Latest moan from me and you!!!

I agree, but a search clause is probably written in the Curry's employment contract. The trouble is that Unions are weak in the Retail trade and certain large Retail Conglomerates are known to be repressive on staff. The unsaid threat of dismissal also goes a long way to intimidate employees which companies use to a great extent....but would never admit to it.

Customer, employee, etc...........treating anyone disrespectfully when a Manager means you've stopped being a Manager.

Most companies do and set aside rooms for security scanning and searches with Witnesses, they should also keep a record of such scans and searches in order to ensure no one person is searched more times than any other person. Unfortunately, the larger Retail Organisations seem to be belatedly aware of the effect of the Recession on the labour market and how people are still being affected by it and are turning more dictatorial. It's a bit like Fashion the wheel goes around from severe bullying management to more acceptable management and then back to bullying, insensitive, methods.

 

Although I had my rant about bad management the businesses do have their problems. Retail establishments are particularly easy for staff to filch goods from. So they do need to be able to try and control it. It's just that they aren't good at dealing with it properly - there's no excuse.

Shoplifting is a major problem and always has been. Even back in the 1950's/60's, places such as Woolworths (remember them!) were losing 2% of turnover to customer and staff thefts. That's an enormous amount.

Apparently the proportion of losses allocated between 'customers!' and staff has moved considerably towards staff. There's a different situation in city centre big stores where professional shoplifters operate, but the stores have sophisticated and expensive systems to cope with it.

In some sectors the, discreet, searching of staff bags is commonplace and should be non-offensive.

 

We had Female security staff and I insisted that they search me thoroughly every night



Good morning I seem to have met every car driver who comes out of their house to go somewhere but instead of just going down the road and turning round,they insist on doing a 15 point turn in the road ,and causing a tail back of at least 10 cars,or heavens above they could park it the right way the night before

Thank you I feel better now

 

Well, I must admit when I swapped from SWALEC to another company because the "tariff" was cheaper I changed companies on line. But to make sure there were as little mistakes as possible I rang both companies a week later to ensure that all was going well. SWALEC were very good and, before I could ask, told me that my credit with them from a dual energy account was scheduled to be transferred to my Bank Account at the end of the month........and it was.
