    If he says it to your husband in public, I'd get all the details of the latest one (time, date, what was said), I'd be writing to tesco as a furious bystanding customer (fake name, friends address) and telling them that you found their staffs bullying tactics to another staff member very upsetting and that you don't want to shop their again because of it. Give a full description of the bully and hope he gets disciplined or sacked. There are far to many good, decent people needing jobs that your husband could be working with. Sneaky and deceptive, I know, but if your husband doesn't feel he can say anything himself then I'd be looking at other options outside of the box. Good luck, I'm currently being bullied at work (sadly not in public), and stuck in a very similar predicament except my boss is the one bullying me, its truely awful.

    The problem with this is when they check CCTV there may not be any customers around & nothing may come of it. Go to the Manager.

    omg how old is this bully name calling like fatty and specky how childish
    he needs to have a word with his manager to say whats been said and say that he will allow a reasonable amount of time for the manager to deal with this before he goes to hr to raise a complaint about this man
    write down when and where he says this hr have to act , also he needs to speak to hr if he is not getting his contracted hours (why )
    well done for supporting your oh and tell him to see his union rep who will help him with this

    Your husband should hand him 50p and tell him to use the phone to tell someone who gives a !!!!!!.

    Or ask him if he has a small todger and that's why he has to make himself look 'big' in front of others.

    Report the git aswell though, behaviour like that is out of order in the workplace ~ he's an adult who should know better.

    Don't you know that neat little saying ...? The bigger the gob, the smaller the intelligence!

    In your hubby's shoes, I'd be responding with this each and every time the colleague takes a poke until the message sinks in that he is making only one person look stupid and/or inadequate ...

    It's bullying plain and simple and the company has a duty to make it stop, your husband needs to work his way upwards through his line managers until someone takes it seriously which the HR department certainly will if they think they might end up at an employment tribunal.
    Make £25 a day in April £0/£750 (March £584, February £602, January £883.66)

    December £361.54, November £322.28, October £288.52, September £374.30, August £223.95, July £71.45, June £251.22, May£119.33, April £236.24, March £106.74, Feb £40.99, Jan £98.54) Total for 2017 - £2,495.10

    I agree with this.
