The Belfast one due to parking restrictions will even pay for parking nearby - it is little things like that, that give the feel good factor.

All the stores do that if they don't have their own parking. We also Give out free umbrellas if it's raining, hand warmers if you have to queue outside in the winter sales and stuff like that Oh and we actually try to be honest with our customers too Makes it easier to work in sales!

One of my colleagues sold a weighted telescope to a woman for her 8 year old to open from Santa. She just took it home and wrapped it up, only for her daughter to find an empty box with two weights inside, 'is Santa' having a joke with me?' I was in charge (was not a manager) on Boxing Day when she returned to store. The mother was livid understandably, but also concerned that we would not believe her. I knew where it was, because our records showed none left, but we still had one on display for the previous three days - which we knew had to be 'out there'. What can you say to that? Hold your hands up, 'we messed up, I am sorry' refunded and given the telescope was all I could do (along with the refunded receipt stating 'Santa Claus - deliver to ***** street' on it ). Area manager was not pleased, but it was our mistake and they went out with a thank you and a smile.

We are told when we first start with the company that you won't ever get into trouble for trying to help a customer

So the preparation of the trust is to make sure his wife doesn't have to oversee the process, what a wonderful man. He seems to think he will die early like his father, taking into account he cycles around London and reckons he could die unexpectedly, I do hope not. |

I still think it is wrong to be sucked into the hype. For like 'project fear' it is hype. The simple fact that more people (at least publiscised -which in itself could be an issue as far as figures go) rely on food banks, is enough to suggest that on paper the economy may indeed be better but the population is not (the figures simply cannot prove this for the reasons stated before).
To put it into a car analogy, my car on a rolling road states it produces 195 bhp, whereas your identical in every way, produces only 145. Why? Different rolling road, different software, operator, etc etc. Sent from my SM-A600FN using Tapatalk

CLF.
Oh, I see! Even the facts are lies now! How far back should we go? WW1, WW2, Civil War, 1066? Alternatively, choose any period or era that comes to mind, there is no real comparison to make because each new era brings its own standing social conditions together with its challenges. The best and most accurate measure of comparative growth/prosperity is to compare a country’s performance with others of a similar kind, both legal and political, and proximity that trades under similar conditions. Now, where would we find one like that? Like Europe for instance! Go on, try that! EU unemployment overall (including UK lowest since you-know-when) as at 1/3/2019 - 7.8% (from 8.6% in 2018). Take UK low figure out of the ‘28’ because it weights the answer and their figure, which is the nearest fair comparison to UK, becomes around 8.5%. Then, you look at youth unemployment on its own in Europe. It is frightening. I take your point, things for many of the least well off have changed in a big way but they always have and always will. Until the revolution, that is.
