The Anti Arty Farty Party …thoughts of an Ageing Hippy Highlander

Bargain of the week!

Saw this in our local “super” market this week and I couldn’t resist…

It got me thinking about how many eejits there were in the chain down to the 17 year old who probably stuck it on the shelf…

• Some fast-​tracked “Graduate” (note the capital — they’re very important people you know) in the Marketing department will have made up a fancy spreadsheet with their “Team” (all in constant BlackBerry contact, of course) …no test to eliminate the above however…that needs brains and common sense — neither required for most degree courses today.

• List is sent to the print fulfilment people (a 3^rd party probably) who upload it to their computer and produce all the shelf cards for the stores automatically…no quality control to eliminate above however…that costs money and we can’t have money being wasted on quality.

• Cards arrive in store and self-​important “Manager” does no check whatsoever before slinging them at said 17 year old and telling them to get on with it…

• Said 17 year old probably has a chuckle to themselves as they stick the pointless card to the shelf under the ‘bargain’ ham…as ordered by the fuckwits above.

Of course, we’re told that Senior Management have to be obscenely rewarded as it’s a competitive market and businesses need to attract “the best” candidates.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa.…..
