Cheese worker Name: Quanesha Johnson Age: 17 Hometown: Mountlake Terrace High School: Mountlake Terrace High (senior) Occupation: Everything at Chuck E. Cheese Pros: "The store managers are young, hip, cool, and they're pretty easygoing. They work around our schedules, and it's close by my house. It's a good first job." Cons: "Things I don't like about my job? Oh my, where do I start? First, I hate doing tickets. That's the worst here at CEC. You wouldn't believe how many kids and adults can't count or don't know how tickets work. Doing the boys bathroom is so gross! It will make you puke! One time some kid pooped in the urinal, and I was so outraged because it was my first day on the job, and I had to get it out. I was mad, but everyone thought it was funny." Summertime and the living ain't easy. Herald photographer Kevin Nortz captures the essence of summer jobs in "Job on a Stick," a 12-part series running every Thursday through the summer in Good Life.
