If you take on the role on that basis, then no issue, but taking on a role instore say on the tills and then being told you need to clean the toilet then no, sorry that is all kinds of wrong, also how will the even it out between staff as to who does it and when

It's not about being "above" it. It's about them not being hired as cleaners.

I notice no one complained when till workers now just show an item to s scanner and don't have to do any arithmetic at all now in that job.

Last time I was in there were 3 young kids all staring into space on the till and 3 of them gossiping at the veg. Be goodcto make them work harder, make the shift go quicker and learn them about cleaning for when they get a house.

I'm shocked so many are perfectly fine with this, I think it's disgusting.

Imagine you get served and then the person who just dealt with you had just been cleaning the customer the loos?

[One insider told the Guardian that staff felt “stabbed in the back” after working flat out to keep shelves full for shoppers during the lockdown. “Tesco are trying to cut costs and it stinks,” they said.]


Yes it will save Tesco,
Big Money they pay out to large contractors.

It makes sense
in a Business decision, to me.

If anyone has ever seen a worker at Tesco working flat out can they share with the forum?

Doesn't bear thinking about does it.
Plus it's going to be likely done in a hurried fashion.

Scanning items.... as well as remembering a bunch of different retail laws that could get them sacked and charged if they don't uphold them, and dealing with an irate public in a time of crisis and having to remain calm and try to de-escalate situations while being screamed at by said irate public for things that are out of the employee's hands.

It's easy to minimise how hard a job is when you're ignorant of what it entails I suppose.

This is the problem - it's very hard to strike in a low wage job that has a low qualifications/experience threshold and doesn't take long to train up new staff. Striking only works if staff are not replaceable or would take years to replace (teachers, doctors & nurses, fire brigade etc.)

We do some cleaning at work, like sweeping floor or wiping surfaces.
But we also have cleaning staff, which is very important i think, especially these days.

‘The sales bonanza enjoyed by the supermarket made Tesco’s decision to pay a Ł635m dividend to shareholders earlier this year a controversial one. Critics argued that the largesse was misplaced given it had accepted a business rates holiday worth Ł585m from the government’s emergency coronavirus support package.’


‘in a statement Tesco said “....Following a successful trial, we have found that giving our stores more ownership and control over their cleaning results in better and more consistent standards. We will now roll this out to all our Express stores and convenience Metro stores.”


...it would follow then, that the same ‘successful trial’ would apply to the Executive offices as well and that all senior management teams will also be taking control over their cleaning result in the strive strive for more consistent standards in their working environment.../training obviously given...

There’s only one reason they’re doing this and that’s greed. “I have a great idea let’s just get rid off our cleaners and just palm the job off onto our shop floor workers I mean, it’s not as if they don’t work hard enough as it is?”

Not that it's right (it's not) but tbh this would only bring them in line with many other retailers who ditched contracted cleaners years ago

Also worth noting this is only in small shops where the cleaning is more manageable

This is stupid and as a former Tesco employee (a big store though) I know that everyone would just refuse to do it, esp. things like toilets.

I work in a convenience store for another supermarket chain at the moment and I think the cleaner only does 3 or 4 hours every morning (I don't work mornings so I'm not 100% sure) but it's useful when there is even less of you than usual to work morning deliveries. At the moment we are already cleaning almost everything every hour anyway due to coronavirus (tills, atm, handles, screens, basically anything that is touched)... I would simply refuse to clean the toilet, canteen etc!
