Did you try telling them you didn't want the contact high? If you weren't a dick about it they may have just gone outside.

I think the point is he didn't want to be around that kind of situation in the first place. I was under the impression it was only you and the owner anyways - never remember other employees being included. Anyways, kudo's to you. You may bounce off the walls a little bit when it comes to projects, but you seem like a good kid.
ChadTower:
Oh, I'm with him on the decision to not smoke up with them. Good move. It's not easy to find a really enjoyable job from which you also learn a ton, though, and every job has its problems with coworkers. I'm wondering if he actually tried to alleviate the situation or just left without saying anything.

I tried to tell them that I wasn't comfortable with it, but they didn't catch on. I suggested they go outside "as to not have the boss catch on" and they said they had done it before inside. I gave up at that point, and left. I really enjoyed working there, and I did learn a considerable amount, but the job was relatively dull, with no real opportunity for advancement beyond cleaning machines. I wasn't going to be doing board repairs or anything.
ChadTower:
Experience is advancement. Don't forget that. People call in sick or get fired or quit and the work still needs to be done by someone.
USSEnterprise:
In the month that I worked there, I learned as much as I was going to, with the exception of how to take apart and reassemble each and every DMD machines that exist individually. I know know how to shop a machine's PF. And personally, some of the methods they used I strongly disagreed with. He would list machines on ebay as being in like new shape. However, he never replaced all the PF bulbs, he would leave cracked plastics in place, and he would use washers to cover up cracked slingshot plastics. Take a little extra money and buy new plastics. He would never rebuild flippers, pop bumpers, or the like. He used white rubbers on all the newer machines as opposed to black. He used a bleach cleaner on PFs and cabinets that would sometimes remove paint. It was not a good operation IMO.
