Pastor Dave's Highlights

[Latestarter]

Have to agree with Bruce... I mean really, I'd think a pastor would make a very exceptional/responsible employee. Of course there'd have to be no proselytizing on the job or anything of the sort, but I'd expect that to be self evident. Best wishes Dave!

It's not much different than in public or the "marketplace". Small subtle and not so subtle, but not pushy evangelism is usually tolerated. You know, telling customers to "Have a blessed day" can go far.

Well TSC did offer me the job, but low balled me on the pay offer. I took it anyway. We'll see.

My TSC has checkouts who say "have blessed day" -- not Pastors either. Glad you took the job, pay increases happen. It will help you with the thing you feel you need a little extra to handle well. I work for less than I want but it works out and I'm happy to have a job -- for many seniors there is no employment available and they often need a little help.

Congrats on the job offer. Glad you took it.

Even though the pay is not what you want, there are the discounts on the feed and supplies for the animals so it will add up. Plus, it gets you out there and if you don't feel like it is a good fit, will give you some current "retail" experience, and may lead you to find something else. It will also give you a chance to see how working around your pastor duties will go.
I think it will be a good thing for now at least.

@farmerjan, that sounds much wiser than I am feeling abt it. I do agree with you and plan to go in with a positive attitude.

I would guess TSC starts pretty much anyone other that execs at minimum wage. Might be why they seem to always have "now hiring" on their signs. Can't live on minimum wage.

This particular store was opened in April and had something like 4 employees quit all at once. The manager and I discussed one price, but the Asst Mngr had the follow-up interview and offered a totally different price. It kinda threw me for a loop, but it'll be ok.

When do you start?

It seems weird that all 4 employees quit all at once.
