In a survey I was completing today there was a question asking me to list three companies that I hate and I'd avoid using/buying if at all possible.
I could only think of one: Ryanair. I've never actually used them, but the whole experience generally sounds so ghastly, I'd try my hardest to use anyone else possible.
What company(s) would make your list?
There are much worse sponsors from CPFC2010TDK
Virgin
Churchill insurance
yes it is - don’t know what came over me!Isn't that Jim Ratcliffe ?
Oh yeah, the big Sainsbury's near me has brought that bullshit in.Apple obviously,
Wetherspoons
Iceland (run by Tory MP wannabe, who before "outing" himself has spent the last few years defending the Government in appearances on TV )
ASDA - (simply out of fear)
Ryanair - who are appalling @Bozza. Never again.
.. and seriously now considering Sainsburys since they've rolled out new anti theft measures in my local store.
You are forced to print a receipt and scan it to let be out of the store.
This will definitely get challenged in court soon.Oh yeah, the big Sainsbury's near me has brought that bullshit in.
Not sure how it's meant to check that what I'm carrying bears any relation to what's on the receipt.
Having tills where people can pay helps. There were only three manned tills in the local Sainsbury's with all the others either for scanned shopping or self service tills.This will definitely get challenged in court soon.
Those barriers, when used to prevent your exit from the shop, are classed as mechanical restraints. In the same category as handcuffs.
The arbitrary use of mechanical restraints by a supermarket with absolutely zero evidence for suspicion of theft would not hold up in court. And I’m certain would be ruled unlawful.
If you request to be given back your liberty and released from restraint, I’m sure the supermarket would be obliged to free you. In fact you’d have a very strong case for unlawful imprisonment.
I also object to the generating of millions of paper receipts a day. Totally unnecessary carbon use.
If supermarkets want to reduce theft, charge less for their produce, hire half competent security staff and pay them well.
Not some shirt filler who got off the boat yesterday in an ill fitting, hi-viz tac vest who stands at the door staring into the middle distance while the shop is robbed blind.
