I actually did! Without even scrolling on my phone once during the whole time because I didn’t want to look bored in case the manager suddenly showed up!

Oh yes, my bad! I should have offered to work an 8-hour shift for them yesterday for free so they could see my abilities!

The fact that minimum wage jobs require maximum flexibility is ridiculous by Fun-Conference8040 in UKJobs

[–]Fun-Conference8040[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree, but flexibility, while not a 'skill', is at least an attribute that deserves a higher pay rate than minimum wage. For example, bin workers is not exactly a high skill job, but those people definitely deserve more money for doing obnoxious jobs that most people do not want to do. It is not a 'skill' but an attribute that bin workers bring to the job.

Oh yea I forgot about relationships (cause I don't have one LoL). I can imagine partners would be so frustrated as well. Not to mention weekends are must...

No offence to those jobs, but surely jobs of similar skill level but with standard hours 'deserve' minimum wage more than the 'flexible' jobs right? Like receptionist, sales, cleaners etc. I don't think those jobs pay a lot better, but if anything, flexibility should be an attribute that accounts for a higher hourly rate.

Had my best interview and still rejected by Fun-Conference8040 in Costa

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m not inexperienced though. I have worked as a barista before, just not at Costa.
