The anonymous confessions were made before the pandemic hit, however they may still ring true for some of the workers today.
One Sainsbury’s worker made a number of revealing secret thoughts known with some sarcastic insight.
Their statements included: “We have to ask you if you want help with packing”, “never ask me if my shift is over soon” and “we know you know what 10 items or less means”.
The worker, who was not named, added pieces of mind such a “no, it’s not free if it doesn’t scan” and “shall I tell off your child for you?” – referring to when a kid is out of control but the parent appears clueless.
Thinking about the difficulty of recalculating items on the go, they asked shoppers to “never say: ‘Oh actually, I’ve got the 3p'”.
They said: “You’re not being helpful because it complicates everything.
“Once we’ve put in the till what you’ve given us, you can’t give us extra because that would mean calculating in our heads what change to give you back.”
A Tesco worker on the other hand also hand a number of brutal comments.
