Called in there one afternoon and spoke to a guy working there who told me 'John' took it out and had told workers that people were paid to work not to take ****es. Had to take John aside and tell him that he wasn't paying anyone,the toilet paper was going back and he needed to cop himself on. He wasn't a bit embarrassed, actually a bit thick with me, thought he had been doing a great bit of business for the company.

We are all paying for this, but they will probably get away unless one of the employees affected reports them. I hope they will.

Since when did it become mandatory for the public to pay for the needs of others, when we already pay: VAT on goods and services Income tax Stamp duty Road tax Can you all please stop this madness, it is optional and no one is obliged to contribute to a charity.

At the start of lockdown my partner put a note in our elderly neighbour's door saying to text us if she ever needed anything from the shop, pharmacy etc. This lady is a retired GP (in her early 80s I'd guess) lives alone but has nephews and nieces living locally who do her weekly shopping. Anyway, about once a week now for the past few months she's been texting to ask us to get her groceries and bits and pieces. At this stage we must have bought her about 100 euros worth of stuff and never once has she mentioned money and neither have we. My partner has also baked stuff and dropped that to her too. She's all thanks etc but again, no mention of cash for the groceries. Luckily we're both working so it's not that big a deal. I'm prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt in that she might be starting to get forgetful but to never even once mention money? At what point should would you start dropping hints? She's either stingy or losing her marbles.

He lives with his parents, drives his dads old car, his family would buy him clothes and phones etc at Christmas. When at the pub he would only buy blackcurrant dilute and would never buy a round. However, if you offered to buy him a drink he would request a capital Morgan and orange. We only found out recently that he has lunchtime and evening tea routine. He would visit our house on Tuesday and Saturday each week (minimum) for a spot of lunch. Other neighbors have mentioned that he would call to their houses in the evenings, at lunch time or on a Friday night when the house might have a weekly take away. So it seems he has a weekly food rota in place. The man works flex hours so has time for the above. He is also known for his attendance at both funeral masses and receptions both local and far. Furthermore, he also consider himself to be money sensible. He would oftentimes boast about his large bank balance and how he is more well off than other neighbours who might be farmers or business owners.
