How dare he! What a wanker! OK, he didn't know why you were there, but ffs, why treat a child like that and shout at you?!

Agree with Twiglett - if you're up to it, a formal complaint would be a good plan

(Have been thinking of you today, sweetheart x x x)

Start with the job centre. They'll tell you who to speak to at Securitas.

SO for you. How dare he.

Complain in writing

intergalacticwalrus · 18/09/2006 16:30

and What a first class arsehole.

Definitely complain. Some security personnel let their "authority" go to their heads, and this bloke is a prime example. I am sure this is the last thing you need right now, but don't let him get away with it.

Hi, first of all I'm very sorry about your husband's death. I lost my Dad a short time ago, and my Mum and I went into the Job Centre to find out about bereavement benefit (I think it's £2,000). The lady behind the silly little counter was so rude and awful. She told us that the Job Centre had nothing to do with bereavement benefit (which is rubbish) and she had done her job for 25 years, and refused to deal with the claim form. So I tried to comfort my Mum but she told me later my face was bright red I was so angry. I decided to post the form to the exact same job centre and then they would have no choice but to deal with it, which they then did, and it was all sorted out. My slightly biased opinion is that they deliberately try to alienate people in that place, if I didn't speak English I would be sorely tempted to just do a cash-in-hand job rather than deal with their rudeness. It's really not what you need when you are trying to cope bereavement. Hope you can forget it by tomorrow. Take care.

Pixiefish · 18/09/2006 19:12

ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER.

NASTY PIECE OF SHIT DESERVES ..... DAREN'T SAY IT ON HERE

Sarahx2005 · 18/09/2006 20:15

Evil b**tard - obviously has insecurity issues and gets his buzz by trying to make others feel small. I'm so sorry YG - you should never have had to endure that kind of treatment.

Miaou · 20/09/2006 21:03

Have you had any joy Yorkie? Did they call you back?

Please complain in writing to the manager of the jobcentre. If you go in there is a leaflet entitled "how do i complain" . i work in a jobcentre. Sometimes the security guys are securitas or sometimes group4. Not sure if they are the same or not. Please, please complain in writing if you are up to it, and i am so sorry that this happened for you. Security guys are bloody pain in arse sometimes. Did you know you can also ask to be seen in private room if ever you want to, eg you are upset or would just like more privacy? you need to ask but this can be arranged in advance over the phone. Hope this helps.
