1001 rules at Thorpe Park

I had reported for work at Thorpe Park last thurs..had induction with 4 other guys..& mind u, it's a proper induction..with pple from HR showing us pwrpt presentation & stuff..lasted from 9-4..din think they had such things for seasonal stuff(yup, tat's wat i am..not temp, not part-time but seasonal..autumn season actually)

Aiyo..i din expect they have soooo many rules for their staff..from appearances to uniform to behaviour..u know wat i think is the most 'amazing' rule? Staff must not be seen carrying food from their lockers to the canteen..all food must be put into the company's lunch box & then brought to the canteen..i wouldn't have mind it so much if not for the fact i had to pay 1 pound for the stupid lunchbox..-.-

Yes, i do da bao my lunch to work..since they only have like sandwiches(& of cos, fish & chips) in the canteen(staff are also not allowed to purchase food from the outlets while on duty) i reckon i might as well prepare my own sandwiches..a sandwich costs an ave of 2 pounds here leh(as if one sandwich is enuf for me) & like i mentioned in 53 other previous blogs, i'm turning into a sour olive here..poor egg i am..wat to do..sigh..

While we're on the topic on food..staff are to drink out of the company's water bottle on the park premises(which most of the staff happily ignored, thank goodness)

Anyway, yes..i do have a uniform..it's a blue polo(not unlike the one my ex-colleagues would be so familiar wif) wif black cargo pants/berms..not too bad lah huh?

Shoes must be all black if long pants are worn or all white if berms are worn..i have neither, so i ended up buying a pair of all-black trainers from them for 15pounds..& guess wat brand is it? Hi-tech.. -.-
