Fierce and Focused Fleecy Sep 2018 7:16pm, 24 Sep 2018 43,215 posts	Quote Pin Fierce and Focused Fleecy Useless supermarket staff. I had to tell the sole checkout chap to call his colleagues because there were 12 people queuing behind me. Ds2 spotted 3 other members of staff replenishing shelves in full sight of this queue. Fuck knows what the manager was doing, other than obviously not their job!

The Coop is very variable in its staff, in the Ryde shop they are brilliant, especially the man with dwarfism though he’s so small you can’t see him coming behind the checkouts as he rushes over to help
LazyDaisy Sep 2018 9:20pm, 24 Sep 2018 24,024 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy The staff in both the hone and seaside Co-ops are pretty good. My favourite is Felix in the seaside one, he's always very cheery and points out when I've got enough credit stacked up not to have to pay for my shopping. The Co-op here doesn't operate that system, which is a shame IMO.
