Getting fed up with people that come on here asking if there plumber is doing the job right , wanting 2-3 opinions on if what he is doing is correct or if he is charging to much, Do they ask all these questions if they see a Doctor/Dentist or take there car for a service, Why this sudden distrust of what Trades do, This industry is getting a **** reputation , Screwed on everything we do, Better if we all give it up and did something else, Shelf stacking seems a good alternative. :dots: :angry:

ALDI is offering £10.60 per hour

I have said it before on this forum, and I will say it again, many customers will make the mistake of comparing what your business charges them per hour or day to their own hourly or daily pay.
They will often have no thought to the other costs of your business.
So if you tell a customer who earns £15 per hour, that you need £30 per hour, they assume you are too expensive. They forget that they probably work for a company that has overheads on top of the salary given to them

No Aldi's near to me, Lidl / Tesco/ Morrison's, not bad over £400 a week top it up with Tax credits and whatever else I can get, Less everything it costs B4 I even go out the door + no annoying phone calls at silly times and it looks like I could be better off

And remember in those jobs they have various perks, - discount on any personal shopping there, for example. That means their wages go further. Every little helps, as they say!
It seems to pay to just be in an uneducated, not very difficult job.
