    is the payment bad considering other jobs or do you mean that general

    In general. But it's just a temp job during the summer holidays while people are on vacation, and I got it through a student's organisation and students are in general the lowest paid as they usually need the money.

    My first job was at a jewerly store for like a week and a half and I HATED it. I wanted to quit every single day and I almost did it but I wanted the money which I later spent it in parking spots and inviting people I dont like to the movies

    I want to buy myself a Diesel watch.

    LOL!

    6days a week and not payed good :eek:

    thats sucks

    how old are you?
    if i would be you i would still work but looking for better work and if you find better work and they want you than quit
    because if you need money than sometime's we have to do really stupid work , we all got this experienced.
    and like jeeks says a job is a job , so dont worry some day you will have a great job were you do nothing and earns very much ;)
    I'm 19. Like I said, it's just a temp sumer job, and I can't work in October anyways since college starts and I have to attend at least 75% of my classes.

    And to be honest, I don't really need the money. I mean sure, it would be nice to earn some money to treat myself to a few nice things (like a watch), but I think I have a decent amount of money, certanly more than most kids my age, so it's not really like I desperatly need the money. Thats the thing, if I really needed it I wouldnt complain, I'd shut up and do it, but since I have a decent lifestyle and arent desperate for the paycheck, that's making me wonder wheather it's worth it. Having said that, if it was more money, I wouldnt be complaining either ;)

    Z, you should check alternative options at least.
    TBH, I'm considering quitting and not doing anything and just relaxing until school starts. Like I said, I have enough money to be able to quit this job if I want.

    Dude, working at the supermarket is one of the worst jobs ever. Never work at a supermarket. After two years at a place called "Jubilee," working with a bunch of hick high school drop-outs at the cash register, I kinda got sick of the shit.

    You should have consulted the forum before you took the job Zlatan. ;)

    TBH, I actually didnt want to take the job, but my dad kind pressured me, he told me to work at least a few days to see how it is, and I really didn't want to listen to the "you don't know the value of money" speach so I accepted.

    BTW, the work itelf isnt all that hard, you just have to be on your feet all day. My only problem is that the hours are long and the pay. If I got more money I'd work without complaint.


    Like I said, I don't intend to work more than a month. In fact, If I decide to stick it out, I'll give my boss my resignation on August 31st. I do not want to work a minute in September.

    Z, If you got nothing better than staying home, I'd advice you working anything, atleast part time Job, you'll be able to save a bit more money.

    Z, only if you already have a good alternative should you quit.

    This comes from someone who can't find any work in a nation with a temporarily struggling economy and sky-high inflation... :sigh:

    Is that cell, the latest Samsung?

    Yeah, one of the latest, the SGH E720, it was realeased around March AFAIK.


    ++ [ originally posted by Jeeks ] ++
    This is a good Samsung, but I advice you to go for the SE K750, this is the shit.

    Nah, I don't like it. I've already decided.

    Ah well then you're in a different situation than I am

    Yeah. I still live my parents so I dont need money for rent, food, etc. I get a decent amount of money from my parents, this is strictly about earning something extra so I can treat myself to something nice.


    ++ [ originally posted by Azzurri7 ] ++
    I'd take Nokia anytime over Samsung. take Nokia 7610, Zlatan, this is what I got, and it's lovely.

    Nah, Samsung's my phone.

    That is SO not worth 45 hours of torture per week. Quit it, quit it N-O-W!

    That's what I did when I was 16 and got a job at a supermarket for those reasons. I lasted two days :D
