I lost a stone of weight in March. The manager went on long term sick leave and I was left up sh!t creek without a paddle. I had to organise a full stock take in 10 days, oversee the installation of a new till system and deal with the fall out when it didn't work and left us with two...

I believe that the majority of members on here are disappointed that a grown woman has so little self respect that she actively encourages the somewhat seedy attention she seems to revel in. Sadly women are being treated with less and less respect these days, a colleague who is in her mid 20's...

Shopping channels are actually just lots of advertisements for products all strung together. Therefore if a beauty BA has had work done be it botox, fillers or surgery they should be obliged to make that clear during their presentation, at best it is disingenuous to imply that using whatever...

I wish I could train them but the shop payroll budget is so tight that it's not possible to have enough staff in so two can work delivery and still have someone on the shop floor.

None of my colleagues are lazy! I have years of practice processing deliveries and I happen to be very good at it.

I just looked on Amazon, used as directed they would cost about £40 per month.

I am six weeks away from being 67. I still work 40+ hours a week and walk at lease 15,000 steps a day, many of them up and down stairs carrying boxes of books. It takes me half the time to hand haul a pallet of delivery in than it takes my colleagues, and most of them are less than half my age...

They are not worthy to be given the title 'shop assistant', they would not last a week in a retail environment especially at this time of the year when customers consider it perfectly acceptable to vent their bad mood on whichever member of retail staff they interact with, only yesterday I had a...

Kirks Folly regularly did cruises, Jenniefer Kirk often talked about them. I miss the days when QVC did a huge range of jewellery, South Western Silver, Kirks Folly, Suzy B, Black Hills Gold etc, nowadays it's same the old stuff over and over.

We had her Menopausing book on show in a prime position the day it was published in May, we started with ten copies, I happened to do a stock check yesterday, and five months later we still have the original ten copies, we haven't even had a copy stolen!

Bridesmaid bridesmaid bridesmaid bridesmaid BRIDESMAID!!!

In a weak moment I ordered it because I loved the Calico Cottage fudge, if I don't like it I'll send it back but make sure that there are teeth marks on every bar 😬😆

In my store we've had Davina's menopause book in stock for weeks, I'm almost sure that we have yet to sell one, come to think of it I haven't seen anyone actually pick it up and look at it and it's merchandised in a prime position. Sharply contrasted with the new Richard Osman book 'The Last...

The word 'gay' for homosexuals was first in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1951, but it was probably in use for 30 years before then, some think it stands for Good As You. It got adopted into regular use because the word 'queer' for homosexuals was considered derogatory for a while but the...

It's not difficult to change a tap washer providing you know where the stop cock is, I rent and could get the landlord's plumber to do it but it's more convenient to do it myself. I expect that there are lots of demonstration videos on Youtube.

A former member of this forum, her name escapes me, did some Qurio videos then resurfaced here to have a rant at some members for being critical of the way QVC were treating Qurio members and expressing concern that it looked very likely that some of the video posters had an out of control QVC...

A lot of the youngsters that come in my store are tattooed. Some of them have very fine lined designs, which will spread over time and lose definition, some have tattoos that are very 'of the minute' so in a couple of years will look dated. I had a young woman in the store yesterday wearing...

I often browse in my local Sally Army shop so I got chatting with the volunteers, they were delighted to take the hair stuff but I don't know if it was because they know me and think that I am relatively harmless and look clean or if it's normal policy.

I have baby fine hair that I abuse so badly by bleaching my hairdresser is amazed that it sticks to my head. Thank you for the reviews, I've decided to go for it, I just donated two carrier bags full of hair care stuff that promised luscious locks but didn't work for me to the Salvation Army...

When I used to work for the late Queen and had occasion to phone the tax office (it the days when I had functioning hearing) the call was always answered immediately by someone with a cut glass accent, after I left that job (OK I was sacked :LOL:) and had occasion to phone HMRC I had to wait for...
