I could drive all day, pay for petrol contactless and put no-one at any more risk than if I stay at home. Add in that I've got to go to supermarkets and work anyway, and it doesn't make a jot of sense. go ahead then and ignore the government advice and the pleading of NHS staff.

I guess that would have taken the sting out of my annoyance although when the summers over, I think we're heading back to Blighty. Struggling to cope with this land.

Tyler Durden Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 4 hours ago, uttoxram75 said: Aldi's modus operandi is to take the market leader brand and ask another manufacturer if they can match it at a fraction of the price. Often we pay for the brand, so Aldi can get something very similar made for far less and take a smaller profit margin. I'm in charge of a factory that makes Aldi crisps, mixed case products. Will let you guess which company it is. I have staff working for me on this process whom were made redundant by Pepsico, they reliably tell me that the potatoes and seasoning we use are exactly the same standard as they use in Walkers crisps but Aldi sell their products at a fraction of the price. Have been making this product for nearly a year now, in terms of complaints from Aldi customers regards product quality it is virtually zero. People aren't prepared to pay premium prices anymore when they can get an equivalent or slightly inferior product for a lot, lot less elsewhere.

Wolfie20 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The problem when venturing outside your front door isn't as simple as you ensuring you stay well clear of others. It's impossible to predict the actions of people who may not have the same safety awareness as you so why take any risks when it's obviously not necessary - potentially you're playing with the health and well-being of everyone else in your household. Before the current advice and restrictions were in place I went into a local shop for some basic provisions to see us through to the next week and some old codger I've never see before put his hand on my shoulder, as if to say 'don't worry - it'll be alright'. That's bloody scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm happy to follow the officials guidance but dont see too much wrong with what @Needlesh is saying. If the situation is that bad close down all workplaces and enforce full lockdown surely? There's a lot of double standards that's for sure. I'm in charge of a food manufacturing facility which is business as usual. Directive from head office is to make some mitigation by staff working from home if possible, staggering breaks so that the staff canteen isnt rammed with staff at the same time and allow staff to leave 15 mins early at the end of their shift so they're not coming into contact with the incoming workers. There are however staff working on packing lines in close proximity whom definitely aren't outside the 2m exclusion zone. At the moment there is no practicable solution to solve this other than close production lines down. Is this to be condoned but driving to a rural location to take a walk is frowned upon? Make your own minds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
