Have all the Dunnes gone the same way?

    Daughter was sixteen Tzardine so up to her to make sure she was paid for hours worked.

    It was a learning experience and she won't be made a mug of again. She was promised a pay rise once she was trained and never got it so she worked for eight euros even on Sundays.She never even got one days holidays.She was trained very well though,it was a good restaurant so she did benefit.

    I don't work for Dunnes and have no loyalty to any supermarket.The staff in the Dunnes I go to are great,one got down on his hands and knees today to look for something.Irish staff are nicer and more pleasant to deal with than Eastern Europeans in my opinion anyway.I want an irish doctor when I am sick too,I am making no apologies for that either,scream racist as much as you like.

    I know loads of young people working in Dunnes,they served me today and seemed pretty happy,no one is forcing them to be there but the pay is good.The hours are too long though,that is the main gripe,the students are being continually rostered for thirty five hours a week,no one can go to college and work those hours.

    What are you out for,did you think I should ring her manager up,is that what you would do.

    Do you think anyone looked out for me when I started work in the big bad world.

    The young person I know working in Dunnes side June has earned at least five thousand euros,thats a nice sum to have when you are in college.

    You get paid per delivery with Deliveroo which means you could work for three hours for and get paid for one delivery,you might be cycling for miles with pizzas on your back.I would prefer to work In Dunnes myself.

    FFS Mary where do you get off.

    When I was that age, I worked Saturdays at a hardwear shop. One day the manager didn't turn up at 0900. I waited till 1030, then went home. At 1200 he phoned to say he was in and to come in. At the end of the day/shift he paid me half saying I should have waited. My Mother was straight down that shop Monday morning and when she got SFA from the manager she wrote to head office. Got the full amount 2 weeks later.

    How else was I to finance my underage pints.

    Because your parents didn't do it for you that's justification for not looking out for your daughter? I feel sorry for her.

    Cornelscourt is a bit misleading in terms of the true miserable Dunnes experience. It's the flagship and a showpiece.

    Patrick Street Cork is the flagship store, isn't it? :confused:
