7 Years, One Supermarket, doing a bunch of stuff. 4 Years, Competing Supermarket, doing a bunch of stuff, plus some other stuff, like Compliance. Compliance is fun!! EVERYONE FILL OUT ACCIDENT FORMS OR I'LL BEAT YOU WITH MY COMPLIANCE STICK RRRAAARRGG TEMP CHECKS TEMP CHECKS STAFF INDUCTIONS (plus I shelved in a library for a few months. Holy shit that was a boring, low paid job. And back then minimum wage meant it barely covered the bus getting to work. Kids and their 12.50 now a days... don't know how lucky...) I should look into a real job.
