Too all you gitsy skivers
I used to work at a supermarket that was Way Safe.
I was a stock management assistant. Which is much better than a stock replenishment assistant.
I checked goods for out of date-ness and reduced items that would otherwise be wasted so that they were actually sold that day.
I did well, sometimes I only had a handful of items to delete at the end of the day (ie lost goods).
I was thorough. I checked each & every item I was supposed to. Working back through the shelves, all that.
My breaks were 15minutes long *exactly* or thereabouts. Sometimes shorter.
On my breaks, which were invariably at about half 6 in the evening, I had noone to talk to. In fact I don't think I had more than about 3 breaks actually talking to anyone at all: relevant because wasn't part of the smoking crew in their little room.
One of the other guys who did my job, on different days, used to have half hour/45min breaks, smoking away with the lazy cashiers. He didn't do the job properly, never checked what he should. Always signed the sheet off without a care in the world. Did he get caught? Did he bollocks.
I did a Sunday night once. Noone told me I should have checked the chillers upstairs. veg got thrown out. Manager told me in a "tsk" type way. I didn't care, as noone had told me. Realised after that it was actually the twat who was on in the morning who should have checked that anyway. Who was that? Hmm...

I found out after a few months that the shelf stackers who were younger than me were being paid more. Got annoyed.

I went to work for an insurance company. New year pay review - they have me a 12p rise. Raised the base rate by 50p.
16 year olds who'd just started were getting more than me. I found out after 6 months. They back paid me till the start of new financial year.
Wankers.
Being a quiet and unassertive maths & physics student, I said nothing.

Facking would now.

So this is a small rant at all you lazy bastards who did fuck all and got away with it for years.

Because I wish I'd been you.
