So... It's Bank Holiday Weekend

[AccyLass]

What will you be doing?

Who has to work?
Who's going out?
(Or I can recommend a good off licence lol)
Who's staying in with a good book?


I will not be working tonight but am tomorra night
Fella is working overtime today but has tomorra off
We might go out for the day on Monday but not sure where as would have to be back for 5

[emzy]

Today I am doing nothing and recovering lol (not hung over only tired )

Tomorrow will just be like normal, bit of an asda shop and no other real plans

Just same old for me lol

Unfortunately we are both working,i'm up at 4.30am and doing a nearly 10 hour shift and franks up at 7am and doing a 9 hour shift!
We wren't even told it was a bank holiday and got tricked into working it!
They usually sit down with you about a month in advance and ask you if you want it off and we never got that this time,not happy!
To all who are having a long weekend enjoy!

I work every Bank Hol, not too bad tho as I work evenings

Ya'll have to double check next time, let someone else do it

We have been promised the next one off together but its not the point.
They are supposed to keep you informed of these things and you are entitled to take it off but we felt guilted into doing it because it would leave them with no staff so what else could we do!

Unfortunately the next ones are Xmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day

[Loz]

I know ive just checked!
If they think we are working them then tough!
We worked them last year and the year before and have only taken two off in the time we have worked there compared to some people who take all of them off so they will have to take a running jump!
Sorry maybe i should start a thread entitled Tesco sucks!!
They take and take but never give anything back it just really frustrates you!

Isn't Christmas Day a public holiday, rather than a bank holiday?

I worked Xmas day night last year, they paid me 50 quid for 3 hours and I got my normal wage, opened from 7 til 10

Little en don't go to bed much after 7 anyway, and eldest was fine playing with what she got

Would do it again this year if they thought it worth it last year
