Im boycotting Morrisons.

Have you read the article? They have health and safety guidelines they must follow, this was classed as in breach of it, he was asked to remove them, as he would have been any other bracelet, wristband, badge, because he works in the preparation of fresh produce.

 

These same rules would apply in any other supermarket or place that prepares food, so you should probably bycott them, even though non of their workers have yet broken their dress code rules, disobeyed a direct request from management, then gone crying to the press because it is an emotive issue.

 

Put it another way, would you feel the same if it was a surgeon who refused to remove a wristband when operating? Or wanted to wear his unwashed help for heroes t-shirt instead of medical scrubs.

A Morrisons spokesman explained that staff were generally prohibited from wearing extra items to prevent objects falling into food products

He said: "It's all about food hygiene. The rules are the same in a restaurant kitchen as they are in a supermarket food preparation area.

 

 Either Morrisons is trying to get out of it, or this is a non-story.

They don't but people are too busy to shout it's PC gone mad, when it isn't, he was wearing prohibited items and refused a direct request to remove them, he should be suspended.

 

The fact it is for an emotive issue and they want to avoid bad press they have donated the money to show they support the Help for Heroes cause, but the guy remains suspended because he broke the rules and should be disciplined.

A petition has been started on Change.org to allow Mr Austin to wear his tribute to Lee Rigby and force Morrisons to make an apology, donating £20,000 to Help For Heroes.

I thought that read as - the petition was to force them to contribute not that they had.

I'm more appalled that this guy felt the need to do this and then make an issue out of it, all because he has friends who have the same job as the bloke who died.

 

It's like me breaking the rules at my job because a Uni student I don't know gets murdered.

People are beginning to belittle this poor mans death just to get abit of news coverage and jump on the bandwagon.

Very sad.

Its a good job the lads who on the whole have less invested in the country but still go and fight for it ,are not sticklers for health and safety .or we would never be able to have won any fookin wars.. seems the only people allowed any freedom of expression are minorities or religious fanatics..sad state of affairs.

Apparently this letter was released yesterday. The incident also took place yesterday. There's no post on Bank Holidays. Furthermore, the post code does not exist. (It's written incorrectly, anyway). Surely they wouldn't get their own postcode wrong and there'd already be a template for lettering on their system?

 

Two different Store Personnel Managers? And that title abbreviated to 'SPM'?

 

Various grammatical errors and spelling mistakes also make me think this is some kind of hoax letter and someone crudely looking for attention. 

 

It just looks unprofessional overall.

Perfectly understandable. Supermarkets have to be extra careful due to all the pathetic H&S crap in place. It's not their choice. Just takes one little error or some eagle eyed particularly cvntish member of the public to take issue and the business gets in big trouble, which all gets laid on the manager whose responsibility it was to follow correct procedure. If you've got any sense in that situation, you follow the procedure regardless of how stupid it is.

Disgrace if true. Not sure what is quite happening with this Country.

A disgrace that he works in food preparation and has been asked to remove extra items of clothing the contravene Health and Safety rules? It's really not a disgrace. He knows the rules and it's the same for everyone who works there. Fact of the matter is he would have had to remove them if they had "Morrison Supermarket is the greatest" plastered all over them. Just because its Help the Heroes and a soldier was recently brutally murder people are getting in a tizz over it. The disgrace is that people are clearly using Lee Rigby's death as a way of getting their 15 minutes of fame.

Possibly. I apologies if he was, because if it is a hoax it is a disgrace.

We should all listen to the voice of experience. Wimpy's has seen it fair share of 'big trouble'. Don't mention the missing, wet floor sign to Moosey, it brings back bad memories.
