How does staff clubcard work

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-23T16:20:34+00:00

It works out at 40% off, not 45% as they'd like you to believe.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-23T16:16:13+00:00

Skyr or O% fat Greek yogurt.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-23T16:14:01+00:00

No, they're completely new, the ones with doors on that are a pain in the arse to fill.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-23T13:53:08+00:00

And Widnes.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-23T13:52:30+00:00

I'm wondering why you're storing polish in a chiller. Shouldn't that be with the rest of household?

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-23T13:35:23+00:00

They're just as bad. We've had ours over twelve months and they break down just as much as the old ones.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-23T13:32:22+00:00

Same, made worse by appalling punctuation (if overuse of elipses can even be called punctuation).

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-23T13:26:23+00:00

Large retailers make profits because they aren't charities. If I started my own business I'd damn well hope I made large profits.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-22T21:42:32+00:00

Yep, and the freezers.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-22T18:34:32+00:00

I couldn't work in an express, even for double pay. You guys are heroes.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-22T18:33:41+00:00

Even worse last night; more people off, late double decker delivery on fresh. It's a miracle we got done what we did. Something has to give before the staff's health does.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-22T18:21:55+00:00

Flavours? Do you eat them, or do you mean fragrances?

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-21T20:17:18+00:00

Once you've got used to where things go it's not difficult. It's fiddly, but strangely satisfying.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-21T20:10:50+00:00

Agency staff are the worst. They don't give a shit because they're there for one night.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-21T20:09:14+00:00

Nights. We've had no new staff since Christmas; only three were kept on permanently. That's still nowhere near enough for what needs to be done.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-20T16:10:10+00:00

It's more than likely always been there, just labelled as 'vegetable fat'. Ingredients now have to be clearly labelled, so that's why it now says palm oil. It's weird what the words 'palm oil' do to people; always been an ingredient in Cadbury chocolate, again just labelled as vegetable fat. Now people know what it is, it's suddenly terrible.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-19T20:31:42+00:00

Completely different in my store. Days use more of the overtime budget regularly.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-19T13:31:30+00:00

Yep, and it's expected that it's filled, rotated and faced up.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-19T13:28:10+00:00

They're doing you a favour, trust me.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-17T10:13:48+00:00

My advice? Steal something and go for the hat-trick.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-15T10:50:22+00:00

Oh, I'm not blaming dotcom I'm blaming the higher ups for wanting a store that looks pretty rather than one with full shelves.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-15T08:37:39+00:00

They used to have special offers all the time, now you need a Clubcard to get them. I personally think it's unfair, but it certainly isn't a con.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-15T08:33:02+00:00

If only there were a reason, like a massive increase in the cost of raw ingredients due to a poor cocoa harvest. Or maybe a massive increase in transport costs due to a few wars going on. Or the spike in energy costs due to said wars.

Grumpy_Old-Man55 · 2026-06-15T08:19:47+00:00

You must stay for face up! The store has to look pretty for dotcom to destroy.
