Does this sound fair?

Fair is a place where children ride ponies.

That is completely retarded.

If it wasn't a major name, I'd likely think it's a scam. Hell, it is a scam. You should never be required to pay money in order to be employed. The whole purpose is to get paid, right?

That's something typical of a scam company. "Start earning top cash now! Simply send $300 for our starter kit and start earning millions today"

For starters their site needs updating GST is only 6% since July 1, 2006.

What the heck is this for? A job driving trucks, working in a refinery, a gas jockey, etc... ?

What? If you are dumb enough to give us your money, you are just the kind of worker we want.

I have never heard of anything like that. But I could see like a head hunter service, or something like that, charging to test you and find a job for you. But what do I know?

Hmmm ... I just visited the site and it doesn't seem out of hand to me. Unless I'm totally misreading the site, it's not a site for getting a "job" at an ESSO station ... it's a site for applying for "retailer" status (franchise, maybe?). Here's the ap link right on the page:

If I'm wrong ... and if this is what people have to go through to get a job pumping gas ... do let me know. It just seems like the page is more than that.

I'd have to agree with Alewest if that's what it is. $107 would be a drop in the bucket for a retailer. If that's to apply for a job then I'd say bullshit....
