The obligatory Health & Safety Course

I have just had an email to say that I am required to attend a 1/2 day manual handling course,  4 hours of my life that I will never get back that is dedicated to lifting a box correctly!  oh well. At least it is half a day out of the store. Has anyone else done this course before? It’s a barrel of laughs!not!!!!!!!!

The Crumpled up Bag

I just want to know if it is just me!  do you get that ‘why me’ feeling when you see an elderly person walk in with a crumpled up carrier/grocery bag?  Experience tells me that the contents inside this bag will contain something that was bought 11months and 29 days ago and will probably be dirty and smelly.  The contents of this bag will then be presented to me with no reciept.  Then the excuse comes!!!

1. I bought this and it has suddenly broke
2. My Wife was using it and………………..
3. I have been reading a website and i can bring this back if…….

Today was one of those days!!   3 members of the carrier/grocery bag patrol came in to visit and made my day!!!
