The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
When I was 16 I was working at a chemist (inc. selling over the counter stuff) and got paid 2.04 an hour. Now that was crap.

Everything about you is how I want to be.
if you're not getting paid the minimum wage and you're 18 or 21 (or over, clearly) then you should def see your boss or their superior.
Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.
£3 for 16 year olds - HA I wish. I get £2.50 an hour and I am 17.
for under 18's they can pay you whatever pitance they like unfortunately.
then there is over 18's (cant remember)
and over 21's is £4.10 so that means over 18's must be about £3.80 ish
im still on £4.51 <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif"> *smug* ... and im 19.
Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.
I'm on £5 an hr & i'm 17 <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif"> <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
okay, you can be smugger then <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif"> and you dont have to make sodding pizzas and work in a tinytiny room with loud airconditioning and fridges that mean you have to shout and never understand what anyone else says the first 4 times.
oooh do you think i might not like my job very much? lol <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">

Theres no need to be smug about earning more money. I'd look for a better paid job, but I like my job. And its not like I'm desperate for money either. I get £30 a week from college, and I'm still living at home.
So do I
I wasn't being smug. I was just stating what I got.
Aw all you poor poor young people im 22 and on over £9 per hour *grins*
Lucky!! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif"> <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
What's that all about?
In my day (last year), we didn't get paid for going to college.
All evil needs to thrive is for good men to sit back and do nothing
If I didn't get the money I would have had to stay at school and I hated it there.
