getting a job

gonna be working at quiznos pretty soon. Well i just need to wait another week or 2 so i can pass a drug test and find out if they are gonna be cool with dreads (my friends the manager and im not sure if he knows im doing it since i keep my hair covered up when im out). My hair has just started locking up a month or so ago so im not about to stop now.

so yay ill be making some real money soon

 

sounds awesome man...sandwich places are great for stoners haha. ive only had a few different jobs but ive never had to take a drug test and hopefully i wont get a job that does require one. my old job was joking around with me one time saying i needed to take one after i put a note up next to the time clock that announced that friday would be "non-casual" friday. i worked in like a factory type thing that made eye glass lenses and it was messy so everyone always wore shitty clothes, well i was tired of it and on non casual friday i wore a suit jacket and a few other people dressed up...one kid wore a tux jacket with the tails and a bowtie...it was a funny day

 

Congrats on getting a job! I'm sure you'll pass your drug test and be able to do something with your dreads. Maybe you can wear one of those hair nets or something haha. Anyways congrats and make that moneyyy

 

sandwich places are great i used to work at a similar place called w.g. grinders. I think its only an ohio chain with maybe one or two stores in PA and IN.

I just got shit luck with the drug testing, this location is part of the college campus and they just made it mandatory for all new employees to take one

 

Damn. I'd quit weed for a couple weeks for a job at a sub sandwich place. Especially quiznos

 

lol, i dont even like quiznos food

 

arty: awesome congrats

 

thanks raz

 

dude their baja chicken is the shiiit

 

i've only been to quiznos once when i worked in a mall. it smells good there though.

 

QFT. I like Quiznos a lot, I just never go there.

 

i love quiznos they have the best salads.
congrats when i went for my interview at quiznos i was so exited but i didnt get it.

If i dont get a job by the time im 18 when i turn 18 theres a lady thats waiting for me at a movie place.

 

thats cool, get your friends to give you a job. Thats how ive gotten all of mine

 

well theres a supermarket thats near me and i have some friends that work there but hes not hiring right now. and the movie place is like a movie gallery and the lady told me she would hire me if i was 18 and to go back wheen i turn 18 so i will if i dont have a job yet and i turn 18 in like a few weeks.

 

fuck it then, just wait untill you turn legal and work at the movies. Sitting in box giving people tickets sounds real chill or just holding the trash bag while people exit the theater. Enjoy your free time while it lasts.

 

whatever you do.. don't fuck the Quizno's oven....

we had a Quizno's here.. think it lasted like 2-3months.. because we have like 4 or 5 subways... an Erbert's and Gerberts... Jimmy Johns.. Winona Sandwich Co.(local sub shop)...

 

Congratulations on finding work. That alone is a big accomplishment these days.

 

has anyone else noticed the lack of work ethic kids have these days? It's rather sickening.. back in the day high school kids were some of your best workers because they were always needing money to buy shit.. and now.. most of them are for shit... and even kids not in high school... act like that they should be paid just because they are there... we just had one girl that had a kid.. pull a no-show and tried to say she was arrested so the manager told her to bring in a police report.. she never called back.. wtf.. you have a kid!!

 

I can't believe Quiznos has drug testing. That's nuts.

When I was in High School, I used to work a movie theaters. It was great, I would work one night during the week and two days on the weekend. Free movies. It was great. Hell, I still have like 100 movie posters just sitting around.

 

Yes- but this doesn't apply to all young people. One of the best all-around co-workers I've worked with happened to be a 17 year old.

In general I think it's cultural... most believe they are entitled not only to a job but a fast track to an easy high paying job- that it is somehow our privilege to be working with them. The good thing about the economic mess is that it may tend to correct that by forcing a level of need that people haven't felt in decades. Value the ability to pay bills and they will value the job and actually go to some effort to keep it.
