They have other items, but their prime focus is specialising in cheese. The shops have about 75% cheese and 25% other items. Also, the name of the shop is I.J Mellis Cheesemonger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, maybe to get the St Andrews shop publicity, they want to differentiate themselves from other delis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed that I added that post to one involving meat, causing confusion. If it's a selection of chutney and oatcakes to go with the cheese, then it's a cheesemonger. When cheese is 'just another product they sell', then that's a deli. My butcher sells rolls, fruit/veg etc alongside the meat, but is still very clearly a butcher.

Had one boy at 8am who got pissed off because we were shut. Do it all again tomorrow but this time we open at 9am. He's going to be pissed off again tomorrow then, but just not for so long.

DA Baracus Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I was in the Hilltown Tesco earlier. It was shut so it was the perfect time to rob the b*****d* *It wasn't really shut. I purchased some sausage rolls, some shortbread and some crisps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Only c*nts shop on New Years Day. If no-one did it, shopworkers would have a holiday too. As recently as the 1980's, everything (including pubs and clubs) shut at 10:30 pm on the 31st, and didn't reopen until the 2nd. Is it too much to ask to return to that?

DA Baracus Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I wouldn't have went in if it wasn't open. I was vainly hoping they'd have fresh lasagne sheets. They didn't. I had to soak the dry ones then cut them to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the shops were shut I bet most of the people who went to them today wouldn't have complained. Probably only went because they could, they were off work, and couldn't be bothered waiting till the weekend. People are weird. There's no *need* for anything other than vital public services to be open on New Year's Day. Corporate greed is the real reason they open.

I don't feel that anyone should have to be forced to work on Xmas day or New Years Day unless they are providing an essential service. Selling me a bag of tatties or a bottle of beer/wine doesn't fall into that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the internet if people want to shop on Xmas day, Boxing day or New year's day then they can knock themself out on Amazon. You just know staff in the shops are paid a shitey wage too.

Shotgun Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I wonder how many executives of these retail firms went into work today. I'm guessing somewhere in the region of none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 When I was in Hungary, I was talking to a chap who said that when there are national holidays - the owner / boss of a business can demand that his employees can work - but only if he turns up for work himself. Seems fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems fair enough. I can't remember the details, but when I worked there Poland operated a similar system. I agree, it's fair enough. I'm not sure how it works now, but when I was a student (15 years ago, help mah boab) I worked in a bar/restaurant and we were always shut on New Year's Day. Only day of the year the place was closed. Don't know if that's still how it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
