To wonder about DN's criminal activity?

[youneedabiscuit]

My niece seems to be selling a LOT of Ted Baker items on Facebook selling pages, all new with tags. She's a shop manager so not sure how she's coming about these items.

I asked her mum and she has no idea, and says her DD just keeps saying "it's not important, the money is".

What do you think is going on?

Anyway, if she's only 18, working in retail and living alone, she's going to need all the supplemental income she can get.

Still doesn't mean it's criminal activity though.

How on earth does an 18 year old have management skills. She must be ridiculously over confident.
You've not had enough life experience at 18 for management.

Which retail outlet does she work for?

Pizza Hut.

Port Greggs

She might not be selling them at massive discount. There are different types of facebook selling pages. I'm on one which quite often has new clothes still with tags selling for over £100. Others have a discount of about 10-20%. Not all facebook pages are dresses for £5.

But I'm that when questioned she said, 'It's not important; the money is'. That all sounds a bit sub-par detective novel really.

Not very well paid

op you know Ted Baker isn't an actual Baker right??

just being nosey

id mind my own business. If shes doing something wrong, then its not for her family to dob her in. She'll get caught out sooner or later. If not, then still, none of your business.

It sounds as though she's mixing with people who can get knock off clothing, OP. Maybe you should just send her a message asking how she's getting them so cheaply?

If you're not close enough to ask her what she's up to I doubt you've any idea what appropriate skills she brings to the table.
And why is her mother too timid to ask her?

Is she Attilla the Hun?

I'd love a pizza...

justbeingnosey I just had to explain to DS why I was laughing.

I'd settle for a designer sausage roll to be fair maybe some frantic googling is required

Uh oh. thought it was just me thinking
Frantic Googling? ..must be those pizza deliveries under the door again?

Really don't like the mentality of some on here who seem to think 18 year olds cant have management skills. Partner started off being a shop manager at 18 and was the best manager they had on their area (I used to work with him - I was also a "supervisor" at 17). And he is now a successful multiple site HR manager in food retail!

sugar I think it's fairly common to have young managers in retail. After all many people have their first Saturday job in retail (at age 14 for example) and work full-time during the summer. They can actually have quite a lot of experience by the time they're 18.

Am I the only person who wants to see the Ted Baker items? shallow that's me Or even some photos from the Greggs? hungry as well as shallow

Maybe she's buying them reduced from a TB outlet and selling them at full price?

My sister was a floor manager at McDonald's when she was 18.

Who's Mary?

Mary is a fictional example of an older member of staff .

Perhaps Mary doesn't want to be a low paid manager?

She might be wise enough to have realised in her 30 years of working for Greggs, that she can make more money selling dodgy Ted Baker items on Facebook.

Yaaay for Mary

OK so I'm officially confused, when you said she was a shop manager and was selling goods online I assumed she was robbing them from the store.

But she works at Greggs? Why isn't she selling week old Steak Slices? I assume she's getting them somewhere, possibly eBay and selling on at a higher price in which case it's quite enterprising of her. Why assume the worst?

Love Worra's comment and echo it all. This is just for you to have a thread filled with idle speculation about your niece.
