    11 April 2008

    After a number of years sat at a computer working for myself, I had a midlife crisis and left my comfort zone for new pastures and decided that I wanted part time employment.

    As I had worked for Threshers before in wine and beer sales and being one of the highest selling sales staff, and also one of the highest rated sales people in Yatton scoring 100% in mystery shopper rounds I thought that I would apply for part time employment in one of the branches to a town where I had moved to.

    Despite being one of the highest staff for refusals due to under age people either wanting to purchase alchol or ciggies, in Clevedon branch.

    Despite working in two branches in Clevedon, despite travelling 5 miles a day to Yatton branch where I was mistaken for the manager even though the manager was standing besides me, I have been turned down for employment.

    I shall be forwarding this URL to their head office as I was manager of wine and spirits sales for Spar Clevedon branch until my relationship ended so I had to finish my position, but 5 years of self employment and a fresh start is hard to say well I have sat at a computer for years on end, setting up websites such as this advertising for all the major UK companies earning them thousands of pounds worth of revenue, and then I get turned down for a job that I can do standing on my head.

    Although Threshers has taken a nose dive in most stores simply being a corner shop now with newspapers and wine sales, I feel reasonably insulted.

    As it is near enough 2am I shall finish this tomorrow.
