| 9th August 2011: Undercover Boss So, tonight Undercover Boss was on Channel 4, and they were looking at PoundWorld. One of the directors went into the stores and was amazed to find staff who didn't want to be there, tiny canteens, people getting penalised for clocking in late, people getting penalised for their till being down, people having to heft stock in dangerous conditions, and their big boss dropping in unexpectedly. Now, I am going to drop a hint. I work at a place that's good with stuff. If you were to Google the phrase good with and just left it there without pressing enter, you'd see who I worked for as the top result. So bosses, listen up! That is not isolated. It's not just at PoundWorld. That is how retail staff feel! We feel undervalued and that we're always replaceable. I've actually been told that. And the guy with glasses but no goatee in the first store is just like me. I recognise myself in him. And when he was interviewed at the end by the undercover boss, he still spoke down to him and crushed his individuality. That's how it is in retail. So, for a while you can watch it 4OD. I'd suggest if you can and if you're someone in retail, especially management, watch it.
