New Job

[ajlelectronics]

Best of luck. Enjoy dealing with the good customers, and let the madness of the bad customers wash over you.

If you have not been in retail previously, your eyes will be opened.

Congratulations on the new job, glad to hear you’re enjoying it. Spent many an hour ogling the MM catalogue as a kid especially when they used to sell go-karts. We need a thread where you give us the heads up on the upcoming deals.

What have you bought today at MM

I have been having problems with my mental health just recently and have put a lot of weight on.

You'll be ok - try and relax and well done!! If it makes you feel any better I was on antidepressants for some time and apart from wanting to fall asleep every time I sat down, I put on a huge amount of weight - apparently it is one of the side effects.

After only three days, my mental health has already improved, I actually made 4/5 sales to completion today, first few with the manager looking over my shoulder and the rest, he was near, but working on something else. according to the structured training, this shouldn't happen until week 4. Remember, I've never done retail before. Still loads to learn. Unfortunately I'll probably bore the heck out of you lot for the rest of the week!

Does your branch have anti ram raid bollards outside or is it in a nice area unlike my local branch.

is that Hay mills? It's not Scott arms. we have a nice little four space carpark in front of ours (the carpark warden is a bit overzealous though).

Hay Mills, if you're lucky there is space to park in the lay by to load up, if not you have to use their steeply sloping carpark round the back

I used the Scott Arms branch for a few years until I moved to the other side of Birmingham.

I used to live just by the scott Arms one, on wilderness lane .. never went in though,
Wolverhampton one has plenty of parking

I think if I worked at machine mart I don't think I'd earn any money. Just coming home with tools at the end of the week

 

[roofman]

They are very handy shops for the "need it now" item...bought a few automotive tools from there over the years and pretty impressed with the longevity of each tool.

Abserloute godsend sometimes. And open Sundays.

 

[brightspark]

have a wander through now and then just to keep up with prices and see what they have. as said open on sundays so handy if your stuck for something

 

[bourbon]

Our range of Automotive tools are really good, some quite specialized. You will all have to pop in and see me if you are in the Area

nearest one to you. But I won't be at that one. commute is too far.
@brightspark I haven't found your nearest one yet.

 

[dobbslc]

I know that one but it's miles away and has poor parking.

 

[bourbon]

@dobbslc, Do you know of any suitable buildings?
