SAINSBURY'S - Try something new today....

... Yeah like TESCO'S!

Hi all. As you may know, some Students (myself included) have to take up part time occupation to see themselves through university. I have the pleasure of working as a till/ kiosk operator at beloved Sainsbury's.

Over the past few months I have been becoming increasingly miffed off with my employment, and the innept managers that I have the misfortune of working for. This week really stole the show though.

I turned up for work on Wednesday, and I was asked to go and look at the men's public toilets (the cleaner was no where to be seen, and muggin's here is always happy to help). So I went in there, and the urinals were flooding over. Someone had left large buckets beneath the urinals (so obviously someone knew about the problem), but had conveniently forgotten to empty them. So, I carried these large buckets of slightly yellowish water outside, and tipped them down the drains.

Upon my return, in my infinite wisdom, I decided to unscrew the U-bend below the Urinals, so that I could get the buckets under, without having to tip the buckets (as I had done before, tipping some very very dilute wee wee all over the floor). As I unscrewed the first U-bend, it came off slightly quicker than I was expecting, and about 15,000 gallons of less than pure water emptied into the bucket below, only to get splashed back all over me! A true comic moment if ever there was.

I unscrewed the second U-bend, and reported back to my manager (looking AND SMELLING like a drowned rat). I asked if I could go and get a clean shirt from personnel, and she agreed. But what thanks did I get for having people's wee in my eyes? None.

So in closing, I can now say that I have been p*ssed on by Sainsbury's well and truely. So please think of this: Try something new today.... like Tesco's.
