When moaning about our lot , I’d spare a thought for the poor girls working at the pub we went too for Xmas meal , should of finished at 5 pm & when we left at 6.30 it looked like a bomb had dropped & theplace was still full of ■■■■■■ up drunks who had no intention of going home .
I doubt they were being paid much , but we’re lovely & even though it wasn’t there fault meal was delayed etc , they were lovely , a free round of drinks & a £40 meal credit voucher got a 10/10 on trip advisor from my ■■■■■■■ instruction from her dad
How ever bad we think our lot is there’s was 10x worse , I’d of not stayed as calm as they did
Juddian:
Used to have to work if my shift came round on Christmas night for the Boxing Day papers back in the 80’s, that was weird but in the days of unlimited wagons the night went pretty quick with nothing on the road, part of the job which you knew when you took the job on.
Only worked one Christmas Day since, probably around '95, rental cars had to be delivered to the airports for Christmas morning, 5 hours work paid a full week wages given the bonus on offer for turning in, you couldn’t turn that down, home by 10am anyway.
Same here worked for TNT Newsfast,like you say all depended on your roster, Xmas night in the canteen eating a xmas dinner and New Years Eve waiting for the Big Ben to chime. Thought after my 1st Xmas thats OK home next year WRONG it was a leap year which put me back on again for Xmas
Treble time and double bubble respectively
