[quote name="Quétinbec"]So I’m forced to apply for shitwork as a condition of a loan. I applied at Subway Sandwiches but was turned down! I was also turned down for a couple of cleaning jobs at the casino. What the FUCK, world? There’s a bakery near a supermarket that’s out of the way and discreet with 'part time workers wanted' sign outside. It was staffed by two ~15 y/o’s. "Yep, hang on a second, mate; I’ll be with you in a bit…Alright." "Hi, I’m actually wondering about the part time work you’ve got advertised here." "Oh, yeah OK… But actually, my boss was after someone younger. She wants someone aged about grade 10." [I’m too old to know what grade 10 is. Form 5, I guess? About the same age as this guy, probably.] "Oh OK! Hahaha!" "Yeah. Well, hang on. How old are you, mate?" "I’m 26." "OK. Well, she could pay you more because you’re older." " Hahaha. No, that’s alright. How much are you getting if you don’t mind me asking." "Yeah... because I’m on $10." [Taking opportunity to regain pride by laughing at this motherfucker’s shit wage!] "Oh, 10 bucks?! Hahahah! No, man sorry! I was just looking for some temporary work, you know. I mean, I’m just looking for something temporary." "Yeah. I can give you this application form if you want." "No thanks! No, man. I’m OK. Thank you, though. THANKS."[/quote]
