    my great aunt is losing her job too, shes been at woolworths most of my life, i understand the staffs frustrations but come on now, i start a thread enquiring about sales and get lectured?!:confused:
    kt33uk was merely making the point about staff losing their jobs and for people not to post comments making them seem like vultures "ooh look Woolworths is closing lets see if there's a sale'. I agree there was nothing wrong with your original post but I don;t think kt33uk was saying there was, it was just your retort "really???:rolleyes: well theres not much i can do about that isn't it???" that I think got people's goat.

    I agree with what you say. Some peole have got my post wrong, it was aimed at one poster.My point was aimed at the poster of post four for giving a couldnt give a damn about the staff type response.
    Of course, get your bargains, but respect the situation and not post remarks like those mentioned.
    I know most of you wouldnt show disrespect but that post annoyed me. I was not looking to divide people, just ask to show respect to the staff that may post on here.

    i dont give a damn about the staff? hmm i wonder where i stated that in the thread.

    hmmm i understand, but i feel a lot of people on this forum like "drama" and to mix up peoples words/intentions.

    Very sympathetic. NOT!
    Just remember when the vultures are circling for bargains, the staff face a very uncertain future and one day they may be circling you for bargains too.

    circling me for bargains?can you explain that?
  • circling me for bargains?can you explain that?
    Yeah i never understood that either, quite funny how an argument has formed from a statement that made little sense lol.

    I think he means if you ever face redundancy, if you work in a shop then your store may have a sale so they will be circling the store (not you!) for bargains;)
