Brett the owner....

Well, it finally happened!!!!

We got a pay rise at Domino's!!!!!

Now, keeping in mind that this is the first pay rise since petrol was 75c/L (if memory serves correctly).....

So how much did it go up?


twelve cents.

That's right. twelve measly cents. I'm not even going to start 'twelve' with a capital 'T' because it doesn't deserve it.

So that brings our Zone A allowance up to$1.40 (minor correction to my earlier post - the pay was $1.28, not $1.24).......I could tell you why that's so ridiculous, but all you have to do is remember my previous arguments and realise that the pay increase is about a sixth of the petrol increase. It's just a token pay increase, it's absolutely pointless. What makes it even worse is that this increase hasn't come from DPA, it's come from Brett. While effectively that makes no difference, it does mean that DPA still don't give a shit about their staff. But like I said, it's a token pay increase which also proves that the owner also doesn't give a rat's arse or else the pay rise would be something actually meaningful, it'd actually reflect the rising costs. So when I heard I was swearing and complaining a bit....and Nathan just pissed himself laughing and said he's never heard anybody complain so much about getting a pay rise....which I have to admit, was a funny way to look at it!

In explanation to the post, Brett own's 5 domino's stores and is typical of the person who owns 5 stores and still owes the bank money on all of them - ie, stingy as all hell. We don't even have enough hotcell bags now that our revenue has increased by over 250% since he took over, but we don't seem to be getting any more.....

As I was saying, one night Daniel (a manager) and I were on close and whinging about Brett, and we started singing to the tune of Bob the Builder:

Brett the owner....can he be stingy? Yes he can!!!
Brett the owner....can he pinch pennies? Yes he can!!!


That's about all I remember........people tend to go a bit mental sometimes on late night closes.....the lyrics don't exactly work, but they suit him, and it was damn funny at the time....
