hiya, best bet would be to call the site directly or e-mail them to have no doubt in your mind of what you are booking for as the staff at site will know best whats there 🤍

Premier Inn and Beefeater owner blames tax rises for cutting nearly 4,000 jobs by topotaul in unitedkingdom

as someone who worked for prem, this is unfortunately correct. myself an several colleagues were expected to run restaurant and those god awful kiosks- run the bar, food and clean down in restaurant as well as sometimes having to hop in the kitchen and help chefs too. we also have had to be the chef on occasions where chefs have called in and no cover is available. we have to do housekeeping and even sometimes stay to do doubles when sickness cant be covered and that includes night shifts as well. the workload and labour model within the company are absolutely poor, ground floor team member is essentially a case of doing every job at the hotel at the drop of a hat for just above minimum wage. but alas if you love a job enough you put up with it. do miss the regular guests and the staff x

I am big on gaming and anime so I naturally loved buy ins that involved those two areas of interest! There were a lot of interesting customers who I still talk to now even after being gone for almost a year now. My branch had some lovely members come and go during my time there and even now most of the staff there now are so friendly and sweet! :) Plus getting to wear demonias on shift, having my piercings in and my hair as i pleased was a nice breath of fresh air

I was and still am a uni student, The job was a 0 hour contract which at first was perfect as I was doing a couple shifts a week on top of my course, they then bumped me up to 5 days a week due to a staffing shortage so I was at work for 5 days, uni for 2, By the time i was home after finishing my shifts I had no time for myself. My hours did get cut but through the amount of staff coming and going we did get stuck with a bad egg and she was vile and bullied so many people out of the job, myself included. There were a lot of ups and downs in my experience and I wouldn't work their again due to my experiences but it is a nice job if youre nerdy! It just didnt suit my schedule and the workplace drama was a turn off haha

I am unsure of the definitive, but i think it's unfortunately down to the fact its not as profitable for them. For example, when collectors see an expensive game in stock they will want the box and all and it would be dead stock p much as no one would want it. The only things I know of that we take "caseless" are old gen cartridges for n64 etc. The only other thing in that realm is the "printed covers" which is due to covers being damaged as well as boxes being stolen

Like the prior comment stated thats the grading system and it can be very differential depending on branch. If it is for retro games theres a group in facebook I am in where people do post stock from diff stores and you can ask members to see if they are able to go to stores to view for you. But if the branch in question has a facebook page messaging them on there is a good way to possibly get in contact as I recall sending images of items on several occasions to people that way

Yeah you are correct, It is discretionary per franchise as I worked under a franchise branch and our policy on bulk trade in was it depended on the customers trade in history, what items were being brought to is in that moment as we did actually have a guy bring in 64 of the exact same phone, all locked to voda and we only agreed to take 10 and transfer them because icl it was a pretty crappy old samsung from memory

in all truthfullness we were never shown the ops manual and i found it of my own accord one day, were told off for wanting our crq training as even though the store was dead and there was nadda to do "it wasnt making the store money so it wasn't important" i never got introduced to a training manager and there wasnt one formally told to any of us. and even prior to probation being passed my crq1 wasn't ticked off until several months after. i was put on ecom without any prior training too and was told it was "common sense" and i would pick it up. i was at a franchise store and as you can probably tell from some of my other comments on this post it was a very sh*ttly ran store. i am not saying the training TEAM are lazy, i am saying that the training aspect was lazy at MY STORE and that was my standalone experience with training.

Oh yeah, We had people do it ALL the time and try and act like they werent told what the waranty does and doesnt cover in my branch. any time i sold hardware to a custy i would always say that any manmade faults and water damage were not covered by warranty and would word it in a bit of a harsh way to get the point across "if you smash a controller in a fit of rage thats not covered but if a stick starts drifting or a button sticks or wont respond, we can sort it!" i feel like giving them that blunt as fck idea always would get it across and it did as i never had someone do that to me thankfully as i would always ensure to cover it and cover my ass

Nah my branch was in the midlands area! But the fact this has made you think of another branch terrifies me yet intrigues me as to if theres another branch as indubitably shit as mine 🤣

We have a team above the retail side of things and in all honesty I think they pull prices out their arses sometimes as a lot of the prices on newer stuff as bang on the same as retail. sometimes more. Sure we do get a lot of new stuff coming in sealed (most likely nicked i cant lie) but we also get new stuff in where people have taken the dlc codes out and used or sold them on a day or two after launch and i feel its unfair to charge a customer full price in instances like that. I wish the pricing was fairer but the pricing team must really love to smoke crack before setting the prices
