The commission depends on whether you get a job in the shoe department or can sell socks/insoles at the till though. But if you can pull it off it adds a nice little amount of money to your monthly paycheck (or if it's the Karrimor commission, a bit of extra pay in November).

Yeah that's true. At my store though if someone forgets to write their payroll onto the box the till staff is allowed to steal the commission (:

Actually, if a number isn't written down you're meant to put it through as 999, as otherwise you're essentially taking credit for someone else's work which to me just doesn't seem fair at all, not to mention it could make for an awkward situation if you sold several that way and are then put on the spot and being asked how you've managed to sell so many.

Well being in the shoe department I think it's unfair that tills don't get a chance to get as much commission, so if I'm working on my own I tell the till people they can put their own number in if an insole or running shoe appears without a payroll :L if they do steal it off me then I'll have a problem

That's exactly the same as at my store! it's why I always make sure to put it on - and sometimes I walk to the till to put it on myself :colondollar:

You can work there if you're 16 as long as it's after the last week in June that you're in school (in other words, you can work at your store from the beginning of July). This will be the reason why all the other places said no for you being too young as (I think) it's the National requirements?

There could be a high staff turnover, I know it's the case with the store I work at, if you wait a couple of months after schools finished then vacancies should be open again

Or you could hand in your CV and say you can only start from summer.
I know in my store a couple people are going to leave during or before summer because they are going on holidays etc. Or people are moving out for uni, or people are busy with other things like internships during this summer.

What do you mean exactly, Eternal? As far as I'm aware, you don't really get one aside from when the national minimum wage goes up. I've been at my store for over 2 years and never gotten one above NMW in that time.
