My first real summer job after paper routes at 16 was as a weekend janitor at a restaurant.
My first weekend on the job, I did such a great job, they fired the regular week guy and gave me his job.
What got me the gig was he was just a lazy ass guy. Didn’t do much ‘cleaning’ at all.
The women’s restroom was atrocious. It smelled awful. All he ever did was just empty the trash can. The men’s room wasn’t any better.
Since they opened to the outside, I took a water hose and connected it to our 80 gallon hot water tank and just hosed everything down after spraying it with industrial strength 409-type cleaner.
The waitresses were ecstatic. They had never seen it so clean in years and years.
They told the manager that he should hire me full time, so he did!.................
That’s how it’s done. Hard work and ingenuity.
