Reply to: John Lewis Bonus Culture

[doodab]

JL is, IMO, an object lesson in retail done right and how to run a business. Not the cheapest but good value, I have never bought something from John Lewis, got it home and thought "my god, this is a piece of crap" and I've often had some fantastic bargains in their sales. They treat their staff well, and it says something that they are growing while high street shops are closing down left, right and centre, and also that Waitrose haven't been dragged into this whole horsemeat business.

Are you a project manager by any chance?

Just for the craic, a silly date since we never did this for the wedding (we just asked for cash).

Better quality than M&S

M&S is not far from Primark, imho. They used have some good stuff before 2006, but not anymore.

You buy undercrackers at JL? How posh!

The wife and I have joked (well I joke and she tries not to look irritated) about going to JL to set up a wedding list.

Maybe I'll take someone else.

You get a voucher for free tea and cakes, well worth it.

And to point a little laser at things...

Surely this oeufert display of eggcellence will crack under the eggceptionally eggaggerted claims of eggcessive profit?

Sounds like they are fixing the Omlette rate..

Burn them

Too good for them!

The flash bastards can afford mushrooms in their omelettes now. A disgusting kick in the teeth for ordinary working folk like ourselves.

Hard working families can't afford mushrooms. These fatcats clearly can.

I've had an oeuf of this.

That doesn't really work does it.

I thought it was good

It's morally wrong that JL is pushing fondant fancies down the throats of the public like this. Soon they'll be selling them to kids and be expecting school to teach kids that it's not only acceptable but somehow normal to have a fondant fancy. If two consenting adults enjoy a bit of fondant fancy at home then ok but it's really not acceptable in good public society now is it.

pinko leftie scum.

You're hired!

It's time to make a stand against these fat cats. I shall be returning a skillet purchased in 2001 and three pairs (used) of Mr Z's undercrackers.

It's the only way they'll learn.

Used AND unwashed I hope!

And not just omelettes. They also do afternoon tea with a vast choice of made on the premises cakes and fondant fancies.

Disgusting if you ask me...

Horrendous bonus culture at John Lewis. Employees getting bonuses. Horrendous.

Needs curbing. Target the buggers or the world will end. Preferably a law brought in by the EU. Or higher.

Blah.

John Lewis is employee owned, right?
