Awww no I always seem to get loads of freebies or reductions from places I have worked, where do you work?
Also it the sweet shop job sucked after a while, the manager kept going off to the pub leaving me in charge for hours and I wasn't aloud to leave the stand for the loo or to have a lunch break so ended up having to have sweets for every lunch. Plus one weekend I was asked to separate by colour 2 massive 3ft x 3ft boxes of gummy bears ah.

Yep Lol! But the pay is good, everyone starts at £7.24 an hour then it raises after 9 months to around 7.60 or something.
Exam Invigilator for IELTS. Great pay, a lot of money comes from just working 3 Saturdays a month when it's exam season but it's slowed down. Still work there. But now I'm a temp at GAME.

Frist part-time job was an as waiter in a pub. Did not pay too well but free drink and food that sort of made up for it.
