Madonna arrived in New York with $35 in her pocket. She worked as a cloakroom attendant
At the beginning, she focused primarily on her dancing career. However, she was unable to make a living in New York just from performing. So she worked as a cloakroom attendant at the Russian Tea Room restaurant, a waitress at Burger King, and even took part in promiscuous photo shoots, after which she received up to $100 a day. She also sold donuts in the popular American chain Dunkin’ Donuts, but was quickly fired. In the late 1970s, Madonna decided to try her hand at being a rock star. She had to wait until 1982 for her first contract, and soon she had hits such as “Everybody”, “Holiday”, “Like a Virgin” and “Material Girl”. Over the years, there have been many rumors surrounding the brief episode of selling donuts.
Before she became a star, she sold donuts. She was fired because she was “playing with a jam machine”
Jimmy Fallon decided to clarify some of the rumors related to the singer’s career and her private life. The presenter asked her, among other things: about whether she was actually fired from Dunkin’ Donuts. Although she seemed surprised by the question for a moment, she answered in the affirmative. – Yes… It was one of the first jobs I had when I moved to Manhattan. They fired me because I was playing with a jam machine, she admitted.
She revealed a bit more details about this on the Howard Stern show. There were reports that she was fired after just one day. The reason was that jam was poured on one of the customers, and in some versions of the rumor – on everyone present in the store. – I think I lasted there for about a week – . However, she did not confirm or deny that the jam landed on the customer.
