I just got a job at an OTR owned subway and I get paid $14.63 an hour during the week and $16.74 on weekends; I'm 20. I expect it won't go up by much next year when I turn 21. I have a mate that's been there for 22 months (same age as me) and they've kept him on the traineeship for the entire time; he worked his way up from $10 an hour to $14. He said that they stall the traineeship for as long as they can, because seeing as how we're part time (which gives us 4 weeks annual leave, paid sick days, guaranteed hours [I'm at 15 p/w] as well as the certificate which is now a cert III in retail) they don't have to pay us as much as casual employees. Do I think it's fair? Nope. Am I going to quit? Nope. A job's a job.

Had my first shift today, no one likes the higher ups. They do the weirdest things, we're not allowed to use red capsicums because they think that means they're overripe; so they get sent back (off topic, but kinda shows how nuts these people are). We're not even allowed to eat the broken cookies

There will be some bemused residents of SA when they discover that On the Run is on of the 'biggest employers'!!!

Neeeeeeeeever heard of them. I have another shift tomorrow and I plan on asking the manager that's training me, she seems like an actual human.
