It was weird...I went into Blimpie to get a sandwhich, and I asked the guy if they were hiring. He said some stuff about that in order to work the slicer i have to be 18 and that i wouldnt be able to get a raise until then...So he didnt even give me an application, and he wanted me to start today but I cant. I was shocked cause I didnt fill out an application or have an interview or anything. So im going in tomorrow at 1000 for training or whatever. The only thing is I cant work until like 1100 when the new quarter starts so I can try to still graduate, and Ill probably have to walk for a while. So I dont know what to do...I guess I will go in tomorrow and just see whats up. The only other job Ive ever had was at a technical support place, and thats totally different than this, so I dont know what to expect......

if your not 18 you cant operate any machinery no slicer or anything.

true i didnt look at your age and i was being a retard

all i think is gonna happen is he is gonna have you work as if you 18 and if anything happens both of you are fucked

03-01-2006 12:08:16

Yeah...so should I take the job???

Veek

03-01-2006 12:17:59

Money seems like it would be nice, but if you're doing just fine without the job, I'd focus on high school first and turning 18. If they still want you and you'd still like to work there, go for it. Chances are, you'll get yourself a better job.

Kidd

03-01-2006 13:19:32

i guess take the job and get experience it looks good when u get a better job

cdsnwboard

03-01-2006 13:59:33

at least ur luckly, u actually got a job. i've been trying to get a job here for the past month, and not even one phone call back. and its places where people from my school already work, so i would think they take me. but NO.

Kidd

03-01-2006 14:03:24

I used to work at Subway.

You'll find people are very particular about their food...

Peinecone

03-01-2006 17:09:00

I would not worry about not being able to work the slicer. It is just OSHA rules, am i'm sure there is plenty more work to do around there. I also wouldn't flake on the manager. Tell him tommorow what your schedule will be. It seems pretty weird that he didn't go over that with you though.

But i wouldn't get to stuck with a job that pays $5.40. I didn't know that people still got paid that low.

tylerc

03-01-2006 17:49:16

I got $6/hour at Subway.

Kidd

03-01-2006 18:13:23

6 is terrible the lowest i ever worked was 7.75 with 13 on sundays

lol mr new joisey

crazyates

03-01-2006 18:49:51

i think the minimum wage is different for minors...correct? that's why they can get away with $5.40/hr. Is this right?

tylerc

03-01-2006 19:16:45

Minimum wage is minimum wage, which in Indiana is like $5.40 or something.

mnx12

03-01-2006 20:09:06

Yeah well Ive decided to call him in the morning and see what I can do. The thing is he wants me to work full time, and I can only work like 1130AM to 600PM because of school.

And about the whole slicer dealy, whenever I go there, its usually only one person there, so how does that work out if I was alone? Anyhow.....any more suggestions?

Oh, and minimum wage has always sucked in Utah, and its the same no matter what age you are.

Yeah Texas also uses federal min wage. Too bad we have a republican controlled congress we could have had min wage at 7$ over three years.

Is anyone else curious why kidd knows so much about Subway, Blimpie, cold cuts, and meat slicers?

Veek

04-01-2006 08:39:09

No.

bballp6699

04-01-2006 08:41:10

We'll that's because you're 10 times more experienced with meat.

Veek

04-01-2006 08:45:18

I'll give you credit for the effort. ;)

mlwitchking

04-01-2006 11:45:52

the federal minimum wage is $5.15 for small companies and $5.40 for larger companies (500 employees a think). However, local and state minimum wage statues will superceed the federal minimum wage. the rationale behind not raising the minimum wage is that, statistically, there is a distinct correlation between lowered economic growth and higher minimum wages. However, I am a republican and I believe the lowest wage should be $7.00.

04-01-2006 15:29:36

I think it takes at least a couple weeks before u get comfortable at a new job, especially if it is one of your first.

tylerc

04-01-2006 16:51:29

Yeah, I remember the first few weeks at Subway I took forever to make a sub because I was nervous and all that, but eventually you get the hang of everything.

mnx12

04-01-2006 18:04:24

tylerc

04-01-2006 18:05:23

Yes, you do, but you will get most of them back after you file taxes in a refund.

Except Social Security Tax, which you will never see a dime of P
