How many of you worked as "Saturday girls/boys" in Woolworths?  |
| |
| I worked in Woolworths on Saturdays (& sometimes during school holidays)around 1970. I used to hate being on the slab cake counter where you had cut off a set weight as I could never judge it right. After a while I was 'promoted' to going round with a shoulder bag collecting excess cash from the tills & counting/logging/bagging it. Then I got to sit in a tiny office under the escalator giving out bags of change, filling in paperwork, ringing the bells to call supervisors, taking calls and dealing with customer enquiries. They got their moneys worth.... 9am-5.30pm for about £1.65. Out of that, I paid a return bus fare, a cooked lunch, a bar of chocolate, a bag of chips, a cake to take home and still saved for clothes and make-up!! Did you work for them? When? and what are your memories? | | | | | |

| | No, I always did baby sitting, until I could get a job. Again, it was poor pay, and long hours, but often the children were actually asleep, if it was an evening job, and then I just read books and watched television. In the summers it would be for whole families of bratty kids for $25 weekly, or so. That would be sometimes five children for forty four hours a week. After that I had a factory job, and I had a waitress job, and work study jobs in offices for the two years I went to college. | | | | | | |

| | The ice cream man did ask me if I'd like to go on his rounds with him as a paid job when I was about 15, but my mum wouldn't let me. I remember being a bit miffed at the time but... obviously, she was right to do so. She could see beyond the unlimited free ice cream! | | | |

| | I just graduated from college last year,now I am woking in a factory as a worker,the pay is poor,just 1500 Yuan(RMB),I dont satisfy with the pay,but because finding another job is very hard in this social situation,I have no choice but go on working in the factory.1500 Yuan is little,but enough to pay my daily expense,what make me feel sad is that I have no saving | | | | | | |

| | Is that for a week or a months work? I checked on a currency calculator and saw that its about the same as my basic weekly wage (before deductions. I hope that you are able to find something which pays you what you are worth soon. | | | |

| | Yes I have done it still when I am in early days of college. I work for the store as a salesclerk and paid only little amount as five hundred pesos a month and I saved it for my tuition fee of my school. I do it hardly and spend it tightly just to be sure it is enough for the monthly bills in school and if possible I will eat snacks so that I can saved to my accounts. Doing it in four years but fortunately I reap the fruit of my labor I was succeed in my persevering to graduate and now having the job I have done after those pity years of doing job with very little amount of salary. | | | | | | |
