For me it was Hardees, at $2.35 an hour (1979). But I got $2.50 credit towards my lunch if I worked a full 8 hour day. Just enough to cover a burger and a milkshake.

Worked at a Marriott flipping burgers for $1.35/hr in ‘74. Ate at the end of my shift and bought stock through the ESOP which I used to pay for community college. I didn’t have an apple but listened to an AM radio. Paid cash for rusty cars. Life was good!
Life is good!
