Do like me. Hold out as long as you possibly can. My excuse? College work keeps me too busy for a job.

Go ahead and work. You will enjoy working, but you just need to realize that dealing with people is going to be part of any job.
When I started work, I was afraid of getting fired for being rude to customers, but I wasn't. I worked and I adapted. I went from anti-social to being a pretty good sales person in the space of 2 weeks.
Once you put your mind to it, you can handle the situation. Just be willing to adapt and not freak out over everything being a conspiracy and you'll be fine.

If you act like how you post, then I have $10 that says you'll think the 2 year old asking you for help finding their mom willl be a spy out to kill you...

The work is simple enough that a chimp could do it, so I don't see why they wouldn't hire a high schooler.

So many TFs and awesome video games coming out next year, I had to find a job. (Yes, those are my main concerns as of now.) I just hope that I can pull it off...I doubt it though .
