To be fair he didn't mention anyone being abusive. He can't talk about not being a condescending p***k in the same breath as talking about how they "educate and inform" customers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a scare story your boss has put round the place to keep people in check tbh. No sane person is going to waste time or resources having people check CCTV for an entire day to make sure people follow wee arrows on the floor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true_rover Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I need to go to the bank in order to cash a cheque. What time are the banks open until currently? I have looked on the RBS website and it contradicts itself. My nearest RBS is about half an hour away on the train, so I don't want to make an unnecessary trip.Could you not use a post office if it's closer? They have the facilities to take pay ins.On the other hand, does the RBS mobile app allow paying in cheques? I know other banks do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do need to call the police you need to deploy a John Bunnell style zinger from world's wildest police videos. "There's only one way you're going now: straight to jail." Please do this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Couple of bits of positive trends today. 7 day deaths have now dropped to just 4. Tomorrow will be interesting to see. If it could be 5 again that would see this drop to 3 Just 0.6% of tests yesterday came back positive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly when they just forgot to get the two pints of milk that they were in for in the first place. Jeez that brings back memories of pre-isolating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about the inevitable escalation. I think shops probably have the right to ask you to leave if you're not meeting their standards for health and safety. I agree with you on the main issues here but you're posting style is actually converting people to the opposite position. Take a wee breather from time to time. Customers are starting to argue amongst themselves which is fine. People skipping the que seems to be a good laugh , safety comes first always 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 We do the best we can. However we are not the police. Advise customers to follow one way. Lead by example however sometimes can be tricky. What’s the deal with more than one family member shopping together (young children excepted)? My local Tesco is advising it should be only 1 person per household but say they can’t enforce it, I’ve generally found the shopping experience to be quite pleasant during lockdown with people (in general) being more considerate etc. Was slightly perturbed with a mother, father & 3 teenage kids blocking an aisle arguing about which cheese slices they wanted. Tbf, it was the fact they were buying processed cheese slices, and felt the need to argue about it that annoyed me the most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 To my mind, theres absolutely no requirement whatsoever for a one way system now. The shops arent overly busy, stuff isnt in short supply, the government have defined a contact as being within 2 metres for 15 mins. Who are we protecting with a one way system now? We do the best we can. However we are not the police. Advise customers to follow one way. Lead by example however sometimes can be tricky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
