Still a lot for a lump of bland tasting meat.

Add some barbecue sauce.

I expect your boss already knew this and didn’t need you to tell them.

Which is actually really cheap for a turkey.

That's nothing. I asked one of the bosses about it today and he said that another shop was selling one for over seventy quid!

Just in case they weren't aware of what was coming into their store?

I bet your boss looks forward to the daily briefing you provide on all the things you think is wrong with the place....

Lol. GM exit plan for xmas was complete 10 days ago and all replaced on power aisle before xmas close! Retail is always about the 'next big event' , Easter roll out now, summer goes out in april, back to school in july, Christmas in September etc etc, with small relays for valentines/ halloween etc.

Placing actual orders may be out of their control but they'll know what's coming in.

Christmas Eve has long gone now. I’ll close this thread and look forward to the same one in 2023. It’s becoming a bit of an OcUK tradition now.
