Have any of you ever got the sack ?
 

Has anyone ever got the sack from a job they thought they were secure in for life ? Myself .............never

No, not yet, though I think my new manager hates me :worry:

No :angel:

Nope but honestly the way things are going I probably would have been made redundant from shop work eventually it's all scan and go now

qua got the sack for letting a guinea pig out of the shop at a pet store

Me..I have.


The managing director grabbed my ex wife's arse at the xmas party so I layed into him..

I don't like it, they have just opened a till free Sainsburys....

a shop filters dream

I was scan and go and lottery in asda and SO many people were on the rob in scan and go. Once I had to rescan a woman's shopping and she hadn't scanned any alcohol, meat or perfume and they just kick off at us leave the shop and come in another day on the rob again

When we rescanned her whole shop it was £300 odd quid and she had only scanned just under £100 of stuff its shocking

Seen it myself where there are tills with staff with no queue and they are all queueing for self scan, that should be enough to get the warning bells ringing for shop managers you would think

Yeah you'd think so but I am still friendly with people I worked with from there and management seem oblivious to it all

Perhaps having less staff means loss through theft is recouped from wages saved or something idk

Sacked from my first job.
Went to a New Year’s Eve party that lasted 3 days:blush:
Arrived at work and told the truth.:shrug:

I'd rather just go to self scan cos it's less awkward conversations :hehe:

But then someone always has to come over anyway cos it says I have an unidentified item in the bagging area when I don't :(

Haven't been sacked but I don't particularly get on with one of my managers. The other manager loves me though :smug:

Yeah but it was just a retail job, I was "spinning the wheels" before starting my actual/current work

No, although there's been a few times where I've come close to being sacked.

Self scan tills will put people out of work soon

yep, a friend of mine went into a bank a few years ago and went to the counter and the woman behind directed her to the self service tills when she told her she was putting herself out of a job the woman just smirked, no smirking now the bank has 2 counter staff from about 10

aw fair enough :sad:

Never but I've told a couple to shove it and walked out lol

I hate the self scan things, if I ever decide to go through them, it’s cause I’m in a rush, I might as well go to a human with the amount of time that’s wasted waiting for assistance

Ive done that but never got the sack

I've been tempted to do that on several occasions.

:joker:

I preferred when self scan was literally just for people had a couple of items to fly through instead of queuing behind Mary with 3 trolleys.

But now it's all bloody self scan. Ridiculous.

What you done and not got the sack?
