I am in the process of being hired at that Hive of scum and villany, Walmart. I get 3 times as much pay in a week than I would in a month at my old job. Awesome :D.

I'm going shopping :D

Awsome... that you got a job that is. ;)

Don't forget the empolyee discount!

congratulations!
Going shopping before you even get paid? Fantastic idea!

Wow--what kind of shit pay were you getting before that Wal-Mart is tripling it?

More than tripling. It's a 12fold increase. 4 weeks in a month and so on.

Anyways, his previous pay would be well below minimum wage if he was telling the truth, so he's either making shit up or is an illegal immigrant.

Wow--what kind of shit pay were you getting before that Wal-Mart is tripling it?

I got paid 250$ a month while at college. 12 hours a week, 5.15

I now get 600$ a week. Not quite tripling, but I didn't count in overtime or benefits.

Now factor in the massively increased hours, which you neglected.

Also, $5.15 an hour? How long have you been unemployed? 10 years?

I was going to ask! :p Damn! I don't knwo how people survive walmart salaries much less a salary that is only 30% Walmart pay.

That aside, congratulations. I knwo how it feels to finally get to work again when you been out of work and feeling useless and bored and stressed.

$600 a week or a month?

How can this be? Isn't Wal-Mart the real Evil Empire?

Judging by what he's saying he's getting $600 a month, not a week. He ain't goin' to Sizzler...

He said a week. Maybe he's managing the store rather than stocking the shelves. Are Sizzler restaruants still in existence?

Jobs are for hoser's and money is overrated.

Yes. Some have pretty good salad bars too.

It's ironic that the thing that sucks most about Sizzler is the steak.

Exactly what I was thinking.

It's the best damn utility-grade beef money can buy!

He said a week.

He also said that he was tripling his income. If he was getting $600 a week he'd be taking in nine and a half times his current wage.

Bite your toung. It's the best damn utility-grade beef money can buy!
For a second my imgination messed up your sentence and it said, "It's the best utility-grade monkey you can buy."

That too.

He also said that $600 a week is not quite triple $250 a month, but he hadn't calculated overtime, etc. Since $600 a week would be over 9 times as much money and $600 a month would fit better with the rest of his statements (i.e. not quite triple what he was making) leads to the conclusion that he is in fact making $600 a month and simply mis-spoke(typed).

Not an Eddie Murphy fan, I see...

(on the subject of cheap chain steak places, does Happy Steak still exist anywhere? I remember that as a kid in the mall...)

Yep--that's why I asked. And while going from $250 a month to $600 a month is indeed a lifestyle changing jump, it's still Wal-Mart quality money.

Damn-Now I want a utility grade monkey. I'm not even sure what it would be, but I want it...

You can go to Sizzler and get the all-you-can-eat shrimp and monkey and find out.

Thats gotta be either a rhesus monkey or a capuchin. Although you could argue squirrel monkeys for durability in climate extremes

It would be meat from older monkeys with a moderate to low fat content that has good flavor but remains tough even when cooked properly.

Who are you living off of?

Some South-African childs intestines. Thinking of moving though. The Proventricular Worms just moved in next door in the stomach, so now I get the aftermath of their parties.

Damn. I was kind of hoping it'd be a monkey with a tool belt...

He went from 250 a month to 2400 a month

No, that's a tool-belt monkey. The UAW sponsored legislation that banned them from the US along with wrench-wielding octopi in the Protect American Jobs campaign of 1987.

That or was doing odd jobs

Well got hired at my new job :) at 2100 a week (roughly)

Or working as a lab assistant. They can pay students less than minimum wage in school.

Which is why I asked if it was a typo or a slip of some sort, because the story and the math don't work out the same way. Jeez.

Just trying to clarify. You seemed unsure.

Tips are split between all waiters, waitresses, and waithermaphrodites.

Nothing worse than living next door to partyers I suppose.

Still theoredicaly possible if the staff sucked :)

Well it wasn't all bad at first, still got some of the good stuff from the stomach, but then they invited all their friends and now I've got nothing. Lifes tough for us tapeworms, all them vaccines and dontations. Plus I've now gotta compete against other things like SARS and the Avien Brid flu for noteriety.

Eh, yeah-re-reading the first post that is what he said. My miss.

Yes, 600$ a week.

ETA: That money is going to be invested. No worries, no big spending here so far.

Boo! You should buy yourself a solid gold backscratcher.

Go blow it on something fun; that's what it's there for.

Good for you. That money you invest now will be so much more appreciated when you turn 60.

Guns?

I know I really want to get a hunting lease and probably an ATV or crap car to use as a lease vehicle.

:D

I know I could stand a visit to a big chinese buffet. I need to put on weight.

Congrats--is that based on per hour or is that straight salary?

The most common answer I usually receive is hookers and blow :D .

I'd love to stay with this job, but it's only for the summer until I return to college in the fall.

per hour, with hopefully a ton of overtime.

Sure, whatever you want. Money was created to be spent so spend it....still overrated though. Plus if you spend it on guns, you'll never need money again.

You work at WM, so it's about the same as being unemployed.

per hour, with hopefully a ton of overtime.

Doing what at Wal-Mart? I'm pretty sure random workers don't get paid that much there... unless you're a supervisor or something.

per hour, with hopefully a ton of overtime.
Well, you won't get much overtime at Wal-Mart--that's what they have salaried employees for. But enjoy it as much as you can. Like others on this thread, I've known what it's like to make jack shit for pay and eat ramen noodles 6 days a week (I splurged one day a week and ate mac & cheese), so I can commiserate.
