Maybe he was homeless and was trying to get his life together and make an honest living. Shame on him. |

I bet he wasn't that impressed with your appearance either. Do you think he went home crying to his PC? Grow up. |

Somerfields have a meritocracy policy. If you talk a good job...they assume you do a good job.
Before you complain...we actually apply the same test to our MP's! |

I'd rather that than an employee fresh off the boat that can't even talk the f*ckin' language, yet the employer still puts them in positions where they have to talk and listen. |

Maybe the manager is a meth head as well, you never know. |

That's really messed up. I can understand why you'd be offended but maybe something was going on you aren't aware of.
You can complain to customer service but this person might be trying to get their life back on track and that might make things worse for them.
I definitely wouldn't want someone like that working around my food! |

Take it up with the supermarket manager. |

I hope you said something to the manager. That bloke needs to be told to smarten himself up |
|

eugh who wants someone like that round their food |

dont know much

I think you must be referring to me as I fit the description given.
I would just like to say that I do wash .. in fact I washed on my birthday last month.And as for the uniform being dirty have you seen the price of soap powder in somerfield , even with staff discount I cant afford it on the crappy wages I get and they dont wash the bleeding thing for me.
The scabs are caused by having to be nice to customers like you as I have to bite my lip when you start moaning.
And for your information I am the customer service manager so don't bother coming and asking for the manager to complain about the state of the staff ! |

Ask customer services! They might not know he looks the way he does. |

Tks

Everyone has the right to work somewhere and its not like people are lining up to work a crappy supermarket job. Also how is this guy supposed to get his teeth fixed? He's probably getting crappy pay. |

because supermarkets hire annnnnnnyyyyyybbooooodyyyyyyy
because they treat people like $hit and give them $hit money so they know they won't last long so they always need people, and people always need jobs and they can't get hired anywhere else so they go there |

he was a mess in your eyes..but maybe he was doing the best that he could and thats better than some people do |

Maybe you should lay off the booze for a while. |

This statement: "How can a supermarket allow an employee to come to work in a state like that?" is a MUCH more appropriate question than your original one: "How could a supermarket employ such a person??"
Would you suggest he not have a job at all?
That said, what makes you so sure he is not homeless? I agree that the store should have standards, but you sound a little self-important. Maybe empathy would be more appropriate here than your self-righteous indignation at having to look at a person whose appearance you don't like.
Ever have something really really bad happen to you and then be in public (store or something) and watch everyone go about their day around you and think, "wow, no one even knows the hell I"m living through right now." Well, keep in mind as you judge others that you have no idea what is going on with him. Be decent to others; we can't all be as perfect and important as you! |

i doubt he was hired like that . he was probably hired years ago and didnt look as bad. or he was probably hired by a family member |
