Hi, I was at a job-interview at your store in Old Swan, in December, in
2010, I think it was. Your director there asked me what I thought about the store, etc. And I explained that in Norway, (where I’ve worked as a store
manager), it wasn’t considered ‘kosher’ for stores, to have sacks of
potatoes, on the floor. (In case liquid would end up on the floor, from somewhere, and make
the food un-clean/conterminated). This wasn’t something I’ve had the idea about, to forbid, in Norway. But the Government there have a department, (called ‘Mattilsynet’ I
think), that check that laws about things like this are being
followed. And the grocery-chain I worked in, (Rimi), trained us staff to follow
these Norwegian laws. So I reackoned it would be ok to mention this breach of the Norwegian
laws/rules, in the interwiew. I saw today that your shop in County Rd., in Liverpool, had the
potatos in a display, (and not on the floor). So I think it looks like you have followed my advice. I haven’t shopped much in that store. But noticed the other week that you had multi-packs of the soft-drink
Dr. Pepper on offer, when I walked past your shop. I have been to that shop a couple of times, in the last days, but I
haven’t been able to find those multi-packs now, so it was only a
product you sold for a limitied periode of time, I guess. I wanted to pay for a packet of crips and a packet of glacier-mints,
in that shop today, with Visa-card. But I had to shop for more than £3, I was told. To use the card. This is only at the 99p. shop, that I’ve heard about a similar rule,
from before. So I wonder if this is right, that you have such a £3 rule, for use of
Visa-cards, in the tills. Also, I then went to grab more food. And found a frozen pizza and a Pepsi multi-pack. The Pepsi multi-pack was leaking. And I told the cashier-woman, who didn’t notice that. There was cola all over the till. I made the cashier aware of this. And she tried to clean it up with a carrier-bag! She should have used some type of paper, I think. Because if you try to clean up cola with plastic, it isn’t going to work. The till isn’t really going to be clean. The cashier-woman told me to get a new multi-pack. (She should have asked someone to get it for me, I think). The next Pepsi multi-pack I found, was also leaking. So I complained to the cashier-woman, that all of them were leaking, it seemed. And a bearded guy, in his 20’s, tried to find a multipack that wasn’t leaking. But I just asked if it was ok if I changed the Pepsi multi-pack with a
7 Up multipack. Since they were the same price. And the bearded Heron-guy said it was ok. I also wonder why I haven’t heard anything after I was at a
job-interview, at Heron Old Swan, between Christmas and New Year, in
2010, (I think it must have been). It was also a bit strange to have a job-interview between Christmas
and New Year I think, as well. And your director, (from around Birmingham or Yorkshire?), told me if
I didn’t mind the type of customers, that lived, in that area, (Old
Swan). I’m from Norway, so I’m not sure if I really understood. But did he mean working class-people? Just some complaints and feedback. Best regards, Erik Ribsskog
