I work in a store too, we work so hard but we have to put up with all sorts. The other day some woman tried to pay me with a REALLY old £20 note (with Michael Faraday on the back), when I refused it she tried to make out she got it from the bank and it was 'still legal tender' (yeah right, they went out 8 years ago)! Either she was thick or she was a con artist. We get people like that all the time, I can understand why someone would make a video like this.
i wouldnt reccomend doing this, i nearly got sacked 2day cos of a vid way less bad than this. the regional and store managers look for vids like these and if they recognise u, ur in trouble..still funny though
hahaha i work in a forecourt in sheffield but every1s to mature 2 even try that, how did u get away with it? lol and i love huddle time get paid 2 sit down doin fuck all haha
hahaha i work at the birmingham one on stratford road.. this video made me laugh SO hard.. God i wish i could do half the things you guys did during working hours lol
It's crap. To be honest I'd bloody love to throw stuff at the customers when scanning their goods...
People should stop taking all this stuff so seriously.
I mean people (like me) who worn at Somefield need something to keep them amused during those horrible days spent looking up PLUs, rumbling, "huddle time" and facing off...
lol. I'm not sure who's the biggest loser. The guy who made the shit video, the guy with the stealing comment or the guy that tries to stick up for him. Fuck it, you're all losers.
LOL, I'm not wasting my time making silly videos to pass the time in my dead end job. I'm working in TV, making plenty of cash and seeing the world on an expense account. And then I go back to my flat on the beach with my lovely girlfriend. I wonder what part of that makes me a loser? But seriously, I think you should just keep doing whatever it is you're doing. You'll get to my level in 10-20 years or so.
Too bad you couldn't detect the heavy sarcasm in my posts. Anyways, a little about me. I'm a programmer, making upper six figures a year, have two homes and a lake cabin, and if things stay on schedule... should be able to retire by 40. The frequent flier miles, hotel and car points I've accumulated on my trips for "work" should come in very handy by then as well. The only reason I come onto YouTube is to rile people up. Apparently it works pretty well!
My time working for my local Somerfield was certainly not that fun, it was shit, the pay was shit (£2.39 an hour in 1997, talk about slavery) and the boss was a complete c**t.
I was happy to see the day the place was demolished and a TK Maxx built on top.
I work there atm, its the shittest thing on the planet, full of people who never stop whinging and staff who are up themselves because they're proud of working in a supermarket for 10 years etc.
LOL. True Story. I work in Somerfield and that is what we do basically! Good on you to make this vid! I'll have to make somethings and upload tbh! Good on you :D
I used to work for Somerfield Halesown before it got shut down in June. This is absolutely hilarious and is true to the store, i no longer work for them so I'll say what I think XD
Love this vid, good to see staff can still have a laff now the people at the top seem to want to zap all the fun out of work! We got the same old crappy checkouts too haha!
wow so its not just our store that has those crap ancient checkouts... those things are so old, and bloody useless D: but this made me giggle like a little girl, Im glad im not the only bored somerfield employee
This is my local scumers store and it never has anything you want in stock.Its good to see the store being treated with the respect it deserves. And who cares if you get sacked, tesco's are opening a new store down the road so you can get jobs there and make more videos. Maybe if you got a decent wage things like this would not happen. I say keep loading up these great videos from all the stores untill the company start paying a respectable wage.Anyway keep up the outstanding work chaps.
I loved the video guys! Good on you what is more disgraceful is the way workers in these stores get treated so what do you expect SOMERFIELD. Lesson number 1 never treat workers like 2nd class citizens we get our own back Peace to you boyz!
umm...that is all just stoopid coz today it was on the news...but i must admit it was funny but i think they should get the sack those shop keepers hehe :)
Possibly the best piece of viral advertising so far this year. Kudos to the production company who must be laughing their socks off. Bandwagon slow-news-day reporting at it's best. Somerfield's finest hour.
Someone mentioned that the BBC hasn't anything more important to report - and you've only just fucking noticed?! The Beeb is slack as shit! The "reporters" are sloppy and regularly use the likes of Youtube and Wikipedia as sources for "news" items - and we all pay for their pleasurable existence! Nice gig if you can get it.
I can't recall shopping there but I don't want to shop there if I can help it. Not because of the video content that I know, or at least hope, is fake, but because they employ people who do this kind of thing that destroys the reputation. I hope these people will mature one day as they have to learn that this is not the way to work even if you are only a temp.
And we thought it was only our store that had fun like that! Though can't say I'm gutted to not work there anymore!
Idiotic management ruins the company. We had store managers who would treat us with no respect, then expect us to break our backs for the dogsh*t wages they paid us
i wont ever shop there again, as much as the video is trashy the part where they throw your food around (fruit) at the till is somewhat realistic. congradulations.
That's ffff-ing brilliant!! I used to shop at bummerfields all the time and they kept on pretending to be upmarket but everyone was paid total peanuts and treated like rubbish, you could tell. Anyway, thanks for the vids - brilliant!
lol i know lads who have just been sacked from somerfeild for this type of stuff but hey its upto you guys just 1 thing to say jonnywellys rules youtube and hes a fucking legend
I used to work for somerfield and totaly agree with you that they're just letting the trade pass by. they could be a decent company if they got someone with at least half a brain to run the show! the amount of stupid so called money making decisions they made during my time was unbelievable, they must have wasted millions on that stupid saver card ha ha ha!! morons. Although I did have a lot of fun fucking around like you guys do!
