Through a family friend I got a job as a bag boy at Purity Markets (a popular chain in the Bay Area then). I was 14 and the youngest member of the Retail Clerks Union.

At 17 I became a checker...no scan bars back then. Prices on cans were written on the top with a grease pencil... Produce was weighed at the check stand.

I will never forget my Dad's temper tantrum when he found out that he could no longer declare me as a Dependent to the IRS.
