Sometimes it can help to just scream it out what's [Removed] you off....

 

I'll start...

As my "company" (aid relief, but behaving like a company) changed so many things.... Our teamleader was thrown out, is a normal co-worker now... The shiftplans are "planed" centrally now (I can't even say it's planned, that would imply it has a structure, but it's just like throwing [Removed] on a paper). The shiftplan is.... just no. We work our asses off, have plushours galore and the other watch has minushours. So they have freetime enough and we thought about putting containers on the watch to live there, because we don't know why we pay rent for our flats - we're hardly ever there!... And the best shifts are always given to the temporary workers who already have a very good job, so they get the extra amount on money instead of us....

Next week I can finally take my annual leave from LAST year (by law you have to take it by 31th march by exception... I got it excepted even longer. I'm so ready for a holiday!

It's Sod's Law innit? ...

My phone is ringing & I'm not far from home, wending my way back to My Place

I decide to ring back when I've dumped my stuff in the kitchen & attended to the cat

Look at phone & it says Private Number! ... Smiley Frustrated

I just piut this as a reply in the "Things I just realised" thread, but it also belongs here. So here it is LOL

 

Dunno if it saves supermarkets money, but I wish supermarkets would keep the quid to release a trolley system, because since the supermarkets near me have ditched this, trolleys are left everywhere and mixed up in the trolley park etc.

 

It really riles me that people cannot put trolleys back properly in the shelters provided and instead try to ram the wrong trolleys together etc. Really annoys me how some people seem to think they are above putting things back properly.  If they had to get their quid back they would do it properly

Thanks

It's even worse when they leave the trolley in the car parking spot they have just vacated. Making sure other shoppers have to get out of their cars, remove the trolley....just so they can park!!!!!

Morrisons don't use coins / tokens ... there is a grumpy trolley man

I have usally 2 or 3 bags of shopping to carry home so have them in the trolley & push it as near to the pedestrian crossing as I can & leave it properly so it's not going to roll away or be in anyone's way innocent

 

Edited for spelling & wrong word 

 

@EmilieT @Martin-O2 @Marjo ... can you please move this post, it was replying to a previous post now moved to The Grumble Thread ... thank you

This has always been a problem that is noticeably worse now that you don't need a  squid to release them. I've spotted them miles from where they should be and a few years ago i read that they cost around £150 reach to make. Let me think who pays for them......

In the days when I actually went food shopping rather than getting home deliveries, I came home from Waitrose to find a Waitrose trolley in our hall. Some lazy so and so, probably half my age, couldn't be bothered to carry a couple of bags home. Then dumped the trolley on the ground floor to get in everyone's way.

 

I took it back and put it with the rest of the trolleys. Then went home again. And this before I actually worked for Waitrose. I mean how blooming difficult is it to put a trolley back. In my local Waitrose they're literally on your way out of the store; it takes less than a minute.
