RichM Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Not good is it. It's a weird time at the moment. One can only really accept that things have to get worse before they get better, but for the unemployed it is grim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahBell Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 They've got vouchers on packets of crisps for money off - so I assume they're doing anything to scrape in some cash... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdabuilder Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 They've got vouchers on packets of crisps for money off - so I assume they're doing anything to scrape in some cash... I asked one of these sports chain shop managers why they seemed to have so many staff per branch. Apparently it's because without them the stock would walk out the door without a penny entering the till! But if nobody is shopping at al, the first thing to go will be staff.

I reckon it's not what you were asking for, but how you were asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 So they save cash on wages with less staff but margins go down because of chavs lifting stock! Even an idiot can see where this is heading in 12 months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushroom Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 T'is no worry, the staff from this chain will be retrained to become part of our booming "Knowledge Economy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mushroom Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Our what? That's what TB et al keep wittering on about. Ah but perhaps they mean we need lots of London Black Cab drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
