@McDonaldsUK no ice cream in the restaurant today. Little wonder the place is devoid of patrons.

@NikkMager Takes after his daddy

[Benonwine @benonwine]

Gary MacArthur gave 15 years of his life to Sainsbury’s in West Wickham, south-east London.

He wasn’t some troublemaker.

He was the worker who stayed late to make female colleagues feel safer.

The worker who performed CPR on the store’s only security guard after he suffered a suspected stroke.

The worker who had already previously LOST TEETH after being punched by a thief while trying to protect the store.

But after tackling an allegedly aggressive repeat offender known for targeting the branch and stealing bottles of Moët, Bollinger and Veuve Clicquot Sainsbury’s sacked him for gross misconduct.

This was after colleagues screamed there was an “aggressive Champagne thief” in the store.

According to reports, the shoplifter later smashed bottles and hurled them at staff.

Yet Gary MacArthur a man who dedicated 15 years of loyalty, protected colleagues and even helped save a life that same day — was told he should have acted only as a “visual deterrent.”

Absolutely disgusting.

Supermarket workers are being punched, threatened, abused and terrorised by repeat shoplifters on a daily basis… yet the staff who actually step in to protect colleagues and customers are the ones losing their jobs.

Gary MacArthur at Sainsbury’s.
Walker Smith at Waitrose.
Sean Egan at Morrisons.
Gavin Ramsay at Asda.

Decades of loyalty thrown away because they refused to stand by while thieves ran riot.

What kind of country are we becoming where the people trying to protect others lose everything… while the criminals walk straight back out onto the streets?

@CaffynsGroup having great difficulty in getting a response from your #Skoda showroom in Eastbourne. I have emailed several times and they have ignored me.

[Keith King @diabeticguy]

@tobycarvery unacceptable behaviour from the carvery cook. Chaotic scene at the servery and he was bothered that the roast potato tongs were mixed up (dripping / vegetarian) so much so that he was shouting at patrons. #Eastbourne

[Benonwine @benonwine]

SACKED after 17 years… for stopping a thief.

A Waitrose worker in Clapham Junction has lost his job after intervening to stop someone stealing Easter eggs.

Walker Smith, 54, had given 17 years of service only to be shown the door for trying to do the right thing.

No warning. No loyalty. Just gone.

What message does that send to staff and to every other would be shoplifter wanting an easy target.

Do your job… but don’t actually protect the business. Waitrose have ABSOLUTELY no loyalty to their staff they are quite happy to dispense of Loyal partners like yesterdays rubbish.

@McDonaldsUK last week there was no hot drinks. This week there is no milkshakes. #thecrumbles eastbourne.

[Keith King @diabeticguy]

@McDonaldsUK a brand new outlet but they have no hot drinks because they have no milk. They are opposite Asda is it beyond them to go and get some milk ? #Eastbourne
