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?

Sounds to me like she's shoplifting or selling things on for someone who is

APlaceOnTheCouch · 09/07/2016 14:34

EverySongbird personally I think you're right and OP's niece is missing a trick. She should be selling steak bakes on ebay - basically providing a delivery service for Greggs. That would be a great idea Grin

A salary of £22,000 at 18 and she can't manage on that without selling clothes on the side Shock

notapizzaeater · 09/07/2016 14:40

Does she have to wear ted baker stuff at work ? Some staff are given an allowance to buy clothes which they then have to wear at work. ,perhaps she's selling that

What is being a shop manager at Greggs got anything to do with it, its nothing to do with Facebook selling or Ted Baker.

notapizzaeater your Greggs must be posher than the ones by me no ted baker there 😉

MiracletoCome · 09/07/2016 14:42

🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐 missed that bit !!

WorraLiberty · 09/07/2016 14:44

Kiss, according to the OP she lives alone.

So no doubt she'll have rent/council tax/gas/electric etc... to pay.

Quiero · 09/07/2016 14:44

Mmmmmm steak bake

KissMyArse · 09/07/2016 14:59

Worra Fair enough if she lives in a high cost area then I agree £1,500 take home pay a month probably won't be enough. If she's in a low cost area then it should be plenty to cover living expenses especially with discounted pies

EveOnline2016 · 09/07/2016 15:07

Perhaps the manager has giving her permission to do so.

OP can advice her DN about managing on £22k a year because she's just been offered a job herself for that same amount. Confused

If she's selling a bunch of Ted Baker stuff with tags on and won't tell anyone where she gets them from...

Come on, Sherlock.
