Enjoy your job. Pocket money is always nice. :thumb:
It was an OK job for a young'un, but the Boots uniform circa 96/97 did nothing for my street cred
I ended up being supervisor before leaving for university!
Go me
Fuckin brilliant.
I've also been a cleaner (hooray for cash in hand) and a babysitter, but I think everyone does that at some point or another.
Do co-op really only pay people £5.21? I would have thought most supermarkets and shops would pay people about the same, co-op are mean!
:thumb:
It was actually a good job- the crack was good, and it gave me buns of steel.
Now: Morrisons, nineteen, £5.16 an hour.
It's rubbish. ;(
we just got a payrise at tesco. i'm gonna be on £6.03.
And mine. Then someone told our boss he was a cheap bastard abd he rose it to £3.20. When we turned sixteen, he raised us to £3.50...#
My first job was in a coffee bar in a sports centre, on weekends. It wasn't bad really, as it was me and a few lads my age basically runnig the cofee bar. We we're meant to be supervised by whichever boss was on reception, but in all honesty, they only came down to us if they wanted feeding The lads I worked with were cool as well, and became quite good mates....one's my boyfriend now, so, I can't say I regret working there.
Am a cleaner now though. Woo me :yeees: Better pay though. £4.25.
My God.
Morrisons have to have one of the lowest wages going, I'm sure. So unfair. ;(
i think i was wrong, think it's £6.01.
did you ever send your cv off to tesco? and are you planning on keeping your job while you're at uni? (that's if i'm right in thinking you're going..).
I'm gonna send my CV off to Tesco & Waitrose in Lincoln, maybe a couple of other places, and hope I get something for September. If not then Morrisons have said they'll cut my hours down to weekends, and I'll come back for weekends to work there until I get something in Lincoln - really don't want to be coming back to Morrisons in Scunny every weekend unless there's no other option!
i come home every weekend to work sundays, brings me about £220 a month (but i also have to pay for the upkeep of my car). i don't mind it as for me the uni life is really during the week - however it would be nice to chill out at the weekend. i like coming home too, to see my family, get my washing done and have some good food. i was thinking about applying for a transfer as the people at tesco are fucking me right off. :thumb: been there toooooooo long!
Still there aged 19 (nearly 20! ) and on £6.38 now
Yeah, that's my problem with Morrisons - too many reminders of bad memories, I think! I want uni to be a complete fresh start, so a new job would be the best thing for me, I reckon.
i've been at tesco 4 and a half years. the young people starting now make me feel soooo old. we can't do anything anymore, for example we can't do voids on the till (like if we scan something twice by mistake or if the customer changes their mind). if we want a void doing we have to press a little buzzer on a keypad and the section managers/team leaders (who are meant to be wearing a little headset but invariably they don't work or they have them around their neck) come and do it (with their password. i remembered one of them but then she changed it!). a few times now i've had to get off my checkout and go to customer service desk to put a call out for them to come to my till as they're no where to be seen! and all because if they have too many voids then it can count as mislaid items or something/a loss. and lately they seem to be putting out sooooo many first class service calls (when the checkouts a busy, staff off other depts are meant to come and help) it's ridiculous. i feel sorry for the other depts, they have stuff to do too!
it's a joke i tell you, a joke!
where do you work?
first day tomorrow!! still havent got any plain black, flat, comfortable shoes i can be on my feet in for about 10 hours
