    The McDonald's Thread

    Re: McDonalds Interview Tell me if you get paid for the "Welcome to Maccas" module, because I sure didn't. HA. Make sure you ask them, at the Orientation if you get extra pay on Public Holidays too. URRGH, New Years Day is clearly a Public Holiday, but my shifty Restaurant Manager tells me...

    Strike on the first two days of school (2009)

    Yeah, my school starts on 28th Jan. I guess I can call in the school that day to ask. If they don't answer the phone I'll know for sure.

    Strike on the first two days of school (2009)

    Did that. They're still going on about some 50th Anniversary. Why can't those silly staff members update the website? URRGH. Annoying when no one knows when the start date is.

    Strike on the first two days of school (2009)

    I'm confused. My school says we're returning on 28th January, but now this whole strike things coming up. I can't ring the school cos no one's working. And I have to tell my shift manager when I'm available during school weeks. So frustrating. What does the school expect me to do?

    Anyone working on the upcoming public holidays?

    You guys know something that's interesting? I knew that I worked 7 hours STRAIGHT with no break but my payer, our restaurant manager [who so happens to be on holiday, conveniently] - I think he altered the time I clocked on/off. I don't ever remember clocking off during my shift i.e I had no...

    Notes: Typed Or Written?

    I HATE writing notes onto paper. It takes forever and my fingers hurt. It's just much more quicker to type them up on my laptop. That's my I'm getting an ASUS EEEPC specifically to type up my notes in class. I hope my school allows, cos I can just print and stick them into my books later on. :]

    do you wear sunscreen every day?

    Don't moisturisers also protect against the sun? I prefer those over sunscreen - too greasy on the skin.

    Train fares to rise (Sydney)

    These past few days I've had to catch a bus to work because the trains are undergoing maintenance. Well, I suppose the one good thing is that we don't have to pay the bus fare because no one ever asks you to!

    Train fares to rise (Sydney)

    HAHAHA, don't we all? That's why I always buy from the ticket machine, but then asians generally look younger than our age, so I often get away with the under 16 look. :uhhuh: Urrgh, what am I still doing awake at this time? I have work tomorrow, and I need to ask them why I wasn't paid extra...

    Train fares to rise (Sydney)

    Hmm.. Last time [again, when fare increase wasn't effective] when I attended my orientation for work I took a SINGLE TICKET to Liverpool. And then I bought another single for Fairfield (because I had a tennis lesson on that same day and had to go a few hrs after my orientation) But here's the...

    To wear frames or not...

    Hmm.. my family has health insurance that covers Optical, Dental and other Health care stuff. I've been considering getting myself a pair of frames or sunnglasses and I'm wondering if I should get some. Do you think people look better with or without frames [providing they are a nice pair, of...

    Train fares to rise (Sydney)

    My friends and I went to the movies at Parramatta yesterday, and we had to take a bus to Granville first. Then we bought single tickets [my idea, I thought it was going to be cheaper, I was silly] to Parra. On the way back, we bought single tickets home and the cost was $1.90!! Back when the...

    Anyone working on the upcoming public holidays?

    WTF? i just looked at my PAYSLIP for last week, and I was paid my NORMAL RATE for New Years Day! Either NYD isn't a public holiday and I'm nuts or my boss has made one hell of a mistake!! UNBELIEVABLE! :burn: They didn't pay me for the '2 hours' on the online intro either. Has any other...

    Anyone working on the upcoming public holidays?

    I worked on NYD and I think I'll only be getting Time and a half - it's so frustrating. All my co-workers are telling me different things. First I don't get double time, then I only get time and a half.. WTF? I guess I'll have to wait to get my paycheck. Time and a half is alright.. it's just...

    Making Pop ART vectored photos in Photoshop

    So, for my BOW I will be doing all photographic works and I'm really stressed out because I think my work is not up to standard and I'm very worried I'll regret choosing Art. I'm not work at Practical things like drawing or Painting or sculpturing.. basically I can't do anything with art...

    Anyone working on the upcoming public holidays?

    Spence, did you get paid penalty rates? The award says we do... but I heard one of my co-workers saying we don't. Now I'm confused. :hammer:

    Do you get Superannuation?

    Does your employer give you Super? I just found out only the managers at my restaurant gets it, so I'm assuming Fast Food Outlets don't offer it to their crew.

    Does anyone work at Hungry Jacks??

    Our store has a change room, but no toilets, cos it's in a Food Court in Westfields. We still take our uniforms home and it's our responsibility to keep them neat and clean [which is kind of a disadvantage I think] $6 an hour? Who'd work for that little pay? I'm 16, and I get 8.83 w/ Casual...

    Rules for Staff

    I had a horrible experience at JB-HIFI Liverpool yesterday afternoon. My friend bought a micro-sd card and payed using Credit. The sales assistant at the counter asks for Identification (WTF?) and she was acting like a bitch too. Didn't look the customer in the eye, hostile tone... absolutely...

    Maccas help

    Ahh, my roster hasn't been updated yet and it's been almost a week. Aren't rosters posted a week in advance of next week's schedule? My manager said he'd get it done last night. URRGH, Metime's down for maintenance. I still can't get hold of the roster. It's hard when you're new.. I don't feel...
