Pot of luck in the lead up to London Town.


So I have been injected with my Botox, landed myself a live in Pub job in London and things seemed on the up. Whooooo…….. wait wait that just seemed all too easy. Because that was…

I was coming down with something after my hospital holiday and new improved knee. I learned my bank account had been skimmed money on 2 occasions, nearly 620pounds, which is nearly double that in aussie dollars was taken so I had to cancel my card, ring the bank, and then come Sunday after my last shift and instead of being a good girl, I did what I did best at 18 went out on a massive pub crawl bender, 2 days before I was to move into London. Getting home t something o’clock I went to the loo and dropped my phone in the toilet, whooo it was working like a charm, until I did a backup. So Tuesday left me with moving day, still hungover from Sunday night’s efforts, and had to get my phone sorted,

2 train trips to Barnes back, trip to Covent Garden apple store (200pounds later) and crook as dawg… (Google the journeys) then to find the staff accommodation disgusting like the grosses thing I have ever stayed in. the kitchen, I didn’t start work till Thursday so I had time to sort my shit out..

 

Then work time, woweee not all pubs are as good to work at as the Engineer.

My work conditions – in my contract in big red capitals letters (key points)

Minimum wage 6.20 pound

No staff meals for front of house, only kitchen staff, no knock off drinks

Not allowed to eat or drink in the pub on the day off or after shift

Kitchen for live in staff is shared with live out staff (Grosssssssss) I took pics it worse than I can’t even put it into words,

Tips only get given if they feel the staff deserve them and the till is down no tips. And I felt like I was back working at McDonalds with all the check lists and rules. So I quit.

 

I took a risk and Quit in hope I was to land a job in London……
