I was in high school, and I took a job in an ice cream parlor. I did it because the girl I was really interested in, in my grade 11 class, was working at the shoe store across from this ice cream parlor. I got hired as an ice cream scooper, so I'd sample ice cream to people with little sticks before they'd try it. They'd throw their gum on the floor.

At the end of the day, the woman that owned the store said to me, "Listen, before you leave tonight, you've got to get down and scrape all the gum off the floor." That was going to be not good for me because this girl was looking at me, and I didn't want to see her on my knees with a, you know, a scraper.

I said to the owner of the store, "You hired me as a scooper, not a scraper." She said, "No, I hired you to do whatever I tell you to do. You're my employee." I said, "I'm not going to do that. I know what I was hired for."

She said, "How about this, you're fired." So it was the only day I ever worked for anybody. I immediately understood how this whole thing works. I can't even understand someone having that power over me, and I never went back. I'm so happy for that woman giving me that jolt.
