Last Tuesday I started my first day of my L.T.I at Salvos.  I was given the normal introduction on where places were, like the break room and toilets, as well as learning the basics of what my tasks were. These were to sort through clothes, and if they were suitable to be sold, put them on a coat hanger and put them on the rack. Another task I did was sorting through and hanging bed sheets and pillowcases as well as curtains. We found a couple of sets of curtains as well as bed sheets with pillowcases, I would say about four of them were a full set.

I was very worried when I had to make a few trips to the warehouse where we stored items. I was very worried a customer would go and ask me questions that I wouldn’t know, but if that did happen I would most likely just say it was my first day and I am unable to give them the information that they want, and point to where one of the senior workers were so they could get the information they needed. The warehouse was in a different building.

I got to talk with a person with the name JJ.  They were a senior staff member, and I talked with them while I worked; it was a very nice work environment. I also helped to fill the clothes bins so the next shift wouldn’t have to do it themselves at the start of the day.

A notable thing was that two people had dropped off 3 bottles of non-alcoholic wine and shockingly the wine had two types. A normal far cheaper one went for around $7.43 to $63.02, while the other far more fancy looking one with a cork was only $2.43 to $73.05. Those were from highest to lowest prices and shockingly both were marked at 4 to 5 and a half stars.
