[imagineer]

Hello everyone.

I went for my 1st job interview today. It went really well and at the end the interviewer told me that they would call tonight to let me know if I got the job, then she leaned in a little, smiled and said “I think you will, I like you.”

Anyway they called me back and I have been given the job!!!!
I start Tuesday, well I start health and safety training on Tuesday ready for when I start working in the store.

Anyway I am so excited I just wanted to tell everyone

I am over the moon

FYI the store is opening next month and I will have to help with the store fitting and getting ready for the opening. This means that I will be VERY busy for a few weeks or so and will not me on her much or at all.

Hello everyone.

I am enjoying my new job

It seems like in the morning I help everyone unload all the pallets of deliveries. We all get the boxes and put them in the aisle that they will be displayed in. That is organized chose I tell you.

Then is it our 20 minute break.

After our break we unpack the boxes and put them on the floor for the right people to arrange on the shelves, etc.

That is fun. I joke and say it’s like Christmas, it is like what’s in this box?
And we all go, “wow, I want one of them” "or "I had one of them when..." as we are unpacking the toys
We have a lot of good stuff, and a lot of different merchandise of the favourites, Toy Story, Marvel/DC, Minions etc, etc. It is so fun seeing what comes in.

A couple of my co-workers are Minion fans too, so the three of us are all like “I want one.” or “That is awesome!” when we see the Minion merchandise

Then it seem that I get put on cardboard duty, well a few of us do. We go around collecting and collapsing the boxes. We seem to call ourselves Cardboard Monkeys A fun job title lol.
We also pick up the rubbish as well.

Then it is lunch break for an hour.

And after lunch we finish un-boxing and/or collecting the cardboard if it was not finished before lunch.

Then it seems like I get to do some pricing. We get put in to pairs for that. You scan the item and the price comes up, then you tell it how many price stickers to print and put the stickers on the items. I love pricing, I could do it all day.

Pricing and un-boxing, I could do all day

But nearer the end of the day a few of us are looking for something to be getting on with as there are enough people working on the tasks, or only certain people can do some of the tasks, so we end up back as Cardboard Monkeys.

I do not mind that task either, but my fingers were latterly bleeding a little on the cuticles because they got so dry from handling so much cardboard. Plus it is a lot of bending as well, but hay-ho I have a job so I don’t care I am so enthusiastic I will and am latterly giving the company my blood lol.

I am getting kinda friendly with some of my co-corkers. Mostly the minion fans , so that is nice.
Some of the other workers attitude are a bit off, they don’t seem put that much effort in if they can help it, but I expected that.
But some others, like me, do put the effort in so I like it when I get to work with them

Congratulations imagineer, I can remember my first job many moons ago in Australia, my weekly wage was £2.50 a week as they did not have decimal currency then and I thought I was a millionaire lol.

[Matt]

It was common for wages to be much lower many years ago than they are now. Cost of living has risen but so have wages.
