^ Man I wish I got $1000 for my work, seeing I have to wear store stock to work. Our 30% discount is good, but stuff is still expensive.

Used to work at a burger shop, we weren't allowed to eat the leftover chips - the assistant manager used to throw whole bowls in the bin. When you're hungry, that makes you murderous.
Only got free food working 5+ hours, so they always put you on 4.5 hour shifts.
Thank God I quit.

Where I work now, my boss and his clients give me money to get them a coffee and something for myself, I get to use the photocopier as much as I want (which, given the cost of photocopying at uni, is actually a huge perk) and my boss takes me to lunch sometimes with his clients/friends.

The hospital i worked at last year was good in handing out stuff. One of the doc's sponsored 10 of us to go to their big 50th bday dinner which was good, coz i certainly wouldnt pay $150 for tiny meals!

For christmas time we got several free lunches which was good...though the pudding was ewk lol.

NOw am at a Qld health hospital...not sure what theyll hand out.

But we do get free vaccinations! The tettanus/diptheria/whooping cough one made me get a big lump in my arm,...which i still have, but gone down, 3 wks later....hurts like hell

Nothing exciting beyond what you'd expect in an office. Stationery, printing, envelopes, and raiding the cookie jar :)
