philpy Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It's almost like these customers might have jobs to do at other times! I know gaz, it just gets a bit nippy. All the managers at the other branches (and ours) have asked head office to consider shutting for an hour at lunchtime, but they won't agree to it. Mind you, the bosses are dundonians... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Also, a few of the customers wouldn't come in at the time if they had the choice, but if their bosses tell them go for materials, then they've got to follow orders I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Oh, philpy.Why would a boss agree to closing at the busiest time of the day? Plenty of the other merchants do it, walker timber, keyline, and a few of the plumbers merchants as well. It can be a busy time, but when you have folk that are on their feet from 7am and are entitled to a break, something has to give. There have been days where I've not had my lunch until 2pm FFS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason why it would be silly for you to also close at that time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky if I've stopped for a pee by that time some days! Suck it up, princess. If lunch time is the busiest time, you get your break before or after that. It's not rocket surgery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been days where I've not had my lunch until 2pm FFS That's an entirely different matter - your bosses should arrange staffing / breaks to comply with employment law. Closing at what you call lunchtime would be lunacy given your reporting of when you are busy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Phoenix Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Why don't staff just stagger their lunch breaks so there's always folk on the shop floor? Indeed, the very point I'm making and the lead should be taken by Management. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Seriously what is wrong with this guy? Complains that someone comes in at 4.55 and gets rightly slated for it, then complains that people come in during their lunch break, then complains that the company don't shut the doors during the busiest time of the whole day! No lunch before 2pm?! Are you for real?! -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Work being quiet most of the morning, but the minute it hits lunchtime, the customers all start piling in. This bit here, in bold, yes that bit, have your lunch then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
