Job offer

That's nice, so do lots of people! But you won't get any help here with that attitude-

You haven't stated what qualifications you have nor what kind of job you are looking for.

WOW!
With a CV like that I want you right now - or maybe not

Obviously this person is not a native English speaker with underdeveloped skills in sales and marketing and self-promotion.

On the positive side, it's direct, it's simple, it conveys the message and is efficient in leaving out unnecessary grammatical niceties. 

On the negative side,  well.....  this is just a facade for an underlying agenda.

The message really is, I want money, I want to improve my situation and I want to come to a country I know nothing about and where don't speak a relevant language.    And I want you - whoever you are - to help me out of altruism or possibly stupidity.

I'd suggest the OP  goes back to the drawing board, explains the situation, outlines goals and objectives and how  having "job" will assist both the OP and the job offerer.  If all fails, keep back the sympathy angle from the audience  as a reserve.

McDonalds's had a sign outside saying they pay 200,000 for day shift and 300,000 for night shift, of course you need to be able to say do you want fries with your order.Have to know how to count back change and wash your hands.
It's so easy now to give back change  the computer tells the clerk exactly how much to give back.
When I was a teenager and car hop( car waitress) in Ca. we had to have our own start up bank and make exact change or the funds would come out of our own pockets, believe me one learned how to make exact change fast or they worked for nothing.
Used the old style cash registers too...You know the ones where you had to know how to count in your head and not on your fingers.
I'm sure those employment agencies have jobs for day labor in the worst case, maybe working in a meat packing co. or building materials yard? Immigrants can't always get a dream job right away, have to pay your dues sometimes.

These days, a McDs server has to have knowledge of another language particularly in the tourist areas.  One of my older Fluffyettes used to work part time in McDs in the UK and said it's actually quite a good environment for teamwork and time work.   She was on a "call down" so she could be asked to go to XYZ branch in the area to fill in for staff shortages.  Apparently every branch works exactly the same way so it's easy drop into work there without any retraining. I suspect it's the same in Aldi or Lidl and possibly Tesco.  I note that in our local Aldi there's quite a staff turnover. Presumably they get paid by shifts/afternoons/evenings.  Surprisingly, Aldi  is considered better paid than say Ikea.

Interesting about making change or cash discrepancies (not theft of course) however they come about coming out of your own pocket.  That's become illegal in my own country and possibly would be illegal here.     

There's a minimum wage to be paid and if these punishment deductions force the pay below the minimum level, there could be fines on the employer and restitution required to the employee.   Article about it here (in the UK) - shot girls.

Oh, I was paid min. wage plus tips as a car hop, they just asked us to have our own bank as we worked outside the full service restaurant area in the lot.
Started with say $20. to make change for the customers. At the end of the shift we counted all food receipts and went over the count with the manager, we both signed off for the money I took in for the day, all left over was my start up bank and my tips.
We paid taxes on our wages but back then reporting tips was up to each person to do at tax time.
We also had a full 40 hours of training with a pro car hop before being relased to the public.
It was sort of "sexist" back then, you had to fit into a uniform and they only had so many sizes available. I kn ow when I was 6 months pregnant I had the largest uniform size 8 or 10. I had to quit because my tummy was growing, even the manager asked when I would quit so the public wouldn't have to look at a "fatty". I was too small even then to look pregnant in materiany clothing. Only bought about 3 of those outfits for mom's since I was nearly 8 months along before I looked the part, I just looked a bit bloated before 8 months. That's the nice thing about being tall.
My son worked as a grill cook at McDonalds at age 17 in New Mexico. In 2 weeks time he had moved up to assistant manager under an older women.
He quit about 4 weeks into the job because he hated the manager, she had them all waiting for her to do the night count with my son helping her.
He was done with the count in less then 30 mins and she recounted for another few hours. She was an idiot. I know because I sat outside waiting to give my son a ride home until 1 or 2 am when the place closed at midnight.
He later went to KFC then Taco Bell and a Bagel shop, the over to Intel as lead on his crew before going to Vegas.
He said a mental handicapped guy worked at KFC, his job was to sit in the back and remove all old chicken off the bone to reuse in the chicken pies. My son told me I was NOT allowed as his mother to ever eat a chicken pie from KFC. Word to the wise...
One big reason my son quit MC Donalds was he seriously thought he should replace that old women as manager. He may of been right but he was only 17 years old with 2 weeks experience. At least he has self confidence...
My sister's friend in the 1970's was a Taco Bell manager, they can make some serious money if the shop is in the right location etc.
I think my son also worked for a short time at a burger place, forgot the name, Burger King maybe? My gym friend was the manager and my son said she was hard to work under so he quit.
Another friend of mine a co-worker in a beauty salon had a second job at Intel  in Rio Rancho, NM.
She helped my son get hired there, he made pretty good money since we never charged him for rent or food.
He however refised to learn to drive until he was 24.
I had to drive him back and forth to all of his jobs plus go to work myself, he was a pain that way, no bus service to speak of in NM.
I'm not sure why he never wanted to drive, most young guys can't wait to drive.
Guess he perfered to drive me crazy.

