Well my line manager wasn't in last night so he couldn't bin me off

They did bin 2 more off though from the day staff yesterday so that was 7 in Total.
Apparently they are moving some Tesco staff from another store over rather than lay them off. I think this is quite good as it shows they look after the Tesco staff but apparently it is a way of getting rid of people without paying redundancy. The way it goes is to move staff to stores they have to commute to so the staff get pissed off & find summit else, JD. (Allegedly)
Most of the staff there are feeling understandably insecure which has a pretty bad effect on morale.
The low Morale has brought peoples thoughts to the fore & it is said out loud now that Tesco don't want the Somerfield staff & as soon as they are gone the better, This comes from the old Somerfield staff, Not Tesco.

So,
Nowt to report yet & I just sit here dreading the phone ringing & them binning me off that way. I do have that feeling of impending doom & really can't see me getting a permanent job, This is mainly down to the current climate the fact that Tesco will move there permanent staff in & bin the temp rather than bin there own.
I honestly cannot argue with that & just hope that one day I am permanent Tesco & get the same protection.

@Wossi
Blinding idea mate

Don't know about comment cards but a phone call to the day manager would be kin Hilarious

@Semi
I am hoping the same thing mate, The way she looked at my name badge was either for Future reference or to pass on a compliment, I am hoping it's the latter tbqfh as it wouldn't do me any harm at all.
The one thing I do better than Anybody else in the shop or at least as well as the other Best person is deal with the Customers, It's mad & feels like a Calling it really does

I am kin Superb with Strangers even if I say so myself

Last night I had 2 complete piss heads in my right hand & 2 Cops on lunch in my other, To me it makes no difference at all & nobody does as much as me to sort a customer out.
They need to pay me 30k a year to be customer liason officer

My job would be to go round stores nationwide bringing standards of service up to mine

Initially I would hit them on stealth to suss out where & who is messing my system & then once identified I would set about the staff to show them the way

As tongue in cheek as this post is I am very confident that if Everybody treated the customers the way I do our business would Double.
No way would anybody go to Any other store & put up with the low level of service they recieve when they could get my level of service for free, YES I am bloody serious
