Default I got my first job today
Working in a charity shop on a Saturday, I started today it's really fun.

I've picked up everything quite quickly, I like being at the till.

You'll love it Will, I volunteered at PDSA for 2 and a half years and it was great. Plenty of experience to pick up too

First day over

Mistakes I made:

Given customers the wrong card machine receipt.
Charging a woman 50P less than the item was, but she said it was Ł3 (It was Ł3.50)
little trouble working the card machine

Yeah the other kid there was just in the back, perhaps he felt confident with me being it at the till although I did just gravitate towards it lol

Yeah, I did. The only reason I gave it up was time-constraints. I had college 3 days a week, and a paying job at the weekend, so something had to give.

Voluntary work is a great thing to have on your CV and University application, good on you for taking initiative.
