Part Time Freezing Hell. Worth it or not?

I recently started working a new second job at an express car wash, Rain Tunnel, and the more I work the more I really wonder if it's worth the effort. Honestly, I have trouble working at nearly any place where your role is easily replaceable, and regardless of how "good" you are at the job you aren't going to be a voice in the company or play a vital role without dedicating 10+ years of your time to it. RTE (rain tunnel express) is a perfect example of this, and for many reasons doesn't seem to be worth the minimum wage that you get paid for doing it.

Don't get me wrong, the job is nowhere near what i would consider terribly difficult. So you have to stand outside and spray down cars for 8 hours in freezing weather...it could always be worse. In fact, when we're busy the stupid shit that bothers me doesn't really even come into play. Being busy just means instead of having a few mnutes of unimportant conversation or small talk with the one other person that is working, you get in your zone and handle your job as efficiently and smoothly as you can. That's easy.

Unless there is an ungodly amount of cars and a line out of the tunnel 6+ cars for several hours, there will be two workers. The cashier/supervisor, and the operator (my dumbass job). Again, not to make the job sound terrible all the time, and maybe it's just me complaining about small problems that every job has, but when I have to work that 7+ hour shift with someone i can carry on a conversation with and isn't the RT Hitler, the job is fine. It's working with the general manager that makes me hate my life for 1/3 of the day.

Her name is unimportant, but in her mind she is the rain tunnel goddess. She has worked there for 12 years and is the general manager, and sometimes being headstrong about something is good...unless its about being the head honcho of a damn car wash. A car takes about 3 minutes to leave the tunnel after a wash has been entered, and when its 35-40 degrees out and you work with anyone other than her, you walk inside after it gets past the first set of Flex Wraps (eta 20seconds vs 180). When you work with her, you stand out there, in a military style stance (not kidding, we're on camera and if the stance is wrong, the king of the tunnel will call and complain) facing the tunnel for the entirity of the time it takes the car to leave the tunnel. Normally, another car pulls up to be washed somewhere inbetween that time, so the countdown starts all over again.

Sure, if you're standing out in the cold you at least get to talk to the other employee, right? Wrong. Queen Bee will go inside and make herself some soup and hot cocoa inbetween her 15 second task of collecting the money and saying the type of wash. High quality person right there. In the short, few times she does stand out with you, do you think she talks about life, goals, interests? Well, sometimes...when she isn't correcting you on things you don't do wrong.

For example, a six foot employee such as myself can spray off the under part of a cars bumper just fine by reaching right? Again, wrong. I am supposed to "bend down" in order to get the under side of the bumper. Not even to get it cleaner...she says this. In her words: "It doesn't even get the car cleaner at all, but it makes you look like you're working harder. That's what [King] likes." Now if that is not a load of shit i don't know what is...but she repeated the same line almost verbadum about the front bumper. Bend down more, to give an appearance that i'm working harder, not even if it raises the quality of the wash. What-the-f***-ever.

So sorry that was entirely too long, but there are more and more little things about this damn car wash i could talk about, but I'm sure you get the just of it. So, if feedback was to be left, i would ask you to put it in an answer form to a few simple questions.

Would you bother keeping a minimum wage job such as this, and just keep working through the bullshit for a 20-25 hour a week job in which you'll make ~600 a month?

How much is too much...how much degrading can you take from a high strung headstrong manager of a completely unimportant place before you just say screw it?

And...the most important question. I realize that most of the people who read this haven't even worked there, therefore haven't experienced it, but do you think I'm just over examining the simple problems you'll get at an average part time job?
