Is that the big one? What role did you apply for?

But surely you should dress down the aisle once you've done with it? Dressing down makes my night a whole lot worse The medicines in the health and beauty are the worst.

Quick story:

Last Sunday at 3am someone left the staff entrance open by moving the bold across to prevent the maglock catching, two people came into the store with their balaclavas on, went to the Health and beauty cage, broke the lock and then tried to saw through the lock of the cage inside the health and beauty cage, failed, so cut through the mesh of the door

Is this the last payday before xmas or do we get one slightly earlier next because of the bank hols etc?

Thanks!

How big's your store? And where's the staff entrance? I can't imagine that ever being possible at my store because there's no way to get in unnoticed.

I was told next payday is 31st December.

Our stores carpark is underneath the store. The carpark is on ground level. You have to go to the first floor toget into the shop - which is why we have a staff entrance.

Our store is the largest in the region - we are ex-savacentre

I can't describe what they had to do, so i made a diagram.



They had to go past a "High traffic area". Its the only way upstairs... I find it highly suspicious that NOBODY saw anything.

Yeah, I think so and I'd be a customer service assistant working at the till.

Do you work there or what?

We had a lot of tv's going walkies a year ago, they thought customers were stealing them, although couldn't figure out how. We have a security guard that checks receipts for anyone that goes out with big electrical items. turned out one of the dept managers was taking them & selling them.

You are kidding me?

Nope. The bloke always gave me the creeps a bit to be honest. Didn't surprise me. Although I was sure he was a produce dept manager. I remember the day the police van was outside when I went to work, thought they were just in there shopping! His mrs worked there too, in a different dept, everyone was talking about it, she caught us & just chuckled, I thought she was embarrassed. Felt a bit guilty. Then it turned out she was in on it too
Dont know what happened to them, apart from the sack. I kept an eye on the local papers, but never saw anything!

Do xmas temps get paid monthly or weekly? I start next week.

Reminds me of a time when a manager in another store quite a few years back was stealing pods full of money.

Someone decided to put the shoot pipe over the staff toilet. The manager cut the pipe so he could get access to it and took the pods before they reached the cash office. imo it was very clever.

In my store if people are caught stealing from the tills or whatever, when the police come to arrest them, they make a point of making them walk down the checkout line show everyone he had been caught stealing.
