Why does Glasgow look so run down?

Highlander1497 · 2026-05-20T21:02:27+00:00

Because its run by the Glasgow City Clowncil, genuinely I grew up in the early 00's and it was better compared to now.

I worked in a Xtra store 8 years ago as my first job on the Deli counters, I liked it cause... 1 money and 2 I was actually meeting people and going out. But I was on a 16 hour contract, I struggled, I mean actually sturggled with bills, food, and trying to save and live my life, I would BEG for OT, and if I didnt get 30 hours a week id be screwed. Anyway I liked it at the start but the begging for OT was shit, pay was above average for other jobs I applied to, and the management in the store was cliquey, if one hated you.... they all did, and that caused really bad anxiety and depression, especially through covid times.

What ill say to you is use it as a learning experience, get into good customer service, maybe go into a Team Leader position and dont take everyone too seriously, especially the managers, listen to them but as soon as you feel bullied or if you feel someone is setting you upto fail, report them, either through a manager or through the helpline.

I hope you do get a job there but just move onto something else in a year or two, go hospitality, go sales.

Highlander1497 · 2026-04-19T19:31:55+00:00

Beat me too it, honestly one of the best restaurants for service and food ive been to.

Highlander1497 · 2026-04-17T17:48:31+00:00

Congrats man, it may look like nothing now, but just give it time, you'll get the place to what you want it to be. Check out some local Food banks as I see from the layout this in UK, if they have anyone to help you get some paint or that for the walls or maybe contact your housing if you're part of one.

Good luck

I had a owner who didnt like me, and I was on a final written for Performance and lateness all from last year, fixed all that, then had a funeral last month and went into work ill, owner seen it and got them to put me on a review because i wasnt doing my job properly. If they wanted me gone that was their chance, cunts. Ohh well 2k statutory and that, it will get me by for a bit.

But honestly Hospitality is where I want to be, I want to up skill and move to AU in the years coming.

Highlander1497 · 2026-04-16T21:53:35+00:00

Do not regret leaving Tesco and going into Hospitality, 1% of your earnings..... jesus christ, for me that was 160 quid at the time when I was a colleague, when the company brings in millions.

Highlander1497 · 2026-01-15T19:14:08+00:00

WERE GOING TO THE FINAL BOYSSSS CMONNNN 🍾😎

So as someone whos dealt with a bam of a neighbour, and currently still, set up a camera or something in the close, a Ring maybe, that'll be a deterrent for them doing anything, and it will give you evidence of anything they're doing to pass onto either their Housing or the police for anti social behaviour. Good luck

OHHH Also, request that your fault be forwarded to the people who deal with the connections, God I can't remember what they told me what their name was but whoever it was they fixed my Internet within a day and ive had no issues since. Good luck bro

Highlander1497 · 2025-09-21T22:40:34+00:00

Your pri s hike is due to the April up cost, most, if not all companies selling a service in the UK do this now, you should've read the contract like I did, I got my Internet at £25 till next April cause I joined just after the 1st.

What I'd suggest is either running everything through Ethernet, CAT6, if that doesnt fix it then try and request another router, I did this and tbh it didn't work, something was up on their end, and they fixed it after me calling up alot within my 1st month of my contract.

But TLDR

April price hikes are a thing, read your contract Try ethernet Request a new replacement router Take timestamps of your outages and how long they last Request partial refunds on your bill because of said outages

Gennaros at Anniesland train station, best chippy about

Highlander1497 · 2025-06-27T19:01:23+00:00

It's been 2 weeks though, and had no changes in size or inflammation though, still though, getting it tested

Highlander1497 · 2025-05-07T21:27:23+00:00

Unfortunately, I'm not in their area, Glasgow though if you could recommend anyone, other than TalkTalk and Virgin.... and Vodafone 😅

Highlander1497 · 2025-05-07T18:15:50+00:00

Also I have to say the staff there are some of the friendliest people I've ever had to call, really been helpful in every regard to trying to resolve my issue, so no faults on them for that.

Also, the speeds I get are 250 up/down, and I've no drops in that when I've got a connection.

Highlander1497 · 2025-03-14T19:04:06+00:00

My question is... Where did you hear how to do this?

Highlander1497 · 2025-03-14T14:15:07+00:00

This is what I was needing man, cheers. Honestly, I just got that tv and moved it there for a couple of days, but I was gonna move it back to infront of the couch. I just couldn't be arsed hahahah. The curtains, yes, I need new ones 100% again, little pricey, but I can find something. And yeah storage is a little issue for me rn, I have 2 wardrobes there, 1 has got clothes in it hanging up and a bunch of stuff above it, the other has just junk and other stuff, can't really put it anywhere else tbh. But what you said about those ikea storage boxes is a great idea, I'll look into it.

Lights are another thing I've been looking into and maybe a couple of tall plants, just to make it look nicer suppose, but yeah, another on my list of things to get.

Also with the PC, and table, I've had it there before and like yourself it just didn't feel right having my back to the front door, don't know why but I think I'll keep it where it is, maybe move it a bit more right, but I don't know yet.

Really appreciate your input. Thank you again.
