If I work 6 hours I get an hour if I work a full day I get 15 mins then an hour then another 15 mins but it varies from company to company.Quote:

Worst thing that's happened:
I transferred store 3 week ago, on that weekend I had an 11 hour shift then a 4 hour one - Friday on next week when I should be paid, nothing went in my bank, told Assistant Manager and she said I'll get put on system.
Next Friday I get one payment, thinking it was from one weekend I did - wrong, it was holiday pay from my old store. Turns out my old Manager hasn't sent my contract off so it's like I don't even work for the company, but got holiday pay and I didn't know I was down for that much.
Anyway, might have to have an induction again.
Overall if this weeks doesn't go in I'll be losing over £200.
I work in a restaurant and it really ****s me off, when people go, Can I have a can of coke or something, when they see I have my hands full of plates! or,They'll say something like, Can I have a beer? I'll go get it, Can we also have a bottle of water, I'll go take it, then it's like can we have this also, I mean OMFG. Order it all at the same bloody time!!sdcqFQEFGVQWERG!
Sounds awful, you deffo need to say something... Don't stand for it tbh.Quote:

- when people dismantle their fire alarms which sets the alarm off automatically and expect you to fix the issue, yeah that **** costs money to fix as you've damaged your flat
i could go on
i hate people who don't return phone calls, don't answer their phones, don't answer e-mails, or answer them late. I also hate unprofessional emails, when people text me for work, ask me for my bbm to contact me. i also hate being on the road now because i have to eat such **** food it makes me fat, makes my car smell and makes me smell so i have to douse my self in cologne to cover the smell up. it's ******* ****. MY NUMBER ONE PET PEEVE IS WHEN PEOPLE GO TO ANSWER PHONE AND HANG UP.....
omg has anyone ever used complaints.co.uk? got so many funny ones about where I work (primark)
This one is my fav LMAO
Discusted? LMAO!!!! Isn't even true for me :(Quote:
discusted - Posted 19.03.2012i am not happy with how slow people work in the shop, the que last for hours! also the staff that work there are always unhappy and so rude. NEVER shopping there again.
working in retail really has heightened my hatred of people. more so when i worked on checkouts, loads of little things just add up. (the amount of people that treat you like you're stupid because you work in a shop is unreal.) although, working in the cafe part is equally as bad. alot of people seem to enjoy making your life difficult, and i don't know why people expect us to just make what they want, there's a menu for a reason, and it's only a supermarket cafe ffs.
