Kiwi here suffering in fast food. Became a part-timer because of university. I let my manager know that the contract about this schedule should switch to full time upon finishing this semester, specifying the date. Since last week she won't text me back about this, despite me asking for specific changes 5 months ago. I am finished with uni with nothing going on except the bills piling up, frantically applying to everything I have experience doing or would be physically able to do. Lucky me is over 18 though, and that means the company with the vacancy should pay me a living wage upon employment, and of course, they find that very yucky! It's much-more-importanter to pay a teenager their summer pocket money (I'm just joking). Because, they are cheaper. So, you see grocery stores suddenly bullying out whoever they can before the summer makes all shifts go to shit, and, I am stuck in weekend work, almost never seeing my working family. Soon you see all stores fill up with teens. Summer sucks ass.
