    Come on Tribulation.


    I know you keep an eye on this thread,come on! come back and let us know what Morrisons said about the Cakes.

    And dont you think its about time you came back onto this here board.

    He probably isn't going to bother because he knows he'll be greeted by a bunch of Cro-Magnon all banging their chests and screaming blue murder about the 'rights' of the shop-worker to put one finger up to the customer.

    Would you really do that over a packet of cakes,i know where you are coming from about it not being the point its all about customer service,but would you really want to see someone racked over the coals for this.


    I would not be able to sleep at night if i thought someone was sacked over something as trivial as a box of cakes,and does anyone actually know what the cakes were?

    Battenburg.

    apple pies

    french fancies

    apple and blueberry pies


    would anybody like to have a wager on what the cakes were,i will go for apple pies.

    As it was a 'box of 4' cakes and apparently fresh cream I will go for the box you get in most store with an eclair,a swiss bun,a jam and cream filled bun and a custard filled bun...and I will quite literally go for them too as I love them and as soon as the delivery has been to the nearby Co-op today I will be buying some!

    Shame the shop worker didn't put one finger up!At least then she would be complained about for a valid reason rather than being described as rude when she done nothing wrong towards the OP at all as far as any of us know.

    Unless there are some psychics among us that is

    I've worked for Morrisons and we did this for ourselves AND for customers.

    We work all the hours under the sun, we need to shop too and most of the time anything we want is gone. We're customers too you know ;)

    I don't give a damn about the cakes. What propelled me to post is the idea, posted by many on here, that it's a 'perk of the job' for shop workers to swipe reduced items off the shelves during their shifts.

    I'm also being fairly robust in my view because some of the insults thrown at the Op are outrageous and I like championing the underdog in any fight. As soon as I see pack mentality, such as been shown on here, I get the knives out and start poking ;)

    If the OP had said can I have them instead of running to their keyboard teary eyed about the injustice of it all, they might just have got the cakes.


    Poke away.

    No, you are customers when you shop after work. When you are on shift you are an employee and should not be doing your own shopping. It's really not hard to grasp is it.

    Thanks I'll put it to good use ;)

    Honestly who cares over a few cakes. I'm sure there's worse things happening :p

    Maybe the whole of Morrisons is corrupt, I've seen the ADMs and even the GM doing the same thing. The horror :rolleyes:
