In addition to what you listed out, I also shuttle customers around, get/store wheels&tires, drop off/pick up customers cars, etc. | Thats cool, no worries. 
Where do they usually post their openings? Craigslist?

People like to see that you worked at places like McDonald's for a long time not because of teamwork. It's because you were able to put up with an underpaying, boring, tedious, degrading job for so long. It shows that you're up for a task no matter what it is.
When I was doing some hiring for a previous company I worked with, I always kept an eye out for people who worked at a minimum wage job for a significant amount of time. If I ask them about the job and they answer openly and honestly, it shows that they have no ego and a good attitude as well.
Stay at your part-time jobs as long as you can, kids. It can go a long way.

McDonalds is known for their training program/path though, I give them that, people please note that being at a part-time job for a short while and listing it on your resume actually does more harm than help. Generally gives the interviewer an "idea" of what kinda person you are until the interview / during the interview to ask you specific questions

Some people think it makes them look "more experienced" having worked at 5 different places for a year each. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. It only makes you look flaky, and someone who's always looking to jump ship any chance you get. If you only worked at a random job for a few months, leave it out of your resume.

What do you mean by a "significant amount of time"? A year or two? Does it depend on how many days a week you work?

Depends. If you're in high school going into post-secondary, you're probably only working once or twice a week. Having said that, there's no reason for you to be jumping around jobs, unless you came across one with a substantial raise. Which then, you'd be better off to leave the previous job off your resume.
But when I see resumes with like Starbucks - 4 months, McDonalds - 6 months, Hollister - 4 months. Right away I think this person either gets bored easily, has commitment issues, or a combination of both and can't hold a job.
I could very well be wrong, but your resume's all about impression.

Curious how many people here work at a dealership as a lot boy or detailer. I want to go and apply at Morrey Nissan in Burnaby but curious if anyone can chime in on what to expect working as a lot boy. Reason for the desire to work there is its close to BCIT and close to home. No experience in a dealership as well, 3 years at Thrifty Foods and 1 month in Northern Alberta 
Thanks in advance.

I recently worked at a dealership as a summer job. (16 at the time)
I got hooked up from a family friend.
The duties included washing customer cars after maintenance, and the parked them within the lot and wrote down the parking spot number and then sent the keys to the front where it would either be handed to the customer or for a mechanic to work on after a "prewash".
The pay was great for any 16y o $13/h. The people there were great too.
After the summer, the job ended. I received a call from them asking to fill in for one of the workers. I turned down this offer because at the time being, i thought "happy 2 months" was more important... 
Now i am unemployed and seeking emplyment (hoping) they will accept my sincere apology. | |

One thing that will be alot harder to do though, is to get good and reliable references from managers when you only work for a few months...

Yeah, like I said, unless there was a substantial raise or position change, then it'd be understandable. But if you put a place with a 3-month work period only, I'm going to call them and ask why you were only there for 3 months. If they say "not sure, he just came in one day and gave in his 2-week notice.", that's not going to score you any points.
Earls dishwasher to Hollister sales associate just sounds like someone couldn't handle the work at Earls. Which is fine, cause lets face it, dishwashing is a shitty job. I ditched dishwashing after a few months when I was in high school too. But I'd leave it off my resume. It's nothing to brag about. A resume is to market and show your strengths. If you were able to commit to a shitty job, if you were able to put up with idiots at the workplace, etc.
Interviewers aren't dumb, we have a good idea what goes on at and behind the scenes at your jobs. No matter how fancy you make it sound that you were working at Safeway, we know you were just stocking shelves.
I'm just letting people know what I looked for when I used to do hiring. While resume scanning is all subjective, I'm sure a good amount of companies who do hiring share my point of view.

I know a bunch of guys who apply to work there just to meet chicks Some of them actually hooked up with a few hahaha | lol, I remember when I worked at PNE back in high school. Job was absolute shit, pay was absolute shit. Me and a couple friends were sweepers. After a couple shifts we realized how overstaffed they were, and how little there is to actually sweep. Seriously, there were like 30 people sweeping at once or something, and majority of the time, you're just walking around. So we started to just hang out in that "nature trail" area every day and play cards.
