Farewell Amart (I will miss my staff discount !)

[Rocket75]

If you are thinking about visiting me at the Virginia store, better be quick, cause I finish up there on Friday :cheer: .

Thanks to those of you that have come in and had a chat or bought some stuff over the last year, it was good to meet you and help where possible.

Who knows where I'll end up next, I'll keep you all posted.

I can see it now Rocket Rods fishing and camping store with generous discounts for Southern chilly members:laugh: Good luck with the next venture mate

[ellicat]

Sounds like you're opening and closing some doors. Good luck. Hope the next door you open is a good one.

[Dan23]

Wow, that's a shame for me. Now I'll actually have to go into the store to ask the salesman if he has something in stock :laugh:

So will you keep working in the fishing industry? I need a career change, my job is way too stressful, maybe I should apply for your job:cheer:

[Rocket75]

Thanks guys, I'm not sure what I'll end up doing at this stage, no firm plans.

Had a change in management recently and they had some ideas that I didn't like, so I'm off, their loss! :blush: :silly: .

I am keen to stay in tackle trade at some level, but I imagine the opportunities are limited (other than retail). I will be looking thoughB)

Hi Dan

I don't know how much you earn to go with the stress, but I hazzard a guess you would get much less of both (money and stress) in my old job at Amart! Good work if you can live on award wage and still buy heaps of fishing gear at the same time (is you girlfriend rich?:silly: )

Best of luck Rocket - if you get a labotomy, and want to work in the heat and flys playing with 100kph traffic, I am sure we could find you something that pays about half what you were getting!

Rocket

Yeah, she earns a bit but doesn't give any to me.

Hmm, don't think i can handle a pay cut. Seeing as I spend at least $100 a week on tackle these days lol:laugh:

[2 wheels]

good luck in your next venture Rod ,I'l miss having a mass of knowledge on tackle issues in the area but i'l still drop in to purruse the range and raid the bargin bins

[boon]

All da best in ur future ventures rod! Do let us know if u do stay in the tackle business and I'll definitely visit u there

[reef_raider]

you cant leave ur staff discount!!! you have to get a job at a tackle store lol trust me, i left my staff discount and had to pay full price for nearly a year and now im back at my staff discount and its great!

[Feral]

I tell you staff discount must be better these day than when I was working in sales, When I first started with a "top end of town" Jeweler - staff discount was 5%, rising to 7% after 5 years service.!

With my staff discount that meant stuff was only 50% dearer than Wallace Bishops!

[reef_raider]

haha, staff discount these days means 25% off (well at bcf anyway) making it slightly more enticeing then normal

[Malcolm]

The more you spend the more you save

[reef_raider]

now thats a good way i can put it to dad, " hey dad if you buy two things then you will save more than if you were to buy one"

wonder if he will fall for it

[faulked]

its a real shame your leaving rod no more cheaper lures and hooks but im sure you will move on to biger and better things and in the meantime i can be a bad influence and take you fishing heaps cya on the water soon hope fully youll get a job testing lures or something

[Dan23]

Hey yeah, now you have no excuses not to come out fishing with us at dawn O clock!!:laugh:

[Angus]

good luck Rod. Im sure you will have no issues finding a good placement.

[Plastic Man]

Either that or the Southern Chillies Worm and Native Grub Farm!

[Aaron H]

Thats not bad Brian, when are we converting your backyard into a compost heap:laugh:

[Nastymind]

Put your resume in at any of the Anaconda stores.

I`m pretty sure one of them might snatch you up.

I can`t imagine the pay being much more but the staff discounts and pro deals are alot better than everywhere else that`s for sure.

[ellicat]

That's a generous suggestion Nastymind.

You might be a little nervous as you head off to work the first day when you get back though;) :laugh:
