Morrisons staff putting things aside.

Was in Morrisons a few weeks ago after reading about cheap console games on the net.

Was in the gaming isle when I overheard one member of staff asking another member that if he gets any of the discounted xyz games in, would he put them aside for him, he agreed.

Was in Morrisons yesterday, was about to buy a box of 4 fresh cream cakes when one of the bakers staff came up and started reducing the items. She reduced the scones, then reduced the box of cakes I wanted to 75p, looked at me, then didn't even put the box back on the shelf, took it out the back with her.

I always thought the customer came first.

I can't believe your moaning about this, its called perks of the job and tbh I don't blame them at all. As long as they are pricing correctly and not knocking anything more of it than they normally would then fair play to them

Good luck to them, their most probably on minimum wage, I would just call it a perk of the job.

Go get yourself a job in Morrisons, you'll then be able to have the same perks :rolleyes:

Fine when the shop shuts, any that are unsold buy.

They can't buy anything once the shop shuts, because it's shut

Definitely a perk of the job, my mate works there and some of the stuff they have to put up with.....and this isn't grumpy customers either, it's staff politics, ridiculous amounts of unpaid overtime and a lot of BS......I'd say it's a perk well earned.


edit- and before anyone suggests she finds another job if she doesn't like it, she has a house and bills to pay and you gotta do what you gotta do. Doesn't stop some them taking the pi$$ with her though....

Isn't the employee also a customer if they wish to buy something?

Yes staff are customers too. I can not see a problem with this at all

This is one of the few perks to working in a supermarket. I would always put reduced stuff away and ask other members of staff if they wanted anything that was getting reduced.

Perhaps she took the cakes because she knew you were just hovering to see what she would reduce them too, infact that's a very likley scenario. Shop staff hate people who hover like vultures when they see them with the reduction gun.

Well if you really did tell the employee that you were going to buy the cakes before she picked them up (but why would you) then I guess you could call it rude.

The problem is, I made it known that I was about to buy the box of cakes, the women knew I was about to buy the cakes, I told my wife while standing next to her that I was going to but the cakes, she knew I was simply waiting to see what it was reduced too, and she then took it for herself.

If people cant see a problem with that, then the mind boggles.

I suppose if something is cheap for the first 10 customers in a sale, that is also all right if 10 members of staff take it for them selves, after all they can still be customers?

I'll wait and see whether their head office agrees with me or you.

Maybe the member of staff thought you looked like you didnt need to eat anymore cake after the xmas :rotfl: :rotfl:
