Renton 17845 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) It's definitely breaking the law in this country, whatever the highly dubious morals. Someone got a criminal record a while back for pocketing a 20 quid note! http://metro.co.uk/2017/02/28/woman-who-found-20-on-the-floor-ended-up-with-a-criminal-record-for-pocketing-it-6477942/ I found 50 quid sticking out of a cash machine a few weeks back. No way of tracking the owner. Partly because I would have been on CCTV, and partly honesty, I handed it in to the shop the cash machine was joined to. Their problem, bet they spent it on a night out like. Edited October 2, 2017 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I thought he was joking tbh. I don't care about the legality but morally it's as bad as theft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their problem, bet they spent it on a night out like. My mate found £50 hanging out of a self service till he was using in Asda. Pocketed it and thought nowt of it. In the same shop getting his lunch a few weeks later he was stopped by police over it as he was leaving. He owned up and said he just did what anyone would do, and that they'd have to follow him to work because he had no money with him. They follow him back to work, forgetting to tell them that the shop he works in is owned by his old man, so had some more explaining to do when they asked why he'd just taken £50 out of the shop till to give to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was something about some kind of universal flu-jab that's close to being successful. So that will keep more of the people who voted for Brexit alive long enough to suffer it.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Absolutely livid. Went to a stage one recruitment day for a job Monday. Had to bullshit an excuse to take half a day in my current job because I work 8-4. They said I passed and that they'd be in touch about the date for stage 2. So they ring me tonight at half 4 wanting me to go tomorrow. Giving me no time whatsoever to arrange time off and the inflexible bastards are doing stage 2 tomorrow only. So I've wasted half a holiday on stage 1 for fuckin nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than phoning in sick I've already made an excuse up for a short notice half day last Monday, something else coming up in the same week when I've just started will set alarm bells ringing. I'd planned to make a funeral up if they'd given me enough notice and just go in late but still do my hours but I can't even arrange that now because it's so late. Bit cuntish of them expecting people to sort something out at the drop of a hat. The conflict Fiah is jeopardising my current job for one I mightn't get.

Alex 30497 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Ah, right. Seems like a stupid approach to recruiting staff like. You should be flexible / reasonable in order to get the right staff. Perhaps you've dodged a bullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
