I noticed alot of threads about whats a good job and pay etc.. but theres no list of where people work?
Maybe if you are looking for a job in a place someone here works there and they can help :D
I work at woolworths.. on checkouts
i also work in bakery and deli if i have to.. and sometimes get forced with variety shifts (but its not too bad cuz theres less customer interaction)

I work in my parents pizza restaurant... I do pretty much anything and everything... my fav thing is making coffees and drinks and that's what I do most of the time. I also serve customers a lot, do the kitchen, cut stock up, cut pizzas, use the friers, clear tables, clean... lotsa stuff.

It's not that bad a job except for the hours. I work from 11pm till 7am on Fridays and Saturdays!!! We are open for dinner and late all nite for hungry drunk people.


For the person who does Nightfill, what hours do you work and how much do you get paid? The hours wouldn't bother me hugely because I am pretty used to wacky hours.... just curious.

alot of nightfill people at my work do 8pm-midnight..
u get paid like according to ur age.. i think 18 year olds at woolies get around $13 an hour.. but u get paid extra loading because you are working out of normal hours (i know i get paid more if i work past 9..)
ill ask someone about it.. one of my supervisors does it sometimes
its basically putting things on shelves..
they do it at most supermarkets and shops like big w, k mart, target etc

I guess your referring to me than.

I usually work from 10pm - 2 or 3 am

Pay varys from day to day meaning that you get paid more on the weekend than during the week.
But the Average would be about $14-15 hr after Tax
