What does the sexy man on the doors have to do with this?

[Marsh.]

No I've never been sacked. Always good at my job.

[armand.kay]

yeah when worked in a call centre. I was expecting it though I was **** I actually lasted a lot longer than I should've because I got everyone there to like me

[armand.kay]

oh also tesco but that was back when I was younger and was only working to add to what my parents were giving me. I literally did not care.

People always say this but retail has changed so much that companies kinda need self service tills to cut their costs or they might not be able to keep their shops open at all.. it's just the reality that there's gonna be fewer and fewer people employed in retail but its better to have some people employed in a shop that remains open than no people employed..

I almost did for telling a customer to shut the fook up and get back in her kennel after she kept constantly complaining over things that didnt need complaining over and was being a rude bitch.

But I got away with a warning and had to write and apology letter which I didnt actually write as I refused but a manager I was good mates with did it for me and saved my bacon

[Denver]

Then I quit 3 months later

[Greg!]

Was sacked from my first part time job (catering) cos I was shite! Boss was also an old perv and fancied me so was going to leave anyway x

All that means is that large supermarket companies are not willing to take a cut in profits to sustain jobs that humans can do am lot better than I can when faced by all those screen choices..many a time I've just walked and left it all just sitting there behind me..

Have any of you ever got the sack ?


No but I've had a few verbal teabags of toy soldier on tibb a few times.
