Hey betfair cant you remove complete lies like "The company's priority at this time is to provide the family, to whom we extend our deepest sympathies, with all the necessary support at this difficult time. We are also providing every required resource to assisting the police in their investigation." (but surely the police should be questioning ladbrokes, dont see many banks single manned do you) this is a company who bar winning customers, there only concern is there FOBTS, they shove young females into single manning (womaning if you like) then they have the bare faced nerve to pretend they care.......... THESE PEOPLE ARE PURE SCUM, never mind, as long as Richard Glynn got his bonus, of course you care ladbrokes !

Possibly got more to do with the removal of bandit screens than single manning? unless he was stabbed out in the shop sticking papers up or filling up slip dispensers.

i bet he felt safe having a smoke next door to a police station
Even if screens are not the issue in this case, all shops should have them. When a manager is there on his own on dark winter nights, the coonts at the top of the tree are settled in in a comfy chair watching television. If you had 5 people in one factory working in unsafe conditions, Health and Safety would go apesh1t. The bastards at the top of this game know they have staff over a barrel, as industrial action in one or two shops will mean fack all, they will just bring in relief staff. It's about time ALL BETTING SHOP STAFF stuck together and said 'You have two weeks to get us screens, or we don't open.' They can't possibly sack them all, and for every one they did sack, there should be an unfair dismissal case. Alternatively, they walk out and claim for constructive dismissal. And people slag off unions ffs. It's the lack of a union that keeps these staff unsafe. |

I was in a will hill today and asked the manager whether it was one man working. It was and I asked him about the absence of screens. He said that head office deemed the town to be safe. Yeh, right, there has murders, rapes etc in the last year.
I was made redundant many, many years ago from my usual job when the company moved to wales and I did not want to go. I had a fair settlement package so I thought I would treat myself and work in a bookies with my first love of horseracing. I started off as a cashier but was quickly promoted to head office. However, when I worked as a cashier before the start of horseracing the manager who was supposed to working with me was always down the pub! But I do not remember being frightened of being on my own. It was different times in those days. I do not think that there was one man working in those days. I would not work in the same shop today on my own. |

When I was a manager, I was there all day. The only time I left the shop was to go to the bank. Mind you, this was in the days before lots of night racing.
Iirc, the only evening meetings were at Alexandra Park in London, and I used to leave the blower on al night for punters to listen to at the letterbox. The law was made by The Home Office that all betting shops should be closed by 6-30 p.m. This means that the big bookies got the law changed to suit them. |

managed for Ladbrokes got out when the evening racing kicked off .now u have the added attraction of dealing with lunatics who have done their brains on the roulette ,smashing machines up etc ,staff are little more than security guards looking after the money, very
rarely go into shops these days cant stand the places tbh.. |

How does a union stop something like this happening? Lack of the death penalty that keeps the public unsafe. |
|

Yep. That's why there's hardly any crime in the United States.

The problem with these rancid firms, is that if the staff do go on strike,they can sack them, and get a retard in to do the job.
Not being disrespectful to the staff but, if all you have to do is put a bet through a till, when placing it or settling it and emptying the FOBT'S.Then anyone can do it... the poor guy who died had been there 15 years i read, i bet he went on a settling course, and knew about betting as well, unlike the staff they employ nowadays. |

More money overnight in the shops now these wretched FOBT's have taken over, and in turn attracting all the vermin that normally hang around those town centre amusement arcades, that nobody can understand how they turn over a profit, but this is because they are often a front for something else. This in turn bound to make them more of a target. Single manning busy shops after 8 o'clock is a disgrace, doesn't matter who you are, you need eyes in the back of your head when you come out from behind the counter. Sh1te wages in the main being paid to those merely in need of a job and with no career ambition whatsoever, working for parasites who in the main don't give a fukc. Over 75% of betting shops these days seem absolute soulless cesspits. RIP indeed.

Have every sympathy with the staff but they do need to get a backbone as they accept everything Head Office throws in their direction.
The District or Area Manager usually decides what shop is safe re single manning which is a ridiculous situation.When I worked for Joe and they asked me to single man I flatly refused and phoned the Health n safety dept of the local council.Chap visited and agreed on my stance, so you then had the situation of me refusing and everyone else as usual bending over,everyone needs to unite. |

Not everyone is gonna' have the balls to go with that though, nortons - Especially younger staff, who of course are fully aware of how disposable they are. When I left Corals, I said to my Area and District Managers that no way should the shop be managed in the evenings by a woman on her own. My deputy at the time was only a 22 year old, and she was asked to act up as manager on my leaving. Within ten days, she got jumped when locking up. Wasn't injured, but was roughed up a bit.

do the bookies CARE about there STAFF?
|
|
By:
single manning and FOBTS no screens was the reason i left Korals got held up twice
now working for train company and they now want to take down the screens, utter madness lots of single manned/womaned stations they answer yes but its ok in LONDON( about 15 staff around min) the fact the BTP are everywhere at the main London stations with guns might help |

YES - that's why union representation is essential. |

It's the lack of a union that keeps these staff unsafe. How does a union stop something like this happening? Lack of the death penalty that keeps the public unsafe. ................................................................................ Proper union representation would ensure the fitting of bandit screens and the cessation of single manning, for a start. Plenty of states in the US have the death penalty and/or 100 year sentences. The same states have mass shootings in schools. clive, you might at least garner a modicum of respect on the forum if you just confessed to being a front man for whichever firm of "booomakers". That and your ultra right views are so painfully obvious. |

A guy leapt the counter in my local shop (fully manned) with a sword last year and made off with the float. He was a druggie, well known locally and is in the clink now.

By:
Why on earth did they take the bandit screens down? Years ago they were there in every shop, but gradually they were taken down, in the interest of profit?
