to feel really sorry for the people who work in woolworths

[2AdventSevenfoldShoes]

Just went into woolies
people are queing round th block, the staff are working thier socks of,
and what will they get at the end of it........
no job

I know, I hope they're getting a decent chunk of redundancy pay...

there's a shop near us that's even worse though. The staff have been told it's closing and they're loosing their jobs but not when that will be. So everyday they come in to find out if they still have a job or not.

dh has just been through that, he knew the work was running, just not when it would run out. not a happy time,

I know, i love woolies. But I thought it was 'in administration' (ie being bought out/rescued) rather than being shut down?? So they might not lose their jobs.

I do feel sorry for them, I went to the sale at opening time this morning and bless the smily happy woolworths lady who still took the time to talk to my 2 year old, and the staff were walking around the shop directing people to the best bargains and helping people to carry things. I'm not sure I could manage such customer service in the face of losing my job at Christmas.

I do too... went into the big warehouse one and the staff were all so pleasant and cheery and thought what lovely people you are, don't deserve this
I thing the warehouse stores will be staying open for longer than the high street stores - I'm guessing that they'll close the smaller stores first and send all the stock upto the warehouse stores.

Totally crappy

My Dad's cousin works in Woolies and said to my Gran that you shouldn't believe all you read Not sure if that is her being optimistic or not?
