My first job when I moved to Sioux Falls was a cook at KFC on 21st and Minnesota. Over the years I have still stopped by for my chicken and macaroni salad fix. Many of the people I met at the place while working there I still know. My manager at the time owns a successful Subway franchise in the area, one of my co-workers owns a successful bridal/wedding store in Sioux Falls. Several of my other co-workers have managed and worked at other well known bars/restaurants around town.

My roommate at the time used to love that I worked there, because I would bring home leftovers (yes, employees were allowed to take leftovers for FREE). He would get mad if I didn’t bring corn on the cob home. I still can’t believe I worked for around $4 an hour. One of the more memorable shifts was when a co-worked decided to drop acid before his shift, and I couldn’t get him to stop staring at the grease dripping down the window in the big cooker.

    My first job at 14 was fry cook. At 15 I bought my first car for $500. Lots of fond memories. Important to me but boring to 19 year olds at home not working and playing video games.

    Thanks for sharing. Except, I now have to go out for a 3 piece KFC original recipe.
