Pink line
Ahhhh relief! All is well. We have one pink line rather than two. No Shaznee or Jayden. (Looks like I’ll never get my own council flat now.)
I have also resigned from my job at Superdrug. This is partly because I was being Formally Investigated for using a different button on the till for giving staff discount, than the button I should have been using - yes, seriously - and partly because it’s a shit job and I can do much better for myself. I hated working there and don’t know how I stood it so long. Recently I have told customers to stop shouting at me because they are so bloody rude sometimes they upset me. And I’m sick of the stupid people I work alongside, the person called "supervisor" who only works there because it’s the best job he’ll ever have, and knows it, and hates me for it, and can’t even do his job properly. But when you’re so stupidly understaffed you can’t have a decent break, and keep finishing 15 minutes late, and are treated with disrespect from every angle - I’m sorry, but I don’t have to put up with that anymore. I’m off to Prague in a week, and when I return home I will have many options available to me.
More about this later, perhaps.
That is too funny being ‘Formally Investigated’. Some people have wayy too much time on their hands. Reminds me of the time a friend was ‘Formally Investigated’ at Tesco for eating a sweet from a box of Roses that was to be wasted.

And yet the disciplinary system actually means nothing. One girl at work was absent for 3 weeks and didn’t even phone in sick. She got a written warning. My friend Monika said that if she’d been working in Poland, she would have been sacked - and rightly so!

I really laughed when I read what you said about using the wrong button on the till. Brings back memories of my time at Superdrug. I got a formal warning for accidently taking a foreign coin from a customer that looked like a one pound coin (it meant that my till was ‘out’ by £1). They made me feel like such a criminal … like I was trying to defraud them or something.
