I know this isn't a AIBU but it's where the traffic is..

My sister said to me this evening that their friend works over night at M&S and is on £19per hour. I don't believe her (or him)
I work nights in a big chain supermarket and get just over £13.

So does anyone know if M&S do indeed pay £19.00PH to stock shelves in London?

If so, I'm clearly working in the wrong supermarket! 🤣

But they aren't just stocking any shelves...

According to recruitment site they pay a premium of 25% for over nights. That would still only make her rate £16 odd if compared to yours. But I assume your rate already includes a premium at £13?

Are you both in London?

Right, so £19 is still quite far off. She reckons he is special. 🤣

Yes mines is already premium and I'm not in London.

I just looked at Glassdoor. I don’t think it’s true unless she is some kind of manager.

Definitely not a manager. Just stocks the shelves. Like I should be doing right now. 🤣

Not true

Hmm. My cousin works for M&S in London, she’s worked there for at least 30 years. I bet she’s on that.

But not quite the same circumstances I’m sure!
