Would you do this?

A few months ago i put my name down to work in the local pizza place at night.
I can't work during the day as i have 2 little un's, so yesterday i got a call asking me if i wanted the job.
The hours are 4pm-2.30am, wages are 60 quid but he keeps 10 of it every week incase you leave without notice.
I would be doing counter work and possible helping in the kitchen with food as well.

erm dont do it!
No normal place would keep £10 of your wages incase you would leave, i'd steer well clear :eek:

Ehh !!!!!!?

Must be an awful job with a high turnover of staff. Money isn't good either. Avoid.

hi hun, that does not sound good - avoid! Keeping £10 a week back? Nope, not normal practice!

Never mind the money stop and think of all the abuse and drunken idiots you are going to have to contend with up till 02:30 in the morning agree with other posters stay well clear!.

It's barely (but just!) minimum wage for unsocial hours and proabably an ear load of drunken abuse. You get part of your wages retained for no good reason (for how long? How many weeks wages? Do you get interest on the retained earnings?)By the time you get home & get to bed it's at least 3am, then you have to get up at a reasonable hour & deal with your children the next day. I wouldn't do it.

Hi
I was wondering, do you drive?
I work as a home care worker and they always need evening staff, it's nothing to gorey in the evenings either, mainly just check calls or heloing people into their jammy's.
Only thing is you need a car to do the job.

Thanks folks, think i am going to give it a miss, not worth the hassle at the end of the day. I am not that desperate for cash just thought it could be a wee bit extra.
I will look into the home care work, as i have just passed my driving test.

I used to work for dominos for awhile when i needed extra income..its not that bad really..better if you dont have to deliver..can get a bit hairy sometimes

Witholding £10 a week!!!?

Thats disgusting. I have worked places where the first weeks wages are withheld in case you walk out but £10 a week is outrageous. Steer very well clear, sounds highly dodgy.

And what if you work there for a few years? I find it hard to believe they willl hand you all that cash back (one years withheld wages is £520!)

Glad you've seen the light OP, all us DFW want jobs but not ones that take the p!
