Foodhub is much better than just eat as they don't have a service charge and seem to be better for the establishment as well, they're certainly always promoting it with flyers etc in the takeaway bag. It's probably cheaper than jus eat but I'd still give their phone 1st crack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doulikefish Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 This is from the new guidelines in law today https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-business-and-social-distancing-guidance/You mentioned you cant social distance so the guidelines are there. Thanks, from experience I’ve always been under the impression that when it comes to health and safety it was black and white. If it’s not safe then stop. I’ve seen people at work stopping due to a dodgy trailing cable or low hanging piece of roof. This is 100 times worse and not even being discussed. As far as I’m concerned it’s a total breach of contract and also going against government advice. It’s also putting external workers at risk. I cannot keep apart from colleagues at work due to my job. For them to run a risk assessment and pass it is a total nonsense. Im not the only one being asked but it’s not just about me this decision could kill people and clog up the health system meaning others in need of care cannot get treatment. If the cases rise and rise then if, hopefully not, hospitals are overrun then I’m claiming breach of contract and it’s up to them to respond. They also have previous for lying about the snow storm and making out that hr didn’t tell them soon enough when they did, just for one days extra work. In a way I’m glad because this finally settles any doubt about just how bad they are and backing bullying management and avoiding sexism and racism complaints. It’s true what they say about showing true colours in a crisis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 1 minute ago, throbber said: The supermarket workers deserve a round of applause as much as the NHS staff do, some of the shite I’ve seen them take recently has been disgraceful. Tesco have given their workers a temporary 10% increase during this time, however it's nowhere near enough for what they're doing and the crap they're having to deal with. I hate to sound like a broken record, but I honestly believe that anyone deemed to be a "key worker" should have their tax suspended whilst this crisis is ongoing, as a gesture of Thanks if nothing else. Let's be honest, if he can find £2,500 per month to pay people for doing nothing at home, then he can afford to give a tax break to the people on the front line, especially as they'll be the ones who undoubtedly end up paying for it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Quote 'Advice on protective gear for NHS staff was rejected owing to cost.' If it turns out Tory govts were happy to stockpile for Brexit but not for the NHS, this won't be a good look. Quelle surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 21 minutes ago, JTS98 said: Supermarket workers are quite clearly a special case. It's obviously dangerous for them, but how do you propose to feed 65 million people without them? There's no sense in comparing them to other jobs. If it was dangerous their unions would be saying not to work. Another poster has said the estimate is 65,000 cases in Scotland and supermarket workers have had by far the most social contacts (especially last week) but there is no reporting of high numbers requiring medical attention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make this day 1 of 7 for her and of 14 for me. What are P&B’s thoughts on getting takeaways at this time? Worthwhile to ensure the food you have in lasts a bit longer without requiring someone else to go to a shop themselves to pick up more for you (provided you’re pre-paying by card obviously) or selfish to make restaurant staff and delivery drivers continue to work and put themselves at risk when they don’t have to be considered essential despite providing food? Nearly all the good ones in Greater Greenock are already shut. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Today woke up no symptoms other than a bit of a lingering cough thinking back I'm sure this started with me more than a week ago. Last wednesday I remember feeling utterly fucked but put it down to shift work. Anyway off to tesco I go due to the fact the fridge was empty and the kids were eyeing up the cat for a meal. All very civilised got in line with a trolley halfway round the car park waited about 20 minutes to get on. The store was quiet and pretty well stocked, still didn't get toilet roll or many tinned goods but other wise loads of fresh fruit, veg and bread. Back now and I thought I'd be knackered but still feeling pretty good only long term issue appears to be a lack of taste and smell. anyone know when those will return?
