The things Morrisons staff don’t want you to know according to one employee

A Morrisons worker has revealed what it's really like to work at the supermarket - and the revelations have left people shocked. One anonymous shop worker unearthed some hidden truths people may not know about the store in a tell-all list of confessions. Spilling the beans to Kent Live[1], they revealed there are rules about helping customers and shared things customers should avoid buying.

If a Morrisons worker tells you "we have to take you to the thing you're looking for," what they really mean is "I don't want to accompany you to the right aisle to help find the exact item you're looking for but I have to," according to the staff member. "Sometimes I don't even know where things are - especially the obscure stuff," they added. The employee said if you ask someone at the supermarket to look for something, they don't actually look. "Or if we do we also take a little break in the back.

It's deserved", the retail assistant said. "Working the graveyard shift comes with certain perks. One of them being hiding in the warehouse with your other colleagues." They also admitted to eating food that has accidentally been dropped on the floor. "A box of Celebrations has broken and exploded all over the shop floor?

Oh no... guess that's going somewhere discreet in the warehouse for snack time later," they shared.

They also admitted that "customers are messy", deeming it as "annoying." They said: "No, please, don't worry as I clear up this smashed bottle of red wine from the shop floor. Oh, and you dropped a dog food tin in the next aisle? Cool, don't worry about helping."

They also said that the "worst" customers are the ones "who graze as they shop", adding: "The ones that pick at French sticks and eating half a bag of cookies before they get to the till are absolutely shameless. Then you have to touch the grubby packaging when you put it through the till. Great.

Along the same lines, they claim "everyone hates being on the tills" as "you have to interact with people more and there is nowhere to hide." When it comes to the "worst job known to man," according to this Morrisons worker, it's "facing up and stock rotation." They said: "It's so much easier just to stuff all of the new stuff at the front.

Who cares if it goes out of date before you buy it..." Customers who "try to get to the store at 3.59pm on a Sunday" just make staff "lock the door that little bit faster" and Morrisons staff would allegedly prefer you to say no when asked if they need help with packing. "Huffing never got anyone anywhere and it certainly won't make me scan your shopping faster," the employee added.

"It's just one therapeutic technique us cashiers like to employ when we really can't say what we want to your face. Instead, we'll just smile overtly and make you disappear with our minds." When it comes to implementing challenge 25, they said: "We have to ID you if you look under 25 - because if we don't and you actually are underage, we get fined.

I don't care when your birthday is or how many years you've been on the planet, this is purely self-preservation and admin." If you fancy a nice salad on your lunch break at work, you may want to "stay away from the salad bar" and instead opt for a pre-packaged one, as allegedly: "It's not as fresh as you think." And Morrisons staff "do have to pay for lunch", with the secret spiller sharing: "It's a toss-up between a greasy sausage sandwich from the staff canteen upstairs or the very same meal deal you came in to buy yourself."

"If you hover near me while I'm reducing food, I will go slower", they shared, saying: "Hopefully that 11p off will be worth the extra five minutes of waiting, Sharon." And if you pop into Morrisons "every day", the staff "judge you." "Don't you have anything better to do?

I know I do", they fumed.
