Good morning Mr
My name is Monique De Souza W, I am a student of German and I am looking for any opportunity in Supermarket as Rapier girl,or in other areas. I am flexible.
for more information please send pm.
Thank you

Um, huh?

First, you are also addressing many women in this forum.
Second, it may not be morning when we read this.
Third, are you a German student or studying German?
Fourth, are you aware that this is not a Supermarket employment agency? Better to try Migros or Coop.
Fifth, what does your gymnastic capability have to do with this?

You forgot: whats a Rapier girl?

.... probably likes sitting on rockets.

Careful folks, I think the OP may be looking to Rapier girl.

I think she might have meant "cashier". Let's go easy, eh...

I joined this thread expecting this.

@Ouchboy: Thought exactly the same thing when I read the title of the post!!!

And I thought I was the only dumbhead not understanding that.

Hahaha, this is great!


op is from Brasil, so clearly she means that she's studying German as opposed to being German and studying here.

As this is clearly a case of google translate gone wrong, the portuguese word for "rapier" (in english this means a long dueling sword) is "florete" (no idea, blame google if it's wrong I just figure she may realize the mistake this way).

I had this image in mind:

Try Migros, Coop and Denner. Those are the only 3 super-markets I can think of.

I wish we had a rapier girl at our local supermarket. Would really help with removing the packaging.

was looking for work in the market, organizing products and stuff. so that

As a Moderator I am supposed to keep Market Place Threads nice and tidy, remove email addresses and phone numbers, I should make sense of the title and correct spelling mistakes so that search machines can find the Thread.

Well, I don't know about a search machine, but this Thread has me beaten.

This is not a Job Centre and I doubt that a Migros, Coop or Denner boss comes on here to look for new workers, so I suggest you try your luck the more normal way by applying to the firms you would like to work for.

It might help if you could explain what you mean by your idea of the job so that it was slightly more comprehensible. Or perhaps it is just me.

And I forgot - another job for the Moderator - reminding members to give translations of non-English text and requesting them please, when shortening quotes, leave the square backets and their contents in place.

And if the former request doesn't get fulfilled, delete the post.

I've noticed that the bracket thing is related to moving with the arrows when all is selected.

Also if you drag the mouse, it usually detects [/ as the end quote.

Don't worry. Unless your original post has been since edited... a student of German is just that, as is being flexible!

There are plenty of us who cannot resist correcting others' mistakes as it is our profession and then there are wannabes...

It was the "Rapier" that did it as even if you don't know for sure what it is, it sounds odd anyway.

You are right dear (male or female)

It's crap being a foreigner , and I unhappily translated in google.

The profession that I have, I can't do here in switzerland, so I don't have any other options.

every snob fogive me, but I also say what I think <-- this line confused me

We all make mistakes, incredible

He who laughs last, laughs the best.


-- This is more or less what I can gather with my non existent understanding of portuguese.--

I've removed the two posts in Portugese.

Many multi-culti parents use a foreign language between themselves to prevent the children understanding something not for their ears. On EF it is not permitted to write in a language other than English to 'get one's own back' on members who wrote posts which were, for the most part, good-natured and caused by a genuine puzzlement as to the meaning of the OP's words.

That's me!
Probably best to ask in a supermarket, as I believe asking in a supermarket about jobs in a supermarket to be the logical choice.
I believe I have enough.
You're welcome.

And look at my total mastery of the quote tags! Read and weep, losers.
