Boss demands 16-year-old employee make him coffee every morning, employee complies but uses uncleaned mugs, boss quickly finds out: ‘He never asked me again’

Your first job always consists of doing stuff you never expected to be doing for money. A teen's first job is usually either a barista, a store clerk, or something in between, but when you're young and desperate for money, what you do while on that job may vary.

When an employer hires a teen who has never worked before, they know they can ask anything of them, and almost certainly get away with it, even if those tasks are most definitely not part of the job description. They can ask them to clean the floors, run errands, work overtime, or our personal favorite–go make coffee, and that desperate teen will do it all without saying a word. They need the money, they need the experience, so they will do what it takes, even if that means making their entitled boss coffee every single day.

At least, that's what most teens do. Others, like the one in the story below, are less keen to be exploited by their bosses, and they are not afraid to do something about it.
