Answer 14

At a restaurant that made sandwiches Wayyyyyyyyy before Subway opened. It was the same idea. I loved the job, it was fun and easy. Unfortunately, I was the only person working there who was white and the cooks and bussers and sandwich people didn't let me forget it. About a year and a half after working there, I was called into the office by the owner who told be a few of the people who worked there said I had been going around telling people they were "g*y", but using the not so nice version of the word. She wrote me up and gave me a stern talking to. I cried thru the whole thing because none of it was true but I had no way to prove it. They wanted me gone. It was horrible. I remember walking back into the kitchen when it was over and one of the bussers winked at me and laughed and said why don't you quit now before we get you fired. I did quit a few days later. So, there was my first job. It was my first brush with racism against a white person.
