First Job

[MrCrowley]

Ok, well I have the option of working at 2 different Mitre10(hardware) stores but im not sure what ones yet...

the first store is close to my house and I have a friend working there and its also small.Bad:small,expensive almost no plumbing supplies.
Good: Friend works there,Close to me.

The second store is about 30min away, its a mitre10 mega and has one huge plumbing section.Bad: I don't know anyone who works there.
Good:loads of pipe,cheap and its a big store.
any tips appreciated.

EDIT:another thing is i hate working checkout and thats all you do at the samll store really but at the big store theyre moving(down the street) so they need people to help move stuff and are getting rid off some stock...

the one close to your house with the friend, you dont need plumbing THAT frequently... plus small means less work lol

[MrCrowley]

Yeah but the plumbing there is really expensive and I dont have my drivers licence yet so its hard to get any plumbing stuff. And when i said almost no supplies they only have brass threaded adapters up to 20mm and down-pipe... not even DWV! And i should get a discount on the pipe as its allready expensive enough, $60($35US) for 3" tee(PN18)

def do the closer one if you don't have your drivers license!

[MrCrowley]

well my parents can give me a lift to the other store btw the 'closer' store is about 5km away the other store being close to 30km

Go further away. More pipe, You'll get to know people, Probably better income.


Another pointless ramble from your forum gorrila.

I say work with your friend and when you need pipe, drive. Im sure you working with a friend will make the time pass MUCH faster.

Bigger store means more women!!!! Less chance of getting busted for bullshiten with your friend, you will get to meet new people, learn more about the world, bussiness, people, your community, better chance of pamotion(sp). I say take the job at the bigger store.

For now go for the smaller one why? Simply it is close and you know people there. Also your freind will feel bad and left out.

[experament_u2]

work at both at the same time 8)

get ur freind to work at the better one

[MrCrowley]

yeah ill see if he can get a transfer lol, another good thing is if i work at the big store I will get discounts and they have a huge pipe range....unlike the other store where its over-priced with no pipe.

[kris]

thats a great idea

[Flying_Salt]

I'd go for the big one, see if your freind can get transferred. If it'll hurt his feelings though, work at the small one.

A bigger store means you are more likely to get time off or able to swap shifts when you need it. This is helpful if you are a student. I was also thinking about getting a job at a hardware store, it sounds way more fun than working at a supermarket (so repetitive, no variety).
