Ahh! I'm turning 18 right in the middle of summer exams, so I can get a couple of months working in there :colondollar:

that's what I wish I got!! People tend to tell me to keep the change but I have to give it to charity, which I know is the moral thing to do but still..

Most people to tip I suppose! Unless you work somewhere like a chain, in which case it may not be so much :rolleyes:

If so, that's below the minimum wage...
