I feel sorry for you guys....I hope the goverment has plans to deal with this....

Yeah, I think maybe they should nationalise it, and they they could sell it on in a few years.

But then I suppose people could say why aren't they nationalising all closing shops.

I feel sorry for the workers who have been at WW for years, supporting their families.
Im only 17 and been there just over a year so am going to find it easier than some to get another job..
Still such a shame to see such a big company go down the pan.

Where will i get my pic and mix from now eh?!

Hmm.. I dunno why people are so bothered by this, do you do all your shopping at Woolworths? LMAO.

*thinks*hmm.. i will miss the pick'n'mix*cry*

Wilkinsons always did a better Pic n Mix anyway *runs* :whistle:

I'm joking.
I'm just glad that I work in TESCO - the biggest supermarket around so I don't think my job is going anywhere anytime soon.

LOL I think its more all of the job losses, and some people feel WoolWorths is 'part' of Britain.

Erm... because people are losing their jobs. Simple.

Maybe because you're still like 11 and haven't grown up with Woolworths. So "LMAO" to that.

Aww babe, like your new hair.

:bored:
cos if a company as big and longstanding as wollies can down the pan it kinda poses a possible scary future for all other retailers its the credit crunch and sadly its just gonna get worse before it gets better
oh and not forgetting all the many thousands of people who will jobless as of january a little tact goes a long way theres at least 2 such people on tibb in fact in this thread

ASDA and TESCO are the biggest supermarket around.

I think Tesco is bigger, apparently 1 in every 7 pound spent in retail is spent at Tesco.

Do you understand the economy?
And do you understand what unemployemnt means?


Thought not

Customer - "well how the bloody hell can you be out of stock?"
Me - "Do you not watch the news? Whos next please..."

Customer - "whats the guarantee on this?"
Me - "Probably the next two weeks at most - why not buy 2 in case this one breaks?"

Things like this make the last days more fun! :whistle:

yeh if you are unempolyed for to long you turn out like me... lol..

:hug::hug::hug: some people are far too rude all for the sake of saving a couple of quid

Haha completly agree. :hug:

"Ha so your losing your job then!"
"Yeah merry christmas to you too you idiot"

LOL Ive had EXACTLY the same comments as well
We arent closing on the 27th though

Haha we are not on the 27th either..
Theyre judging it on how much total bookstock you have left for the whole store, so the quicker the stock runs out, the earlier you are closed :sad:

The British public amazes me :laugh:

Thats good, will you be paid for the work you do in January too?

Yeah payday is scheduled for 28th january so hopefully it still goes ahead! :rolleyes:

I expect the administrators will have to make sure that there is enough money kept by from sales to pay all of the staff's wages.

Thats good
You guys deserve being payed, seeing as its most likely ruined Christmas '08 for you guys

Jesus christ, take a chill pill - what's your problem?

The problem is you finding Big Sis and beanny2k's unemployment a "LMAO" worthy thing

God - I wasn't talking about people's job's being lost - I was talking about the actual fact the shop was closing down. And you saying because maybe I havent grown up with it - god its a SHOP - not a pet you have had since birth and now it's died.
