Is this a fucking piss take, even before Covid 19, 3/4 of the fucking tills are un-manned. Stores going from 24 hours to 12 does nothing but force the buyer to having any old shit you put out. have you ever worked in retail fella.. I take it you haven't never heard such a stupid reply on here ever... You are talking bollocks Why do i have to work there when i shop there...fella |

If you don't know what you're talking about you really should shut up. I've spent the last 28 years working in a specialist clothing supplier to the NHS.They've never bothered with the UK textile industry because they want cheap and the UK textile industry makes premium product so they havnt been interested in this market until last week. Nothing to do with this government or any Tory government,in fact the NHS dependence on foreign textiles and PPE goes back to the closures of the NHS hospital laundries and the outsourcing to private enterprise of linen services under the Blair government. Our firm had 60 machinists in 1997 now we have 2 making special order items everything else is produced overseas because the NHS won't pay the price of UK manufacture. Blame that on who you like but its got naff all to do with this lot. I feel your pain and share your anger. When and if this is all over there are going to be a lot of questions which will be asked, and this time THEY MUST BE ANSWERED. We have had yers and years, generations and generations of Bull Shit. Enough is Enough. I and we are not extremely political, we just Demand to know , WHAT IS GOING ON ? Does that have a sound of the sixties? Maybe they were right, they certainly changed thinking at the time for the next 50/60 yrs.! Protectionalism makes perfect sense. Dont rely on foreign companies to make essential equipment and supplies. Bring it home, ok, the unit cost will be higher, but it will create 1000's of jobs and by virtue pump millions back into our economy. One of my clients makes masks in China, to be shipped back here, they have been prevented from doing so, and are now making masks solely for the Chines domestic market. Bring it home, it's called Re Shoring. Read this...Makes perfect sense. www.reshorenow.org/ |

Why would they? They're not NHS approved suppliers,they don't produce the required product to the required standards,you don't just cobble up anything and its fit for purpose.Look up the standards they're complex and must be approved by the MHRA,CfPP-01-04, HTM-01-05 etc If they did I sure you'd have plenty to say about more incompetence. We have 3 containers at sea and I'm sure my friends and competitors in our industry are all doing the same .We're working flat out to provide the gear that's needed so park your party political dogma it's got nothing to do with this. Theres got to be some thought put into a Make British Buy British campain when this is all over. They won't pay for UK manufactured goods,at least they wouldn't for the past 23 years. |

I'm no fan of Kinnock JR but you'd think South Wales Police would have more on their plate wouldn't you. I'm not sure they have: Real criminals daren't go out because they stand out like a sore thumb, no houses to burgle because everyone's at home. Very few motorists on the road, pubs shut so no drunken arseholes!! What can they do? I know, stamp down on people walking along canal towpaths and people visiting close family members. The world really has truly gone mad. |

'Up to 6 months until life returns to normal'
Do you think folks will stay the course with the end of life as we knew it? The behavioural scientists are telling us many of us will struggle to make 6 days never mind 6 months. I guess that is why we are all getting a pamphlet and a letter from the PM designed to encourage a nationwide stiffening of the fibres.
I just think there may come a point as spring turns to summer when some folks simply take a view that while mass deaths are not ideal the alternative is even worse and they are just going to try to get on with their lives. I suppose part of the point is there is no life to get on with since everything is closed.
I'm not advocating a break for the border although I'll admit I am not enjoying this one iota.

I don't think that's the case at all thorney, everyone seems very relaxed and compliant in my opinion. The crazy panic buying has stopped and people seem to accept we're in for a bit of a long haul. The only thing to change that ironically could be the police being a bit heavy handed enforcing the government legislation (is it even legislation, I don't know??). |

It really isn't feasible for us to have a lockdown for 6 months. That's both socially and economically. Can't see it happening at all. Praying that the introduction of antibody testing will help us to ease the lockdown restrictions a lot sooner than that. |

Re-stacking the shelves has been the biggest problem, it's why Tesco went from 24 hour trading to closing at 22:00 and opening at 06:00 so they could physically get product out onto the shop floor. Initially the staff were that busy at the tills there wasn't enough of them to move items from the holding area to the shelves. Stores have so little storage space these days that you end up with a bottle neck as trucks then can't offload deliveries as there's nowhere to put the stock...... Is this a fucking piss take, even before Covid 19, 3/4 of the fucking tills are un-manned. Stores going from 24 hours to 12 does nothing but force the buyer to having any old shit you put out. 7/10 days ago people were filling their trolleys up to the brim and queuing from the tills to the back of the store. The measures taken were to allow time to replenish the stock without the distraction of shoppers dragging items out of cages/off pallets before they even touched the shelves. It’s not rocket science. |

Why do i have to work there when i shop there...fella and what were you forced to buy then... You can't be too choosy when you are following a painted one way system. So have i (over the course of fuck knows how long) imagined being in Aldi with 2 checkouts out 7 open ? Supermarkets are milking this, i don't have to work in retail to see it. |

A nice story here my company has gone on furlough for all non management or supervisors as of last Friday. One lad who’s on the shop floor who works with us is the only agency staff as he was filling a gap, so he’s doing this week to make 12 weeks so we can set him on and furlough him otherwise he’s on universal credit with 6 kids. He was due to be set on after his twelve weeks anyway but from what I’m hearing most places are looking for any reason Bon people so I thought it was a nice story at the minute.
