Open To Abuse?
20 Answers
Timpsons are offering free dry cleaning for the unemployed for interview outfits.
No vouchers or proof needed, just go in and ask for the deal.
How many do you reckon will take the mickey and abuse it.
I'm unemployed (pensioner) would I be entitled to it?

^^^and the Cynic of the Year Award goes to . . .
Timpson's already have a good record of altruism, such as seeking to employ ex-offenders in their shops. (Or is that just a way of getting free advertising too, PankySmooch?)
I suppose, Caran, that you'd qualify if you genuinely wanted to wear the clothing for an employment interview.

Free advertising it may be,but it's a good offer. Anything is open to some abuse,let's hope not too much on this.

Now I think I think about it, I might have missed out on the deal myself.
Just before Christmas I had a suit dry-cleaned by Timpson's. I had no immediate intention of wearing it but just wanted to have it ready in case I ever needed it at short notice (e.g. if I was to see some interesting part-time work offered and needed to attend an interview). Perhaps I should have waited until the new year and then had it done for free?

>>>I really thought they would have to show proof though
It's actually quite difficult to prove that you're unemployed, Caran. You get a letter (which can be used as such proof) when you first sign on but there's no clear limit to its validity. So someone who gets a job a week after signing on could use the letter many months (or years) later. Whereas someone who remains unemployed for a decade might then find people not accepting the letter as proof of their unemployed status, as it appears to be out of date.
Further, employed people could simply borrow a letter from an unemployed friend.

I'd be useless at fiddling something like that, Caran.....
When MrG took our curtains to the dry cleaners he was chuffed because, without realising, he'd gone on half price for pensioners day.....I felt guilty because although he qualified I didn't......
He rejected my suggestion that we pay half price for one curtain and full price for the other........☺
