She seems content enough, but apparently most people that work there are *******...and the store manager got sacked recently...I think for embezzlement or something.
ETA: Not that that should put you off or anything
My sister also does and they've just screwed her over after promising a transfer to her nearest store when she comes home (she's worked there for 2 years during Uni).
That was just the one store, maybe others actually give a damn...
I've just read your post. It doesn't seem a very nice company to work for. My brother is off sick partly because of the way they work. It doesn't surprise me reading your post. I should warn him to look elsewhere.
I was off for a while and the personel manager refused to pay me, even after the company doctor told her too, as did another private doctor and my GP. She did though pay her own sister full sick pay, after two weeks in a supervisor job because she had headaches. In the end I left because I was never going to see the money again after they closed ranks and altered my files, which I proved in front of the useless union rep.
:eek:
Read this... http://www.ciao.co.uk/Morrison_WM_Supermarkets__Review_5559754
It's an expose written by a former Morrison's employee, makes for alarming reading:eek:
I read that the night I got the application form...
Hmm...
They were the worst employers I have ever had and I went on to work in a call centre so that should tell you something!
Some of this is a load of crap. In all supermarket:
1. Your pin number isn't anywhere on the recepit
2. Only some of the card details are - a couple of the numbers followed by stars (****) so there is no way you can put though another transaction after the customer is gone
I got the impression that she wasn't quite sure exactly HOW the fraud was being committed, so was speculating as to possible methods. Although this particular theory may be inaccurate, there are many, many ways of committing card fraud, hence its prevalence.
Furthermore, the scam she described which involved cancelling part of the sale after it had gone through, then adding a 'cashback' to the total to ensure the balance was unaffected sounded very plausible to me. This would be even easier to do on a 'cash' transaction. I've seen similar things done before, especially when I was a student and worked at a casino. Bar staff would, for example, take orders from a table for 8 drinks, then go back and make up the drinks, but only ring up 2 of them on the till. Then they would deliver the drinks, get the cash from the customer, and give them the appropriate change. There would now be extra money in the till. They would simply continue to do this throughout the evening, keeping a running mental total as they went along, then removing that sum from the till at the end of the night and smuggling it out, concealed in their uniform. During my time in the job, only a couple of staff were ever caught doing this, although I believe the behaviour was rife. One guy was caught after suspicions were raised and CCTV footage was studied. They estimated that he'd stolen approx £25,000 in this fashion. :eek: :eek:
Its absolutely impossible to do. Firstly any items that are cancelled show up on the screen and the receipt like this ****item removed**** Unless the customer is actually blind it would be absolutely impossible to scam them this way. The cashback is also asked for just before the pin is entered and shows up on the screen so if someone was to say no to cashback and the assistant still put it in it would show up just above. Now I know how much of a horrible place Morrisons is, but after working in two of the stores I can honestly say that the vast majority of her account is fabricated. She was stating that it happened like that in a very matter of fact way, but all she had to do was look at the til receipts to see that she's wrong, obviously she didn't do that, and add it to all the other inconsistencies and its blindingly obvious that its fake, or very much hyped up.
no dont worry i work at morrisons and its not as bad as some people make out
Just my experience.
The deli / cooked foods staff at my local store have such an easy job, chatting among themselves oblivious to customers waiting to be served.
And as for the pie / pastry counter, if you don't want anything on the carousel already packed in a bag, the time it takes to get the attention of the assistant to get you one from behind the glass counter it'll be past it's sell by date.
IMO, Morrisons = Easy Money
Your copy has the number with a load of **** in it but the retailers copy has the full number, same everywhere, cant comment on the pin bit though, definately not on the customers copy
The balance on the chip and pin and the till display would show the correct figure as the 5 bottle of spirits at £10 each was scanned then deleted off of the bill only to be replaced with £50 cashback at the end to make the figure correct on the till, this then enabled the till operater to pocket the cash back instead of the cash back going tothe customer as per the norm
Depends what sort of customer you have come to your till, I am a typical bloke, I would go to the till with a load of beer or spirits and pay the amount that I had already worked whilst walking round the shop ie such as 5 bottles of spirits at £9.99 and a case of stella at £4.99 "roughly £55" pay for it coz I am a bloke I wouldn't pay much attention to the reciept, I would probably chuck it on the floor on the way out anyway
As for the cards - the customers' PIN does not show up anywhere. The card number does show up on the receipt that is put into the till, but not the exp date or suchlike. If a till is down (or up for that matter), all operators of that till are subject to a Till Investigation, and if it happens regularly with one specific operator, they are then subject to a disciplinary hearing.
As for the 'distress' stock, I think we're a little too strict over what it is. The ice cream mentioned in the article should definitely not have been put back into the shopfloor freezer, and obviously I cannot say why it was.
It does depend on what department you're on as to whether you can get away without doing anything - the department I used to be on I used to take a book in to read because it was so quiet in the evenings sometime and there was nothing else to do after I had done all I was supposed to, but the dept I'm on now actually requires me to do proper work (and ironically is less money per hour, but I do more hours).
Advice for anybody in any supermarket / shop: Always check your receipt before leaving the building. If cashback was put on by the operator after taking items off the receipt, the Goods Amount and the Cashback Amount are itemised separately in most places.
Sensationalism, pah.
