LCBO - I Said No No No

Went to my interview for Christmas hours at the LCBO this morning. I had to read pages of stuff about what to wear, what to expect etc. It pays $10/hr, no guarantee of # of hours, must be on call, able to lift boxes, work in the warehouse, do cash, stock shelves, janitorial duties and more. So, I figured at $10 minus union dues and with my current rate of taxes that it wasn't worth it.

I then went to Fortino's and talked to the Produce Manager who was also looking for help. He was ready to hire me on the spot. It starts at $8.50/hr, maybe 28 hours per week, union requires 1 or 2 night shifts but the rest of the time the shift would start at 6 am! I don't think so. I'm a bit disappointed but it just isn't worth it. Maybe in 2008 it might make some sense but not this year. Oh well - I'll just have to spend more time with Linda and the dog!
