Being underpaid at work.

[scottish]

It's £1.30/L (ish) here for petrol which is like $2.41 CAD so consider yourself lucky.

Depending on bus can vary from like £2 to like £10, cinema is £7 odd a ticket, a single cheeseburger is £0.89 or £0.99

What would you expect to pay for things like local public transport, a cinema ticket, McDonald's cheeseburger?

In Melbourne it's different to other states, but we pay for 1 day of PT Monday to Friday full-fare zone 1 and 2 (I'm at the end of zone 2, which is 40km from the CBD) it's $12.12 a day. Here's a calculator. A cinema ticket that isn't Tight Arse Tuesday or Saturday evening is maybe about $20. I was stocked in Dublin watching a movie in the CBD (IMAX it felt like) for $12! Maccas cheeseburger I'm not sure, I don't go to Maccas, but I'd hazard a guess at $2 or so.

Petrol is cheap as chips here compared to London, I am going to fill up the tank tomorrow, and it's currently sitting at $1.382 per litre after the 4cent discount.

Yeah from what I know, it should say in your contract whether you get paid penalty rates or not. Also, do join a union. My boyfriend has to do the same thing, his work doesn't pay penalty rates because the employers got away with it in the contract somehow, and the business is about to close so he doesn't wanna lose his job and money that he's owed. So stupid.
Also, $12 a day for busses? It costs me $2.60 a day to get to school and back because I'm a student. D:
