Who the **** goes shopping on new years day??
Not me! On the only NYD I worked it was dead all day - just got sales in sausages, bacon, bread, eggs and other full English breakfast items.
Think HQ said as it’s a Saturday.
It makes no difference as retired, never work and those jammy sods who never work between Xmas Eve to 2nd Jan (give/take a day - depending on when they fall in the week) forget what day of the week it is.
Even in my previous jobs, I had to attend the those days in between Xmas and NYD if the place wasn’t closed and not on days off. For example- this year it would be 29-31 Dec. One place I worked, head office was in Scotland so even had 2nd Jan off even I worked in their Leeds office!!!
