Why do people do this. As some of you may know I work at Morrison's and yesterday was pretty much like Xmas if not worse. From 8:30 am the store was rammed and people filling their trolleys with anything and everything.
I work on the fish counter and I was non-stop serving for 6 hours, maybe a little more. I couldn't keep up. I served pretty much 80% of my Friday customers as they wanted to get their fish and not come in for it today as well as my normal Thursday brigade. lots of new customers coming in through the doors too.
The milk and bread sections were pretty much empty by 3pm and the people coming in as per the norm when they finished work where left disappointed due to no stock available. Obviously they where making complaints. And fair play to them, they wouldn't of known half of Derby waltzing in earlier to demolish the store.
But still, why do people do this? in some way I can see why customers that live out of Derby in the smaller towns and villages etc as they have a higher chance of getting 'snowed in' but most of the people live in Derby or the surrounding areas and its easy to get in. If I and 95% of the staff can make it in I'm sure the customers can too.
oh and the store Deputy GM is on East Midlands today at 6:30 on BBC1. I might of made an appearance
Not sure though as I couldnt work out the camera angle...
