Aye mate, had a big barny with one of the night managers and decided to walk. Loving it though to be fair, pop in and say hi!

I walked past the firework desk in my local asda the other day and the person behind it looked like he'd rather be setting the fireworks off directly into his eyes than selling them. Why so bad?

There’s Claude (angry, middle-aged) pointing and shouting at Ty (merchandise fetish), there are the smirking faces behind them giving knowing looks to the camera, and here we all are laughing away at this humanity car-crash – and we aren’t just slowing down to see the accident, we’re getting out of the car, setting up deckchairs and gathering around the wreckage

So, so true.

Cos you get ques going the length of the shop and you don't even have a till behind there, plus the desks they have don't hold nowhere near enough stock so you sell out within minutes. Ah well bonfire nights shit anyway

[The Quito Diet]

Is it same as our place where you can only buy them if you leave the store immediately after?

[Stu]

my store got broken into at 3.30am 2 nights ago and no one even knew until the morning loool

stole everything from behind the entertainment counter, which for some reason is 5 ft from the front door. when I was in last night they said it was up to 24k worth of stuff they'd sorted out so far, they even took the 2 tills off the counter. broke in through the window in the atrium then forced the sliding doors open before chucking everything in a van and going. police released a cctv image on fb earlier, asking for any help finding them...



anyone good at seeing faces through a helmet!?

Aye and you get monga saying why can't do my shopping after I've bought explosives.

Stu how the fuck does that work when you have a night shift.

[Stu]

No one works anywhere near front door. Entertainment counter is 10 ft inside the door with 30k of stock in. Serves them right!

[The Quito Diet]

And didn't even hear anything? Lul blatantly in on it you lot.

Apparently for Black Friday we're closing at 10pm to set up and then re-opening at midnight. What could possibly go wrong?

[Stu]

Haha no one heard a thing, they broke in through a window thats behind anothet of windows and closed doors so can only think that took most of the noise. 90% of people have headphones in as well

I work in sainsburys but yeah same here. Right down to having to sort people's fireworks out then find a till for them to go through because we're meant to use the customer service desk till but there's always a fuck of queue there as well. I've been on fireworks all week and it's just awful, constantly filling the units back up and then selling out immediately. Cannot wait for it to be over.

Buying fireworks from a supermarket is a good sign that a person is in fact a peasant
