Word to the BBC, ridiculous and clearly false stories come out on April 1st, not two weeks later...

Isn't that a typical view of a bar maid these days, mind in selfie mode

Why do you think it is false ? Perhaps not really newsworthy would be nearer the mark

Is ‘Newsbeat’ aimed at kids? I truly hope so, because that reads like it’s pitched at a 9 year old’s reading ability.

Teens and early 20s. It's Radio 1's "news"

"Working 11 hours a day". Bloody part timers.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

The article is pathetic.

Have you posted the wrong link? If not, I don't understand why you'd start a thread on it?

This weekend, she wants customers to treat the store "how you would treat your own home".

If they do, it will probably take even longer to clear up.

"I did a seven-hour shift yesterday and my feet were burning and I started getting dizzy towards the end."

She wouldn't have been much use during the Blitz.

"Becki is working back-to-back 11-hour shifts in a pub in Birmingham over the weekend."

Becki has barely worked for the past few months and has been furloughed and sat at home doing very little while others have been grafting and paying tax to keep her in a non-job...

How on earth is working in a pub a non-job?

I honestly thought we were getting past such classist nonsense.

I must be out of touch - I volunteer for a number of clubs and committees etc. and run the bar when asked.

Do you work in a bar or pub, perhaps in the beleaguered travel industry ?

I think the pandemic has proved where the real jobs are.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

What's wrong with you people?

It seemed a perfectly sensible article to me.

Being someone who works in a shop, it's been difficult. Being called a c unit just because we don't have the stock they want, or that we don't have furniture for them to test that they have been desperate to try. Stop being so ****ing entitled. Also, working in a pub is not a non-job. sitting at a computer all day is a ****ing non-job.

Oh, see above, not exactly rocket science is it?

I can only assume you are the type who has been desperate to get down your local boozer this week.
