so the supermarket?...what will i be expected to do and how good is the pay?

😆 i know what you mean.

Depends on where you live, in Australia you would get around nine or ten dollars an hour.

You could be a check out clerk or be unpacking and putting things up onto shelfs etc.

Thats okay 😊

and $5.50 in your currency is basically like $9 AUS.

I can't think of any real cons... except for may the boring and repetitive work.

You need to start somewhere to build up your resume and these places don't really ask for experience.

You don't really get a raise in a super market because there's plenty of people wanting to work there and even you stay there long enough to get one it won't be worth it.

well may after 7 or 8 months when you have a bit of customer experience, you could apply to be a sales person in a clothes shop or something like that.

Everywhere. Being a mercenary such as myself means I need to not stay just in one place.

Whatever you do, avoid Fast Food! Heed those words and you should be fine.

Just try looking for something @ your local mall or shopping center. With the Holidays coming up, I'm sure you'll find something.
