Not that bad...
... I spose, but now I look back it was taking the piss.
Started working for a farm retail shop (selling the odd equestrian bit of crap too) when I was a few months over 15.
£2.75 an hour... Warehouse work. Unpacking goods & lugging them round as well as pricing. But also collecting customer orders.
The smallest bag of feed was 25kg. In fact they more or less all were, apart from the odd 30kg and the fuck off fertiliser bags at 50kg.
Being the muscle bound rower I now am (ha) it doesnt seem that much, but at the time, feck!
No wonder I put my back out. Should have sued the fuckers - no training or nuffink. Only common sense - cha!
Did get a pay rise a few months later. £2.82!!!
I worked bastard hard for those pikey twats.

On another note. Now mostly defunkt supermarket screwed me over by not paying me inline with the fecking shelf stackers. I was stock management for fecks sake - actually had to think about my job.

Then an insurance company did me out of a hundred quid or so by *accidently* overlooking a pay rise of the basic pay rate because I'd had an increase in line with my sales rate. After that increase my pay was still about 40p less than the now basic rate.
They're all bastards.

And people wonder why I've signed up to a medical testing clinic.

Ha. I ranted. I feel better.
