After 1900 our Tesco local has their doors locked and you have to be let in. Why are people such pricks. I work on the railway and someone threatened to stab me over a £4 ticket the other day. I just fucking hate people.

Crime goes up when desperation levels go up. People are desperate. Agreed, it’s wrong that it puts you in danger, but you are the face of the corporation they are angry at. It’s misdirected anger.

I hope you give your employers an earful for putting you in that vulnerable position.

They’d be told to look for work elsewhere.

But in a less polite manner.

Well if your employer is putting you in danger, that might be a good outcome. You probably have a good employment law case.

Must be a pretty old Tesco to be still going after 123 years!

Create post

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
