"discovering faults" sounds like something that belongs on Rogue Traders. Tell somebody about these jokers.

I hope he's reported them to the Office for Fair Trading

OH has just come back from an interview for a position with a new to our area company that fits tyres,exhausts,primarily and does other repairs also,it is a largish company,family owned so our research tells us,and has been established for 40 years...no problem you would think with that,the interviews being conducted in a McDonald's as the unit being built is not completed..ok fair enough,by a Phil Mitchell look alike,the joke started when PMLA asked OH what wage he was expecting ,now not being greedy admitted he would be happy with X amount oh no you don't says PMLA (Phil Mitchell look alike) we don'pay wages every thing you earn is bonus only,you have to "discover faults such as brakes,pads discs ,cv joints exhausts" that need to be replaced now,every replacement has a payment value,if you don't make a good bonus you are out the door,we may if you are good enough offer you a wage if your bonus is good enough but you then have to increase your sales to merit it and so on,ladies this company is called formula 1 and if you have one in your area and you are unfortunate to need their services be aware you are likely to be fleeced and ripped off by being told by wage hungry staff that you need replacement parts when you do not...if OH is offered a position he will be turning it down....angry nellie
