I know some 15yo's who have worked at Caltex. They're on the books, so I'm guessing it's not company policy to have an 18yo age limit.

Could depend on the state. Each state has its own regulations on tobacco sales by minors.

I did it for a few years.

It's really too much responsibility for a 15 year old. There's often no supervision and no assistance available, and you're given entire responsibility for managing a potentially extremely dangerous environment. Many people can die if an accident occurs and it's not properly managed.

I believe Caltex Woolworths min age is 18.

Woolworths Petrol - Common Questions

Question on minimum working age.

Sorry mate.
Thanks.. i applied for just plain Caltex but they dont have any positions in my area at the moment. =[
on a side-note, i'm really impressed with how quickly A REAL PERSON replied to my application. Only 12 hours i think. About 20 times better than woolies!!

I applied for a job at caltex 2 days ago also. There are heaps of vacancies in my area apparently. They called me within 12 hours also.

I'm an actual adult and experienced in this industry, so I will get the job.
