i often shop at waitrose

On the radio earlier they were talking about a shop at a service station but didn't want to say its name, so they said it "rhymes with Gaitrose" instead. Haha, gay-trose.

I'm collecting money for a domestic abuse charity you heartless oval office

Anyway turns out asda isnt the best place to collect for charity. Should've gone to waitrose tbh

Sadly Waitrose will kindly ask you to move along if you aren't one of their three nominated charities for that month. :(

Vitamins posted:

the only thing waitrose is better for is farming looks of derision and hatred from people that make 100x your yearly wage or their husband does

Former JLP partner here (worked in both Waitrose and John Lewis for six years) and can confirm JLP pay really isn't great. Its not rubbish, the yearly bonus helps, but the pay certainly isn't in the highest for retail in the UK. I will say though, if you're going to work in retail JLP's not a bad enterprise to work for.

Don't all supermarkets have that? Because we were one of Asda's

Either way I want to go to waitrose

Honestly I'm not sure. I just remember having some very confused reactions on a few occasions where I was put in the position of having to turn away a charity.

Food banks get donated less food if they collect at waitrose, but more money.

Hmm fours hours of last minute chrismas shopping followd by 2 hours of being stuck in traffic because the council thought digging up the main road in and out of the city was an excellent idea. Office christmas party tonight, a bunch of coders and a free bar what could possibly go wrong?

Make sure you rush your drinking so you get the good stuff. Assuming you're going anywhere that has good stuff and they've included it in the "free" section.

Yeah, it's a fancy pub with very expensive food, and the free bar is just the boss saying 'I will pay the whole tab' like it makes up for never giving a christmas bonus.

I took half a day to go buy guitars

One of your female stall workers gave me a bag and i thought about explaining that I wanted to receive it from you so that I could tell some other people about the experience on the Internet and when I hesitated to take the bag she looked at me like I was absolutely insane so I paid for the sausages and had a pork bap

Star wars in 45 mins. I am actually pretty excited for it too

Maybe I'm completely confused about the concept of this new-fangled Skypamazoo, but isn't the point of an interview on Skype that you can do the interview from home rather than travelling?

john lewis are hilariously backwards when it comes to anything new

my little brother tried to liase with them when they partnered with carphone warehouse and they would not listen to anything, they basically hid the stand in an area of the store where there was zero footfall and refused to advertise anywhere that you could get a mobile. in the end carphone came to them with a big list of things they needed to do for them to sell anything at all and they got all daily mail about it and started going on about tradition and how thats not the way we do things

he recently spoke to the guy who is in charge of selling tablets and tech and he is apparently on ludicrous amounts of antidepressants because his job is to wrestle middle management into the 20th century, ie the last one

In Guernsey. Won't see a Star War until it's out on DVD probably.

It's on at the local "cinema", but I refuse to go because it's such a lovely cinema. So lovely that three of my friends are taking a flight to Jersey tomorrow specifically to watch it in the cinema there.
