Posting for traffic! I just want everyone to join me in a huge Christmas shout-out to thank all the supermarket staff who have been up early replenishing the mountains of 5p veg and baking the croissants so we can all enjoy our Christmases!
I was in Lidl first thing as I forgot something in my big shop, and the same guy served me who I saw on Saturday. He looked haggard!
I remembered him saying he was on shift at 4am every day as they have to restock before opening early at 7am. And he had got stuck working “late” on Christmas Eve because his Scrooge management changed their minds about letting him leave at 8am which meant he was going to be late picking up his kids from his ex for his day with them. I could have cried for him.
So … to all the shop assistants but most especially the ones in Lidl and Aldi where they really work you so hard … thank you, and happy Christmas
