    Officer- I am giving you a ticket for parking illegally.

    RC-How dare you? Don't you know me? I am the master of Wit, education and Humour. The blessed one. I can swear my head off and show you my personality. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I went out with the junior manager & his team.I was interviewed by the owner & offered the job when we got back,which I declined later as it wasn't a finacially viable job imho.
    Junior Manager is the leader or crew leader, Basically a salesman who has more responsibility.
    That's about it.You have to sell to earn the money.And the hours are long,from 12pm to 9pm, plus travelling time.
    Depends what time the owner wanted you back, You'd have training 12-1:30 then expected to have more for 2-3 hours when you get back (all for free) often I wasn't getting in till 11/12

    Mccudly-are you saying people would work for ten hours and not get a dime unless they made a sale. That almost seems like slave labour...
    Correct. I knew one person who didnt sell anything for 6 weeks

    Yeah, but going back to real life; what's wrong with just saying 'No, not interested. Good day to you.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    All those two poor blokes were doing was to try and :money:make a living. There is no need to swear at them.
    Yes bless there cotton socks! Had they DARED trench my door xmas day, (particularly with my polite "NO COLD CALLING" sign plastered on my door, I would not waste my breath with swear words, I would however, politely ask them to gather up their teeth from my doorstep, after knocking them all out for them. ;) But swear??? Naaah not me, actions speak MUCH louder than words.

    What would Jesus do?

    Hmm? :D
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.
