[Dodie66]

Lots of the supermarkets are closing on the 19th. Read this article for the full list www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62879563

Good because l work in a supermarket and cannot stand the fake pity off the customers that I' m working and they' re not.

Glad to hear it.

Glad to hear it.

Good old John Lewis.

I thought they might, checked the date of my delivery and yes it was the 19th. Glad it occurred to me so I managed to change it.

It's good that retail are starting to put their staff above profits for certain days. I like that lots of them now close Boxing Day too.

I'm happy for the supermarket workers.

Fair enough. Schools are off and expecting people to find childcare with just over a week's notice isn't really reasonable. Especially if everyone else is looking for childcare too.

I changed my delivery slot yesterday because I thought they might close

Thank you for putting this on here

Glad to help 🙂🙂

I think that's only right. But the food shops will be really busy on Saturday and Sunday.

What about the ones who want to work to avoid this enforced mourning then

oh ffs. and yes I usually work BHs even though my office is officially closed.

I think it’s fair towards the workers.

The ones who want to work could do some voluntary work instead.

Good.
I wonder if there will be another BH for the coronation 🤔

I doubt they would get all the checks done in time .
It's all becoming like North Korea this .
Not everyone gives a toss about it at all

Do something else? Surely work isn't the only thing that can keep you busy?

Will the supermarket staff all get holiday pay for missed shifts on 19th?
Another 1-2% off GDP, I guess.

It's not just John Lewis.

Do you only work or watch TV, how weird, don't you have any other interests

It John Lewis, Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl, Homebase, WH Smith, B&Q, Primark, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Argos, Ikea and Blue Diamond Garden Centres

It's what she would have wanted after all.

yay, that's commemorate the life of the woman who refused to stop working by people having a day off work. That makes sense. Sure. <shrug>

not an issue (if staff are being paid).
