Contract signing today.

[Johnny Scumm]

So, I officially sign the contract for my new job today at Aldi. After 10 peoplewnt for it & a two week trial, I was the one to end up getting it. It's good money & everyone's nice around the place, so I'm looking forward to it!

Having a contract signing though, do I put my boss through the table we sign over?

 

[Starkist]

Yes. Feed him tables.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

After you sign it, you should throw your hands in the air repeatedly, yelling YES!

Aldi's actually a really good place to work for.

I'm not going to argue with you there. Pay starts at £7.70 an hour, which is awesome & can rise to over 11 quid if you really work for it.

£7.70? That's insanely good. What hours will you be working?

Starts at 25, but should be 30-40 within 2 months.

How much in American Dollar is that?

 

[Johnny Scumm]

$11.90 according to google.

Also, just got called up by the manager, I now sign contracts tomorrow.

A friend of mine's brother in law worked for Aldi. He started in the supermarket and ended up regional manager. He's minted. He left to start his own business.

I assume this will end with you putting the regional manager of Aldi through the table, about 30 seconds after you've signed.

 

[Lee]

Or he signs the contract and they say "Ha you should have read the contract. You'er actually signing for Netto!"

 

[Tastycles]

OH MY GOD, KING, MEMBERS OF LIDL ARE SURROUNDING THE RING!!!

 

[Lee]

Then the lights go out and the Mexican hat dance/Let it shine rings through the arena.

 

[Tastycles]

This has just reminded me of pre-mental Justin Lee Collins, Alan Carr and Lily Allen's brief collaborative effort.

7.70?! Are you a regular cashier or doing something more specialised?

 

[Tastycles]

Supermarkets always pay pretty well. When I worked at McDonald's, if you got a job at Somerfield, it was like finding the holy grail.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I get paid £7.70 (or there abouts) and I'm a cashier at Sainsbury's on weekends.

 

[HBK-aholic]

My job is to ensure people don't die, and I get paid less than that. Damn NHS.

 

[Starkist]

Is there a minimum wage where all are you are at?

 

[Gelgarin]

When I was on holiday from Uni back in the day, I think Sainsbury's used to pay me something in the range of £8-9 an hour for night shift work.

After taking the time to get qualified and traveling several thousand miles to do specialist work, I now make considerably less as an hourly rate.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Becca, I'm both a cashier & shelf filler. You've gotta do both depending on how busy the shop is.

 

[Lee]

Did you flip the table?

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Check for sledgehammers under the desk. They are the arch enemy of contract signing table spots.

 

[Bernkastel]

I get paid £7.70 (or there abouts) and I'm a cashier at Sainsbury's on weekends.

What's the equivalent of this in America, 8-9 dollars an hour? If I can land at least 12 an hour with my next job I'll be happy.
