...and Morrisons goes and throws yet another stupid dumb nightshift rule on us poor working folk. I got a bollocking warning from the nightshift manager when he found my bottle of water on the shelf, and told me that no juice is allowed on the shop floor.

...Okay. Since WHEN? Given that his boys repeatedly use the fishmongers ice bar as a cooler for their irn bru I was trying to wrap my head around this logic. Apparently because of the amount of bottles being found half empty on the shop floor without receipts we can't do it anymore - even IF we have the receipts on hand.

This is so stupid - yes people get through 9 hour shifts without liquid in the day, but at night most of them NEED that sugar rush that fizzy liquids give them. I'm not too bad off since I've weaned myself from that addiction, but making us go upstairs to our lockers for our juice is a timeliness NIGHTMARE. This is right up there with the no music rule.

Oh, and to make things worse, some morons broke into the store during a nightshift last week. Snapped off the lock, went through the main warehouse and stole a couple boxes of booze from warehouse 2. So now, the security barrier (originally only used for when removing money or cigarettes) has to be down at all times save deliveries, so that if it happens again, people can't get into warehouse 2. However, this ALSO means that we can't put the used pallets and trays in their collection point, and have to get new trolleys and cages via a small fire exit - which has to be kept shut at all times and doesn't open from the inside, so if you don't tell people you're in there getting them, you could find yourself trapped in a very cold room with no way out. Not only is this irritating, it isn't even effective. Last I check they keep pallets in the main warehouse too - what's protecting them??? Can't they do the smart thing and get a security system that...oh I don't know...WORKS???
