Yes you can. Remember that an organization is like a tree full of monkeys. Those who look down only see smiling faces, while those who look up only see ********

Not 'til you get your first paycheck, looking for $7.75 per hour x the hours you worked, only to find you're taking home about $6.50 per hour worked, after taxes.

(maybe I shouldn't have spoiled the fun)

Congrats, and welcome to the world

p.s. Kind of a funny name for a grocery store "H.E. Butt Grocery Company", until you realize it's a guy's name. So; can we nick-name you "cartman" now, since you'll be chasing down carts in the parking lot? #2 son did that work for 2 years, and we teased him all the time. I myself worked evenings and weekends at a Mom-and-Pop grocery store through high school.

What are the taxes like?

Here the first 6k is tax free (worked out on a per week basis)... a third of my pay disappears back to the government... apparently it pays for schools, uni's, police, firemen, nurses and something called a defence force...oh and roads.

Up until know I would say Bob Carr's pockets too Papewaio. Damn 49% plus a base tax on top of that (if you a rich 'man born outside wedlock' that is), and its still damn hefty if your not too.

What really gets my goat is that we (NSW's humble folk) have to subsidise for the rest of those ungrateful GAHs, while our roads remain the worst in the nation, etc (can't be bothered to go into further detail...); even though we contribute most of the revenue, economy, workforce and we have the largest population.
