Dammit. I'm being ripped off.

$9 an hour at a seafood store, im 17. I get $12 on sundays. It sucks. After work I smell of fish (not nice) and have cuts on my hands from prawns. I've also almost fallen over in the shop bout 3 times, and have almost had hot oil spilt all over my arms whilst cooking the sample bits of fish out front of the store that taste like total shit.

I need a new job, but am too lazy to look. :(
Do you by any chance work at Blacktown shops?

but i love animals so meh :)

ah, the bonus. The things that end up being our most important purchases, plasma TVs, cars, pets, etc, are the things that are encouraged to be sold as much as possible.

Anyway, if I had money I wouldn't buy a pet from there, don't people agree that the animals are put in really bad conditions? I mean, they're in pens with other species (sickness) in contact with humans, and particular, kids (sickness). Do they get a run around?

Hmmm,
15 year old at IGA=$6.90 an hour
On Sundays I get $10.08
On saturdays I get an added bonus of $6.18 just for working.

Then there is like, uniform money and all that crap.

$6.90 an hour. That is so bad. You're better of not working at all and just enjoying your free time.

I'm guessing you never had a job when you were 15

I didn't mean that it was bad for a 15 year old, just that I don't think it's worth working if you're only getting that.

Well maybe he was working to get a reference, or candy money- 6$ gets you a long way when you're 15.

$6.90 might be alright money for a 15 year old - it was for me when I was 15
