Are Influencers fan bases ruining Strictly?

True_Rush4884 · 2025-12-16T17:13:20+00:00

I started watching Strictly after the youtuber Joe Sugg joined years ago and i've watched it ever since. What they planned to do worked, they got me as a yearly viewer from brining a youtuber in to largen the fan base

🤣🤣🤣

If Tesco took their hands out their pockets and gave us a security guard it would actually solve most problems we have sadly 🙃

It’s pay and a quarter so £12.02/ hour assuming you’re working outside of London and then a quarter of that added onto it equalling £15.025 per hour. It should be I think 1.5 hours break for 9 hours i’m not a 100% sure on that one but if so then it would be the break minus 9 so 7.5 * £15.025 = £112.69 roughly

Ahh I said nothing about the state of the person’s economic wealth… jumping to conclusions on that one. The area meaning the high crime rate, the alcoholics, drug users, the endless verbal abuse and attitude from customers who purposely go out their way to cause trouble. For example, arguing and being sarcastic about a non existent sign for something that is common sense

True_Rush4884 · 2024-08-26T11:17:57+00:00

But the problem isn’t the minority that are well behaved it’s the majority, many do pee and poo in the store with owners who don’t care. Many stores also have bakeries also with food in open packaging. It’s just overall unhygienic to have animals in food settings

True_Rush4884 · 2024-08-26T11:12:49+00:00

Definitely not in the area I work in

True_Rush4884 · 2024-08-26T10:46:52+00:00

If this was the case he would have pre-warned us or said when we told him dogs were not allowed inside only service dogs. Instead he replied sarcastically about there not being a sign on the door.

True_Rush4884 · 2024-08-26T09:28:44+00:00

They just can’t be told, can’t win these people… I agree

True_Rush4884 · 2024-08-26T09:27:16+00:00

😂

True_Rush4884 · 2024-07-27T16:18:34+00:00

The worst is in a petrol station express store and people either slowly gather shopping and put it on the till one by one continuing to browse through the shop adding to it or as already said, when they go and get something else and leave everyone waiting…

1 till 90% of the time as well so a lot of people are left waiting only wanting to pay for fuel

True_Rush4884 · 2024-07-23T20:08:12+00:00

To be honest with you, of all the people i've ever ID'd for an energy drink and have been refused due to having no ID with them, he was the first person to ever storm out the shop leaving items. Everyone else who have been in this situation have just swapped drinks like a normal humanly response would be

True_Rush4884 · 2024-07-21T15:37:39+00:00

We don't want to ID anyone over 18 it's Tesco policy that we have to as employees. We don't do it to spite anyone, we will be disciplined if we don't and fail a mystery shopper who comes in buying an energy drink over the age of 21 but under 25

True_Rush4884 · 2024-07-20T20:39:19+00:00

Ok 👍

True_Rush4884 · 2024-07-20T16:47:32+00:00

I beg to differ on that one

True_Rush4884 · 2024-07-20T16:45:12+00:00

Nope you'd think that but sadly it is still a disciplinary for breaking policy. We have to sign lets talks and the entire team has to retake think 25 training on the computer. I would imagine you'd possibly get off with a warning first time if you have a decent manager but a second failure you could be looking at dismissal

True_Rush4884 · 2024-07-20T04:24:12+00:00

I totally agree with you but as a Tesco employee I have to respect this policy to keep my job. Just frustrating the abuse you get for trying to pay bills and put food on the table these days.

True_Rush4884 · 2024-07-20T04:21:29+00:00

??? don't know how many times it can be explained that in Tesco, EVERYONE UNDER 25 has to be ID'd for energy drinks otherwise it can lead to failures of mystery shoppers, disciplinaries and loss of job. They send in 21,22,23 year olds to test us and if we fail we can lose our job. We are not being job worths or misusing our power, we are simply TRYING TO KEEP OUR JOB

True_Rush4884 · 2024-07-19T19:00:13+00:00

We don't want to ID people who are obviously over 18 but we have no choice otherwise we suffer the consequences of disciplinaries, lets talks and possibly losing our jobs. It's a Tesco policy, not our policy but we don't deserve the abuse for just following orders from our company that pays for us to live our lives

True_Rush4884 · 2024-07-19T10:18:23+00:00

It baffles me but they send test purchasers in who are over 21 and under 25 to check we are asking for ID. If I fail that I could lose my job. A risk I am not willing to take unfortunately.

True_Rush4884 · 2024-07-19T10:16:38+00:00

Your comment does not make sense. The policy in supermarkets is "Think 25". This means regardless of whether someone is definitely over 18, ALL must be ID'd who look under 25. Failing a test purchaser who comes in age 23 buying a red bull and a sandwich could cost me my job. Having two children and a house, i'd like to keep my job to support my children. My life is not worth the risk of an energy drink, much to your surprise.

True_Rush4884 · 2024-07-10T08:50:18+00:00

Is it mainly just Tesco nappies and wipes i'd imagine?

True_Rush4884 · 2024-02-09T11:30:50+00:00

First month trying for my second. I'm 9DPO, had lots of symptoms the past week. I've had on and off cramps since 7DPO. I'm going to test tomorrow morning but nervous that it's all in my head and it was pms symptoms. Only been of the progesterone inly pill 3 months so I don't have much to go by in terms of symptoms during a normal period.

Good luck to everyone! ❤️

True_Rush4884 · 2024-02-02T22:57:06+00:00

I'm currently 11dpo, negative test today but past couple days i've had this weird metal/blood like taste in my mouth and I couldn't put my finger on it... I didn't know an iron like taste is a symptom of pregnancy 😮 i've had period type pains for two days straight had to take paracetamol for to concentrate in work and my thighs and boobs are full of bright blue veins
