- Thread starter live_without_it
- Start date
work consists of (from my observations as a customer)
stacking shelves w/ dvds videos etc
taking ppl's video case they wanna hire, putting the video in the case, asking them for their password and taking their money.
it can get busy at times but when there's a lull you can watch movies, bludge etc...
dont know about pay

What did the crab do?
plus cleaning
Personally I think working in a video store would be kinda like I imagine a jewellery shop to be.. when there's noone there there's very little to do...

Well, short of the normal selling stuff when customers are there, I can't help but wonder what there is to do when it's quiet or there're only one or two customers in the store so you've got too many staff on...
Maybe I'm wrong but that's the way I've always imagined it. There's only so much cleaning I could do or product knowledge I could gain before I'd go insane. I think that's the only decent thing about DSE is that it's always busy and there's something to do...

one of my friends was employed at a video ezy. she was allowed to borrow weekly dvds/videos for free... and she would delete any overdues on her account and my account 
.
I think the company will soon have to change its name to DVD ezy since videos are going out of fashion.

The cost implications would be enormous, its unlikely to change its name as it simply isnt practicalSmokedSalmon said:one of my friends was employed at a video ezy. she was allowed to borrow weekly dvds/videos for free... and she would delete any overdues on her account and my account

No, no no no, MYER is a huge company with all the stores in all locations except NSW called MYER, it made good biz sense to change Grace Brothers to Myer, because they would save shit loads on advertising, as only one set of ads would have to be made.sladehk said:

WOAH!!! how wrong u are...Skittled said:
the thing is there is ALWAYS something to do. [i.e. - returning movies, cleaning shelves]
basically my jobs are...
- ask for customers card, ask for password, put dvd in case, scan, take money, say 'thanx. have a nice day'
- collect returned movies from the chute, scan them, remove discs, check for scratches/damage, put discs away in drawers and cases on the shelves.
- make sure the storeis tidy... sweeping lolly wrappers off the floor, mopping the tiled section, vaccuuming every now and then.
- if its not busy i have to clean the shelves. make sure all cases are straight, tidy and facing forward. New Releases are most important. that always has to be done [atleast every 2-3 days], then each section in the rest of the store gets cleaned about once a week.
- every few weeks we have to clean the actual SHELVES. [take movies off and wash the shelves with soapy water]
its a good job - but there is always something to do. of course if it isnt busy i put movies on and watch them WHILE i do the work - thats always good

- im 17 and get paid $10.35 .....its not much - but the free movie hire makes up for it.Korn said:
- the work is relatively easy when it isnt busy. [weekdays, and nights] there is a lot of it - but if it isnt done it wont be the end of the world... we just dont have an excuse to stand around...
- weekends and school holidays are absolute chaos.
- im a closer.....so i usually work from 6-12.15. its not bad. its usually quieter then, but it really screws with my body clock... i cant get to sleep before 2am now...
other typical shifts are around 5-6 hours for casuals...
openers [which i am now, as well] usualyl work 7-8 hours...
- all in all, its not a bad place to work. if u can handle busy times, giving up ur friday and saturday night to work[ they used to always do that to me.... but now im older and have risen in status, so i get bettershifts and all the juniors get the dodgy ones], rude and abusive customers who refuse to pay their late fee and blame you for it being there,.... then its a decent place to work.
