Aldi don't employ 'cashiers'. They employ staff! They are expected to do all of the jobs in the store - including putting deliveries on shelves, cleaning [no overnight cleaners for these guys], and all the other jobs that need to be done. You really should go visit one of these stores - there will be one close to any large-ish housing area - and it will open your eyes. Who knows, you may even get to the till eventually

I agree to an extent... BUT, I like the convenience of one stop shopping, with free parking. However, I miss getting quality fresh meat from a local butcher, and on the rare occasion that I find one these days, I've found them to be MUCH more expensive

Aldi are similar to Lidl - they were both set up by German brothers to rival each other - and have very similar working practices - surely you can't have missed the yellow price cards Since I worked as an area manager for Lidl, I can assure you that the guys and gals that work for these companies work very hard! But that is down to the 'model' of these shops which allows them to sell there goods cheaper. If you think that Tesco use and abuse their staff, then you really should experience how these guys operate!!

But it seems you're happy to compare wages between Aldi and Tesco's. Both stores have VERY different working practices, and I guess the higher wage at Aldi is because of the work they have to do.

Do you mean apart from taking Mrs H to work?

They advertise how much they will pay. They confirm how much will be paid at interview / job offer. People will either accept the offer or not. I imagine they pay lower rates for lower skilled staff, can't really blame them for paying staff the 'going' rate can we? At the end of the day, the [labour] Government has set what they deem to be an acceptable minimum rate of pay...

It'll never work. Halfords / various other cycle shops will be made up though

Never works. Does he have a fit brother you could go out with instead?

Why are you still in bed at 10.30 in the morning?

RESULT for them, as it's a lot cheaper than the £5000 fine they could have got from trading standards for the incorrect pricing

Maybe they're hoping that while we may not escape the drop, someone else - above us - might declare administration and then take the ten point hit, thus relegating them and saving us :smt102 That way we avoid the drop without having to play very well....

Jonah, will you hurry up and answer, I'm biting my fingernails off here waiting for the answer

Our food delivery driver is a Leeds fan, so three times a week I get to talk about how sh1t Leeds are

Looks like the story has been pulled http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/03/26/exclusive-dna-tests-show-boy-dad-alfie-patten-is-not-the-daddy-115875-21227974/

So, of all the credit agreements signed prior to April 2007 - probably millions of them I'd have thought - what is CI's best estimation [and I'm sure they can't say with any certainty, but a guesstimate would be nice], as to the percentage of those agreements which are unenforceable? Is it 1%, or closer to 75% :smt102

Would you need to contact Fuji? I'm guessing it's not something you can DIY :smt102

What's your number?

That I agree with 100%. Never judge a book by its cover, but with Lowe he has already PROVED beyond any reasonable doubt that he is not capable of running a business such as SFC. Mistake followed by mistake! As for the future, well who knows? So many uncertainties that we will never know the answer to.

Was 'Bubba' in there with you :shock:

Are you sure she's pregnant?

I'm just gonna take the absence of you not producing any of my quotes as confirmation that you do have me confused with someone else. I'll not hold my breath for an apology though, as I very much doubt I'll get one

Here's a novel one, how about we play him and see if he can score some of the hundreds of chances we've created this season...

The picture is pretty ropey, and the sound a bit 'tinny', but this is a cool version of a classic...
