@windturbines I can’t quote for some reason.
“A reduction in staff? I don't think so, most places have hired lots of people over the last 6 months. We can't get enough staff at the minute because we need people to monitor the number of customers entering the store, as well as CA's to work in hygiene control (on top of a normal level of staff working tills and stocking the store). Sales are also booming and extra staff will always be needed to keep up with the extra demand.”
None of that is happening in Manchester. They may have “hired lots of people” when normal staff weren’t working but I’ve shown you that only two or three staff are now required for 25-30 self check out tills.
“You also need to remember that due to the sheer number of people retail workers are surrounded by day to day, they will likely need to self isolate every few months (or even weeks) due to having Covid, Covid symptoms or track and trace. Therefore, leaving the shop with reduced staff levels. Self service helps keep the staff who work there in work for longer (less 1 on 1 contact with customers, so likely less chance of catching Covid), as well as helping protect staff who can't protect themselves due to irresponsible members of the public (people who don't socially distance/wear masks, people who don't self isolate, etc).“ do they? It’s just supermarket workers were breathing the same air as everyone else, without masks and no screens. I don’t see there being a huge outbreak amongst supermarket workers. There are no one tracking and tracing when visiting my large Asda or any other supermarket I’ve been to.
“I also don't understand why you would try a coat on in store, most places have stopped this for a reason? It's a bit of a nuisance but please do try things on at home. Calling staff members 'idiots' for carrying out protocol for what their line managers have told them to do really isn't on, either. Do you think they honestly enjoy working at the minute? No. So stop being overly entitled and making it worse for them.”
I wanted to know which coat fitted before I bought it.... why wouldn’t I try it on? How is an item of clothing any different to the other items in the shelves that everyone has been touching and breathing over?
It is stupid that that coat had to go into isolation for two days and that she had to hang it back on the hanger and thus touch it herself. Brainless. Also she didn’t keep her distance and wasn’t wearing her mask correctly. Lol.
Again I’ve told you they’ve reduced the staff working at the changing room, therefore job loss.
Also it’s a joke the “hand sanitising” and the wiping of the handlebars for the supermarket trolly. People grab it from outside, touch it, that use a spray gun that everyone else has used, give it a quick wipe, use the hand gel, and than continue to touch their phone/keys/face etc.
