No reason to believe because they're trying to improve the APG, they'll improve staff training.
Correct!
I always thought that staff training at A on the APG was better than T for the T PP though. Some of them were appalling. Again, it's not just a public sector thing - cutting of staff but a private company one too - cutting staff to the bare minimum in order to save costs and make more profits (although reasonably in one sense) - it's like everything, staff then have no time to do training of others, often 'on the job' - does anyone ever get trained, properly, given that we don't invest in it? Blaming government of a particular colour probably:rotfl::mad:. But, yeah, the young man I had that got his APG training last time I tried to use a voucher - he'd never seen them before so got impromptu training from the person on the next checkout (and then she didn't do it very well IMO:rotfl:). If that's all the training he gets - and I suspect it will be - then clearly they won't know anything that we know.
As usual, we know much more than they do:rotfl:! And, often, from our perspective - this is true in other areas of life too - we tend to assume that people have the full knowledge that we have, and we view things from the assumption that they know what we do, when in fact they don't! Equally, from that, someone who seems to us to be trouting us may instead simply lack any knowledge of it and not actually be trying to refuse our voucher, instead simply trying to work out what they should do with it! Even though it's quite simple! (To us:rotfl:.)0 -

As a Labour voter in the general election tomorrow, I support that! (The main quotation to the video.) I wouldn't have any objection to a clean sweep!
I know some in England (or maybe quite many?) are annoyed with Nicola Sturgeon, but, really, I don't see any threat from the SNP. Then again, perhaps I'm missing the emotional element:o:o. I don't see missing that, if indeed I am, is any problem though:).0 -
Exciting though, earlier... Carole Walkers on coaches...:D:D:rotfl:

There was already a vote on this just in case you missed it ......
and the majority result of that was to keep the union
Please stop trying to clog up this thread with your totally biased pro SNP view.:):)

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: there's no training required in Ts. If it scans.....take it. Well that's my experience anyway. On the occasions that it doesn't scan, I've had no problem getting CS to sort it and they are much more willing than As with manufacturer coupons in my experience.
As T have an automated system, there's not much requirement for shop staff to actually understand the system now. They can't change it or over ride it.
If I worked for As instead of being a glitcher, I'd go down the instant matching route. But as usual Asda are using a different sort of plaster on the wound that plasters have never worked on
I'd personally dearly lobe to know why they feel a need for change? And it's a question I've not even seen asked on here? I found that strange.......0 -
