opinions please.
We have a new Waitrose in our town opened a few weeks ago. been quite good for reductions the last week or so. Popped in tonight 30 mins before closing. Normally there are 1 or 2 trolleys with the final reductions at that time by the till. However there was only 1 trolley with 3 chicken pies ( reduced from £1.99 to 49P each) and some olives. I picked up the pies ( to freeze) and wandered around. There was someone reducing f&v with most going back on the shelves as it was tommorows date and then a young man appeared with a trolley with reduced flowers and stain remover products and a couple of Sanex bath products. The veg lady threw in a couple of greatly reduced veg items. I asked if he was going to reduce the flowers more ( I was looking for some to do some small arrangements for sis Silver Wedding party tommorow) and he said if i waited about 10 mins he would reduce them more. i wandered off and came back around and he reduced some rose bouquets to 49p each so i had both. there was another bunch I wanted but he said no not yet. So I picked up the 2 Sanex out of the trolley and some mange tout. It was nearly 9.00 by now so i said are you not going to reduce the flowers more and he said no this will be divided amongst the partners now.
When i enquired what that meant he said the staff and pushed the trolley out the back.
What do you think?
I think it's perfectly reasonable for the staff to be allowed to have some if they wanted. The customers had their chance so why shouldn't the staff get a chance?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Health & Beauty, Greenfingered Moneysaving and How Much Have You Saved boards.

But the trolley was not put out for customers. He was pushing it towards the back for the staff. it was only because i saw the flowers i realised it was a reductions trolley.0 -

My waities sometimes keeps stuff back for staff (you can see them rummaging through the stock room doors :rotfl:).
Most times they put it out for customers and quite often multibuys kick in and you make a profit/get stuff for pennies so I don't begrudge them the occasional night that they keep stuff back for themselves
If they did it all the time I'd think about saying something, but I don't want to bite the hand that feeds me. All the staff that do markdowns near me know and like me (hard to believe?) because I talk to them and thank them rather than ignore/demand/shoveApparently, everybody knows that the bird is [strike]the word[/strike] a moorhen0
