Opinions please - are you grateful to your employer for offering you work?

Some people are just plain stupid.

Employees have always complained about the employer, joked about customers, clients, suppliers, whoever, but they kept it between themselves.

Publishing it on a website goes way beyond stupidity.

Whilst I agree with Ethel, I can see where some of them are coming from. Some customers just have to be witnessed to be believed. They treat the checkout and shelf-filling staff like scum and speak to them as if they are the lowest of the low, and their supervisors don't treat them much better.

Saying that, there's a woman who works at the cafe at Tesco, Beaumont Leys who told me I couldn't have macaroni cheese with my jacket spud because 'they're two different meals'. I said in that case I would buy them as two separate meals. "You can't do that," she says. "You don't have macaroni cheese with jacket potatoes." Then she wondered why I walked off and left a tray on the counter with our two meals on it already served but not yet paid for. I wonder how she explained that one!

Our store is rapidly replacing staff with Polish employees. I can't blame them after seeing this article.

Blown totally out of proportion.

Almost everyone complains, to some extent about their bosses, jobs, co-workers and in their (and mine) cases- the customers.
