RE: The Horrors of Kwiksave: The Staff

in The Ink Well4 years ago

Wow, you had to remember the price of every item? Christ, I'd have failed at the first hurdle, my intelligence level is passable but my memory is shot. 😁 Suddenly I have a whole new level of respect for the old Kwik Save workers.

I do remember hating shopping there. Unfortunately where I lived at the time (Handsworth Wood in Birmingham, mid to late 90's) there was one a 5 minute walk away. So that's where we tended to go for the bits and pieces we needed through the week. I mean the staff seemed ok, but I always remember the stores being dirty and shabby looking. I didn't miss them when they went!

Sort:  

It was the shabbiest place around, with all the stuff left inboxes and the clientele were mainly pensioners. A nightmare of a place to work, and emblazoned on my brain!
