One of the most popular places for teenagers to find summer jobs is the local mall. While it may be convenient, it's important to be careful not to spend you whole paycheck during your break. Here are some tips for avoiding that and other mall downfalls this summer.
1. Pack a Lunch
It might seem convenient for a mall employee to run up to the food court and grab a quick meal for lunch or dinner. However, the typical food court grease is not only an unhealthy choice, but the cost of a quick meal adds up! Instead of wasting money and calories on a greasy burger and a heap of salty fries, pack a sandwich and some chips from home. Also, bring a bottle of water and keep it in the back room instead of running out for a $1.25 soda from the machine in the mall. In the long run, your body and your wallet will thank you.
