue BC manager BC Highways Department flag-girl Steveston Fish Canneries fish cutter And much much more!
