  • Unless she knows something we don't!

    Unbelievable!

  • Messi on a Madrid shirt? wtf
  • Having worked in a Sports Direct and knowing the kind of managers they have there (and it is usually the managers that do the printing), I'm not surprised
  • Didn't know they had these shops in Spain!
  • You've got to hand it to Mourinho....
  • One of my favourite bands back in the day......

    NathanPrior must have found work.
  • Do you mean they couldn't or they wouldn't? Only I know that when my brother went to get a Charlton shirt with my 6-year-old nephew's name on it they said they advise against putting a childs name on a shirt as it becomes to easy for strangers to approach the child and pretend to be a friend of the family'e as they know the childs name.

  • She would only put Messi on the back,no other names at all!

    I knew I would get a mention, but no, I have not
  • Having been a supervisor at sports direct that does not surprise me. Some of the staff literally need to be spoon fed. Luckily for me I left there to bigger and better things (retail door closes)

    Well....I hope she lost the sale!
  • She did!
  • Very few shops get it right in some you can't find an assistant for love nor money in others they pester the life out of you until you get pissed off and leave. I haven't been in our so called "Superstore" recently but a couple of Christmases ago I was trying to buy an away kit for my grandson when I went in I felt like I was totally bothering them. Hopeless.
  • rule of thumb .. if the service/assistant is crap then so is the product
  • My son returned a rather useless bubble machine to Maplins the other day. They offered him a replacement, but he asked if he could see the new one working in the shop first. When they turned it on, it was just as bad as the original. The store manager’s comment: "Oh well, I guess they must all be a bit rubbish then". What was that say about their quality control and purchasing processes?

    Recruiting happy people on low wages must be very difficult.

    in my local Tesco all new recruits are work placements, on NO wages .. the take up level is high as a refusal means a possible if not probable loss of benefit .. these unpaid quasi-slaves are often more helpful than the old tesco lags who are getting a bit shop soiled if you know what I mean. One young lady I chatted to has not long left the RAF where she served as a field medic in Afghanistan. She's worked before as a HCA in the NHS but of course the NHS is not recruiting due to the decrease in funding. Her reward is to be pushed along to tesco to work on no wages with the possibility of a job, probably part time to save Tesco's National Insurance costs, after her 8 weeks free labour.

     It is simply a disgrace that companies such as Tesco, Sainsbury, Morrison and most of the multi multi million profit making big chains are given slave labour by the government to disguise the unemployment figures. A pox on our so called politicians .. all of them are useless motherf***ers,  helpless to change anything and in need a dose of reality.. let them work long shifts behind a till or stacking beans on shelves for no pay and see how they get on
