Retail is just as bad. I worked in retail for most of the time I was in highschool and uni, and it's the same thing - crabby customers, long periods of standing, shitty cleaning duties, fuckwit managers. Shifts vary so much, I remember pulling doubles at my first job, where I'd start at 6am and finish at around 8pm.
I waitressed briefly, which was awful, and I also worked as an admin assistant for a large bank - I worked from 8-6 three days a week in a basement with no windows doing the most boring job known to mankind. In the winter time I wouldn't even get to see the sun as I worked through my lunch breaks.
It doesn't matter what industry you're in, part time and entry level work blows. And I agree that it's good for kids to gain perspective - I owe my strong work ethic and good people skills to these shitty jobs.
