Is it just me or this depot’s shunters just full of miserable people -the office bods’s seem not so bad, but the shunters just stare at you at you like you are psychic - maybe more Clubcard points I dunno, what am I Mystic ■■■■ ing Meg or something ■■? A more miserable bunch of ■■■■■■■ I have not seen in a long time, but knowing that every time I’m in there I just decided,well if you wanna make life difficult for me then guess what I can do that too…

Before all you haters come on, I only go in there from time to time, few times a week maybe, to drop one of their trailers, didn’t know where to drop it, but I don’'t expect to be shouted at & swore at by a complete stranger at work - would you accept that?. How you you like it if I did that to you and you hadn’t even met me before?

So, any other nightmare shunter stories out there, are they exempt from all other legalities at work, or are they exempt and just ‘special’ needs, and just speak ’ very slowly? ’ They will understand eventually I hear. Wonkers.

It’s an epidemic spread across all tesco depots. They hate the job so much they can’t hack it on the road anymore, but can’t do without the money

Before all you haters come on, I only go in there from time to time - once or twice a week - to drop a trailer from another depot and didn’t know where to drop it last time, but I don’'t expect to be shouted at & swore at by a complete stranger at work - would you accept that?.

Oh I do just that believe me.

But Mrs. Agency just says, please do just try to keep the peace if you can. So I said ok that’'s fine with me as long as you are ok with me walking into your office and loudly calling you all the names under the sun at random - then that’s fine with me too. And please do keep me on your books if ok and try not to be slighest bit upset about it.

She said call me if if ever happens again - as she pointed out, the laws have changed recently (which I didn’t know actually) so agency workers are entitled to to the same pay / rights / conditions as employed workers. Wow, now there’'s a thing indeed -does anyone else know this, this is complete news to me■■?

Saw a posting on another forum somewhere, from a ‘friend’ of a Tesco RDC, looking for help on a contract change.

Aparently the pickers now have to pick 206 cases an hour and the loaders have to do 41 pallets an hour, they seem to think this is unfair and is detrimental to their physical and mental wellbeing.

The first response was from a truck driver, basically wanting to know why if its a job and finish day, (like Boxing Day), they unloaded in record time, but they couldn’t do that the rest of the time. The driver also said he could smell some bovine excrement.

So perhaps this could all be having an effect on ‘morale’ :slight_smile:

Most of tesco distribution lot are complete arse holes anyway from managers to warehouse, drivers(shunters being @ the top of the list), job has got to their head & they’ve lost touch with reality. Nothing to do with where in the country you are they are all the same, no wonder why the ship is sinking…
Has anybody nearly been run over by a tesco shunter because they drive so fast & recklessly in their yards?

9

Why is that when you go on a site you must drive at 5 or 10 mph or be fed to the lions but the shunters drive faster than the drivers out on the road

At welham green, what annoys me is the way the shunters seem to all abandon thier motors, go for coffee or stand around chatting, and don’t care that they block the road up

11

Watch what they do if you did the same by blocking the road to open doors backing onto a bay, they go nuts, literally…

12

Couldn’t agree more, they sit on their phones for 10 mins after clocking on, then go flat out at of 30 mph about 5 mins on Terberg for a couple of mins, then just stare at you like you a ■■■■■■■ spaceship who just came into land. Thing is if I were a spaceship… would I land there? Rhymes with shunt. Nice girly in the canteen tho :slight_smile:

13

Maybe it’s cus they’ve heard that their jobs are coming to Reading!!

14

Yes that may be so for weybridge but do the rest of tesco shunters in every other dc have to behave like complete bell ends…?

15

The welsh lads are sound as a pound.

16

Go in ask once where they want it, no response? Just dump it in a gap and do one!! Loverly jubbly Del Boy!
