Oh the memories.

The hashtag #FirstShiftStreetView was trending in Ireland over the weekend and it produced some nostalgic gold that would be worthy of a place on Reeling in the Years.

The idea isn’t complicated, open Google Maps, find the place you had your first shift, screenshot it, and post it with the hashtag.

The thing about it is that you have to actually remember your first shift, you might think it looked something like this.

We’ve no idea what they were like, but here’s where all these Irish people had their first shift.
