Nervous_Dog Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 So the wife wants the niece to get a part time job, thinks it's good discipline. The girl starts school at 7 am, leaves home 6 am to get there, finishes school at 12 Noon, so a part time job in theory quite possible. SO - I am walking past KFC this morning in Fortune, and I see a "Part TIme Workers Wanted" poster. Go in and ask for a form for the niece. She's 16, sorry - have to be 18! MacDonalds also has a part time workers wanted sign Sorry, has to be 18 Interesting as in Australia 15 - 18 year olds make up a lot of the part time Macca's KFC staff, but here in Thailand, I guess because wages are so low, you can get a "Adult" at such a cheap price no one wants the nightmare of training a younger person.

I love that sentence. Seems to be a bit stupid though but TIT and its probably true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAT_AUSSIE Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 The first time I took my wife to singapore was the first time she had ever seen a coke machine. She could'nt believe it, she wondered why Thailand did'nt have such things until I broke down the probable cost of a coke machine against the cost of employing someone to sell coke 24/7. I saw a sign in an Adelaide Thai resteraunt offering employment-in Thai. very illegal and just downright wrong IMO. I felt like ringing up for the job then squeezing them..... FA....

.. Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I saw a sign in an Adelaide Thai resteraunt offering employment-in Thai. very illegal and just downright wrong IMO. I felt like ringing up for the job then squeezing them... Saw one of those in Melbourne as well. And only offering $10/hr, which I believe is below minimum wage. Oh well...not my business.

Old Hippie Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 "...I saw a sign in an Adelaide Thai resteraunt offering employment-in Thai. very illegal and just downright wrong IMO. ..." WHy is it illegal or wrong to advertise in Thai? I mean they obviously want a Thai person...I suppose one could be there legally, and not speak enough English to understand an ad written in English, happens here all the time...or am I missing something?

Flashermac Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I saw a sign at the construction site just off the end of Soi Cowboy for construction workers - in both English and Thai. Huh? p.s. FA, there are soft drink machines on the university campuses. Don't recall seeing them anywhere else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
