I had the misfortune to work for abovementioned store...!! :0(

How difficult could it be to stack shelves with bread...? They are so full of B/shit..

And extremely rude.. The store manager at the time didn't even have the manners to greet/acknowledge you..

My co-worker & i where told by admin, that we had to change our work hrs, going from early morning to late afternoon/evenings & that if we didn't comply..then bye bye..!!

(At this time i was hubbies carer also as he was sick)

Thankfully co/w & i found other jobs, & had great delight in handing in our notice!! Even greater delight when admin then pleaded with us to stay.. To which we both cried NO😂..

So I've been trying to boycott them for a while now.. except it's a bit difficult when it's been the only store around, untill a lidl was built last yr..

Glad to hear Dot was ok after this mishap..& not badly hurt.. :0)

Our Tesco is brilliant, and we always go early morning Saturday. We like the granary bread and the assistant nearly always has to get it from the store for us, this week we did not have to ask because she brought it up to our trolley. The staff seem to get on with each other (our next door neighbour is a manager there) and are extremely friendly. Dot has a couple of checkout girls she likes to have a chinwag with. We have a Sainsbury that we also use occasionally, it has a good range of clothing and other hardware, but the clientèle seem to be posher. My favourite is Morrisons, which is 5 miles in the other direction from us, it is much smaller but the customers all seem to be very eccentric and love to talk and joke with each other. They also stock a superb variety of Ouzo

The only thing I have to add at the moment is a quote:

I'm glad you told me. I saw this animation on Twitter and didn't understand the controversy behind it. Most USA citizens don't know what a "jab" is since we call it a "shot".

@Craig Long A couple of hours after we got home, the manager turned up with our shopping and a bunch of flowers.

@Dave Sutton Oh? The incident just recently happened. Nice gesture from the manager.

@Craig Long It happened years ago, and I posted about it on G+. The manager probably got a report about me banging the counter with my fist and shouting that I would sue them. This was on the same day I had followed the ambulance into hospital and spent all morning with Dot as she had countless X rays. She had smacked the back of her head really hard on the floor.
