How do these compare to the jobs at kmart, wollies, etc.

... · Oct 2, 2003

err...fast food job, i used to work as a cook in KFC...pretty dangerous to be honest...with those oils and shit...

but if u compare those job with wollies and kmart, they are less dangerous, but at times u might face a customer who is "not handable"...so thats a down side

lol, dangerous.

that isn't really a reason not to take a job since they would have safety procedures. right?

... · Oct 2, 2003

umm...
well, to be honest..theres no such thing as safety procedures...

like u cannot take away the chance of water accidentally landed into the oil pot and the oil goes jumping crazy and landed on ur skin...

it happens...

lol, do these jobs pay better than coles myer or wollies?

... · Oct 2, 2003

hell no, i got shit pay when i was at KFC...but it paid off..now i can say on my resume that i worked in buig companies like KFC

but i'll be looking at Cole Myer, good pay, Fatmuscle works there and he gets awesome pay

Yeah, I work at KFC- but only at the front and its alright- u don't get paid good- but it looks good on ur resume and most people are civil and if theyre not u learn to deal with it- so if youre going in it for the experience- its good- btw KFC pays better than Maccas- but Maccas is better to work for cos it looks really good on ur resume- its not dangerous but employers like to know you worked for a multinational-

LaZy_KoReAn · Oct 3, 2003

crap pay crap conditions

i worked at both KFC and Maccas, then worked for my friends dad Internet Cafe good pay and GOOD conditions

to be honest, i couldn't last a month in KFC nor Maccas they have alot of jobs though

hipsta_jess · Oct 12, 2003

a friend of mine used to work at kfc and his arms were constantly covered in burns.
but all jobs have their downside-
*check out chick/guy - varicose veins, sore feet, etc
*packer-back problems
*fast food- burns
*any job-dealing with the customer

its just up to you to make the best of the situation, however crap that may be

I worked at coles for 1.5 years. You gain a deep and irreversible loathing for customers. Especially westies.

crazylilmonkee · Oct 13, 2003

i worked at maccas for 14 months and it was my first job so i thought it wasnt too bad.. made some friends, and got some good experience i think anyways.. i got asked to be crew trainer and half way thru doin the folder i just felt like i had enough so i quit.. but u get all sorts or people in there (customer wise), this old freak gave me his business card and goes call me and i threw it out in his face and then drunk people that harrass you and just dickheads.. i was only 14 but i worked on sundays so it was pretty good pay at the time

Frigid · Oct 13, 2003

my cinema job was pretty cool actually, even tho i got paid minimum wage, most of the time i just checked the food inventory, fold popcorn cups, and i got all the soft drink i wanted

!

much better than maccas or kfc, i would think: did you get paid alot crazylilmonkee?

haha, lexi as a checkout guy...*tries to imagine but can't*

unoriginal · Oct 18, 2003

I worked at macca's if you think about what you are doing you avoid any major burns. The pay wasn't great but there are a lot of places with worse pay. Professional sport now there is the ulitimate job. *looks forward to next years possible move to Denmark or Sweden*
