Oxfam
I signed up for a voluntary job at Oxfam on Tuesday and have just
arrived back from my first session, and it was great! I brought and
application with a couple of references and then got started almost
immeadiately. First, I was shown round the rather large shop in
Broomhill, Sheffield, and I was given a health and safety induction.
My first job, along with another boy who had joined, was to take a
large group of donated items downstairs using the old fashioned
industrial lift. We carried them in but it was a bit of a sqeeze – the
other boy Tom decided to take the stairs while I manned the lift. It
was rather difficult to get the doors shut with all the stuff present
but I did it, and then travelled down into the basement, where the hub
of the operation was located. This did not go smoothly – I hit the
button, waited until I felt I’d stopped, and opened the door to a
brick wall. Eventually however I arrived and we began sorting the
stuff.
Shortly afterwards I was introduced to the till and how to work it. I
then operated this for some time with someone keeping an eye on me,
and eventually was left to it for about an hour, serving customers.
Then I signed off the morning shift, counted and organised the money,
and then left. I can’t wait until next week!
you opened the lift to a brick wall, you plonker!!! Anyway glad you enjoyed it, I find working on the till in my dads shop a bit boring because no-one ever comes in the shop
It was rather shocking, when I expected to see the shop and found I couldn’t go anywhere! What does your Dad’s shop sell?
he sell craft stuff like glitter and cards, he aslo sells beanies and bears
hehehehe silly sean
