My Sainsburys delivery was coming between 10.00 and 11.00 this morning. At 9.58 I realised I was still in my jimjams so rushed upstairs for the quickest shower in the history of quick showers.
By 10.08 I was showered, teeth cleaned, and dressed. Delivery arrived about five minutes later. I'd completely forgotten it was a Bank Holiday when I placed my order. I asked the young lad doing the delivery if he was getting double pay. He said he didn't think so.
I've completed my jigsaw (one piece missing), done some prep on a short reflective piece for Zac's tomorrow evening, and toyed with going to do some gardening but deterred by the rain.
When my delivery came the other day, I said to the lad, 'You're early.' He looked at me strangely and showed me his watch. He wasn't early - I'd misread the time.
ReplyDeleteThe delivery man should get time and a half at least for working the holiday. My son works retail and his union makes sure of it.
ReplyDeleteNo extra pay for working a holiday? That stinks
ReplyDeleteThere are many workers today without the benefits afforded by a union!
