Sainsburys Staff feeding frenzy

Lol.. Made me laugh.

Most customers are incredibly rude to staff at supermarkets, and think they're superior. So annoying the crap out of a customer is quite often a perk - there's nothing quite like winding up a customer when so many wind you up!

I'd be very annoyed if a customer got first pick of something reduced before the staff if it happened at my work.

Unfortunately this individual shows what is wrong with the retail trade, the Me Me Me I'm alright and stuff you jack attitude of this person who clearly is uneducated in the ways of customer service, and cannot look further then their own agenda. This individual clearly is in the wrong job and more then likely too idle to move on.

Unfortunately there are many like this this one who really havent a clue, are untrained, unmotivated, and only want to go into work to come out at the other end with what they can get out of it, and really what they should be considering is doing us all a favour and jacking the job in and leaving it to people who want to work for a living :rolleyes:

To work in a place where this characters aim is to p#ss off as many customers as possible, is sad really but a reflection of the chav culture, little Britain eat your heart out, Nelly you dont work behind the fish counter at a Sainsburys in Derbyshire do you, or are you the training officer :eek:

i think that you belive that reduced product are you right as a customer to have .

They are not .

i do think that staff work hard for very little pay and most do not get discount as you have to work for a period of at least a year to get discount.

I do agree that perhaps you were hard done by.

i think maybe you should complain to the shop manager if you feel the staff were not working etc
But as for the sale of goods if they suddenly decided to take them all away you wouldnt have got them anyway .

Oh dear I believe the shop workers union rep has suddenly appeared.

What has the pay and conditions of shop workers got to do in any way with the customer and products offered for sale ? Do people work purely for "perks" and where is it written down that "perks" shall apply. Is working contrary to your employees policies acceptable as long as it will benefit yourself.

The shop had the fish on display to sell, this wasnt the issue, if the company didnt want to sell it they wouldnt have offered it for sale so what on earth are you rambling on about.

The issue is the poor or non existent service which occurred because the staff were flocking around the fish counter like seagulls and ignoring customers in a queue? the queue was there prior to any reduction in price, people were shopping ? not a big event, although it was for me as I rarely shop but wanted some fish.

I was just shopping when they started to reduce prices, first all the prawns and crab reduced, i.e a sign was stuck in it, however, within a minute it was all taken and bagged for the woman on the chicken counter next door, then the white fish was reduced and two blokes from the bakery appeared and most of that went, and it went on etc, etc, During this time no customer was served, although at least six people were waiting and watching this spectacle.

I am sure Sainsburys would not condone their staff actions nor would any of the multiples, and where does the right to "perks" come from, why do people expect "perks" and why should they be allowed to take advantage of their postiions in order to over ride others? If people dont like their wages and conditions....move on.

The ridiculous sale of goods act barrack room lawyer act really doesnt apply and wasnt the issue, the problem was not the stores policy, it was individuals greed and negligence in not doing what they were paid to do...i.e. work ? do their job, and not shop and get paid to do it in works time, anything else you find difficult to understand.

I did not complain to the store as what is the point, will all the fish reappear ? I cant do the miracle the bloke on telly did with fishes and loaves and didnt want the poor people flogged at dawn or deported in the sailing ships. The issue of perks though is one which has no standing.