I see, well, that's a difference in US and British English.  We call "bank" something else, i.e. "float", presumably because it floats you through until you have a flow of income (from serving).  Bank sounds a bit like Monopoly!

These days, I've noticed that table service restaurants usually have tablets to capture the orders at the table so that means there receipts are automatically held centrally.  Then of course, they have card readers so the transaction can be done there and then by plastic at the end of the visit.   I don't know about the USA, but they often have a prompt on the screen for the tip in Europe.   If you pay by card, the tips are then known automatically.   Cash payment obviously preferred as it's anonymous but then we'd get into presumptive taxes - i.e. if a waiter/server, therefore we think you do say, $100 a week in tips which is income.  PIA.

The etiquette in Germany (which I like as a system) is to round up - so if it's 18 EUR, round to 20 EUR.  Gets awkward if it's 11 EUR as it's too much to add 4 EUR but easier to add 2 EUR to 13 to make the change from EUR 15 easier (2 EUR coin back) and still a reasonable amount without feeling painful.    I found the system in the US of adding a percentage as awkward.   

Mrs Fluffy and I were debating how much to tip the driver for the dog food delivery.  I think 200-500 HUF is about right as it's easy to make as a note or as change.  Seems a bit cheap but the driver is being paid anyway.   

Incidentally, dog food by courier is maybe 1/3 or 1/2 price* of the retail shop even with delivery - and it's being delivered directly from over the border from Slovakia!

*update: I meant 1/3 less....

My "boy" dog had primo dog food and then at times I made it at home for him.
Long story, he suffered with skin issues so I made his natural food at home, PU, making dog food at home is one smelly business!
When I worked as a car hop there was no such thing as using a card card to buy your meal.
Nice thing was a cuppa coffee ewas 40 cents and my "classy" customers usually just gave me a buck and that was it, made 60 cents on each order.It was a great paying  job overall.
It was very sexist, had to be "cute, smiley "and female to get the job.No negative vibes were tolerated.
Why not use what the good Lord gave you is what I say...
These days people everywhere use cards .
Not sure if they are poor and hoping to pay their balance every month or it is easier to just pull out a card. I'm a cash and carry sort.
I sort of freak when a person at a shop in front of me uses a card when they are buying a "energy" drink and a candy bar.WTF don't they know they are killing themselves? In more ways then one.

Dry food or meat?

If dry food, what is your cost for, say, a 10 kg bag? And what is the manufacturer of the food?

This is for dry food.  They don't seem to have 10kg bags but different sizes like, 7 or 12kg.

Mrs Fluffy is the dog food organiser and tells me it's one of the cheapest but there are others. 

Have a look here at Abc-zoo and then here at the similarly named Alphazoo   

Looks like around 3K HUF in a retail shop and about 2K HUF delivered with free delivery over 15K HUF.   Tracing the delivery, it seems to come from Poland but is sold out of Slovakia.

I want bobs and vagene.

That's easy enough to arrange.   It's just a question of money.

BTW, hairdressers provide bobs and as for vagueness, that's easy to find, maybe, sort of, possibly or not....

Bob is also British English slang for a shilling.

It's very relevant posting for the OP because he might have been thinking of Bob-A-Job. 

Dib Dib and Dob.
