For me it started when I was…
For me it started when I was interviewed for a store supervisor role when I applied for the local store manager role, they cancelled my managers application because they wanted to force me into a long vacant Supervisor position they had available in another branch. Previously, earlier that year. I had applied for my local branch managers role to be told the store was to be refurbished and made bigger but I could apply for one which was out of my local area? Both times they agreed I was definitely qualified for the manager role and I passed my interview with flying colours? I turned the supervisor role down. Then as a customer I grew to love the hot chocolate with cream but I like, a shake of cinnamon on my hot chocolate, they didn't mind because they had the cinnamon cream latte and had cinnamon readily available. So I became a regular every day having my hot chocolate at £2. Until this weekend I ordered my hot chocolate and went to give the young guy my £2 but he said, before making my drink; "Sorry it's £2.50" I said but on the board up there it says £2 for a hot chocolate. The lad said but it's £0.50p for the cinnamon. I said but you always charge me £2. You're joking surely? I said. (They literally shake the jar once over my hot chocolate there's not enough cinnamon to cover a blue fly's backside) No he said it's £2.00 £2.50 with cinnamon. I said you can forget it then. It's just greed retailers in this recession are just getting too greedy, not happy I'd become a regular and I often had a donut or sausage roll too! But happy to milk me for more. So now Gregg's lost a regular. Out of principal.
