Lauren Rogers

Where do you work and how long have you been working there?

“I work at Any Given Sundae. I started about a month ago. I am also starting a new job at British Swim School as a swim instructor too!”

What does working there entail? 

“Basically, I take orders and ring them up. We have cones, cups, mix ins, milkshakes, and smoothies. I also fill the orders. I am the one behind the counter who scoops and makes orders.”

How did you get this job or why did you get this job?

“I knew I wanted to work at an ice cream place, especially during summer. I went in and filled out an application and got a call that they accepted me a few days later.”

How many hours do you work per week? 

“I only work one right now, which is four hours. I am hoping once school ends I’ll be up to 15 hours a week. I will also have my second job.”

How do you balance work and school?

“I prioritize school, but also have to keep in mind that my job is important too. I try to get my schoolwork done earlier in the week if I know something will be due.”

What has having a job like this as a teenager taught you?

“I have learned responsibility, maturity, and how to work with people.”

What do you do with the money from this job?

“I save a majority of it. However I do use some of it when I’m going out with friends.”

Do you ever miss out on social events because of work?

“No, not really.” 

What’s the craziest thing that has happened to you while working at this job? Whether that be with a customer or a coworker?

“Ben Roethlisberger comes in pretty often!”
