Jobs for a 16 y/o

So GCSE's coming to an end soon and the 3 month holiday is looming, in which I will be applying for a job somewhere.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to which I should go for? What's the best pay/experience?

I applied for McDonalds the other day - specifically because they sell more during summer and so need more staff, so this summer you would get a lot of hours.

Don't count on getting any more than minimum wage, unless you happen to be lucky enough to live in a good area. Next have a summer sale, so if it's not too late applying for a temp retail job there would be a good idea. I'd also try stuff like cafes. I worked at Next when I was 17 and it's tough, doesn't pay much, but it was an easy job to get when I couldn't get anything else.

To be honest, I know that the pay for maccyD's is one of the best for the lower tier jobs; in my area anyway - was just asking for the sake of perhaps considering other options.

Yeah, from what I understand McDonalds actually pays better than any of my retail jobs did. A few places, like PC World and Carphone Warehouse, sometimes pay a little more but I believe it's harder to get a job there if you have no experience, and I'm not sure if you have any lol

The only damn job you have is to stay in school and refrain from alcohol and tobacco.

I've got work experience, am i able to get in them.

It's possible, but they seem to be quite picky with who they take on, even for temp jobs.

I probably made up my mind, I'll go for ASDA do they accept school leavers
