Cool mate, I'll probably see you around their then?¿
the pay is good, however the work sucks balls.... especially on a 40 degree day upstairs on level four of pick to belt.

yeah the pay is pretty much more than double what they pay instore. and my brother will most likely be setting my hours, so it should be ok in that respect.

as for the work, i heard its super repetitive, but i'd only be doin it to keep some cash comin in till i find somethin semi-permanent again.

ill send u a PM if i do end up workin down there though ;)

Looks like Coles Meyer treat their employees with the same contempt that Woolworths/Safeway Ltd Does :rolleyes:

I feel sorry for the people that end up working in the supermarkets...
They get treated like shit (just like us) but hardly make half our pay...

They were using Forstaff casuals @ Mulgrave...
But now they use StaffAustralia casuals... whom use a really good training system !
They walk you through the place ....then 5 weeks later they put you on a pallet truck to pick ONE order... then you are on your own !

I've lost count of the amount of times someone has nearly
been killed from this "cost cutting training regime" ... its pitiful

This would be the reason for dodgy pallet stacks too :rolleyes:

For parents of pre-teenagers I usually advise them to purchase a cryogenic units and keep the kids in deep freeze till they become adults.

When it comes to girls my experience is they are usually bit better then boys, though they start earlier, but don’t smell like teen boys do. However if you have a "naughty" teen girl, always worse then any boy can be.

The Rolling Stones have the answer in their song "Mothers Little Helper" the little yellow pill. So that is for when you cannot put the kids in deep freeze, so put yourself in deep freeze, or going looking for some "Deep Sleep Therapy" (to bad they stopped that LOL)

If all that does not work move out of home yourself, you'll save on money that way.

Sorry if my help is not very useful in private work circumstances I charge $150 per hour fifteen for a consult, so please send me your credit card details and we can start. LOL

On my only serious note, I have sent a pm.

Mark
