Just in (see username) and perhaps I might not be the first, but have read somewhere on my travels today that this firm stated that their managers are not alone at night in their shops because there will also be customers present !! What a rancid bunch of chancers !!!

Absolutely disgusting that someone is expected to manage a shop on their own. Ladcrooks do it as well, it's truly beyond the pale.
betterbet were on the verge of going under and jennings decided to do one of there acts of kindness and took them over as they did in the infamous heathorns saga.
shame they never weighed everyone in properly

Closing the deal shop this week, spent a fortune on it but lasted only 5years
I used to single man an independent- but that was before all the virtual stuff every 2 minutes - seriously cant think of when you could even make a cup of tea now with all the sh1te they show.
Tea no prob., but a long eather kitt>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...
The day the counter gets jumped and the manager is having a sh1te it might teach em.
He would probably get sacked for having a poo during the 14 hour shift

should do it in the morning when he gets up,no way should someone pay for him doing it
My mate manages for Laddies, he is old school and knows evertyhing about all sports not like the insipid people you do see behind the counter who don't know what day of the week it is.
Out of a 8.00 a.m. - 10.00 p.m. day he is allowed a cashier for 5 hours. The rest of the time he is on his own, looking at him he is literally dying a death in what is a busy shop. It's so unfair yet nobody cares about him. The customers love him because he is a professional but that doesn't seem to matter. It's so wrong.

slippyblue..How many bets per day does your mate take in that 16 hour shift ? I take it that he only works 3 days per week with those hours ?
I suppose there are worse jobs, at least if he has his laptop for an occasional punt. Should not be single manning shops taking over 250-300 bets a day imo
Get 'im to get the shop robbed 
.....
It'll become an EVAC shop then !
Two people midday till close !

Not that many really homefortea, say Thursday, Friday, Saturday then 2200 - 2500 which is not that busy with two but on your own most of the time that is a proper few days work. The thing is when he is not taking slips he has to manage the fobt's, they are literally non stop. 6-12 grand in a day is the norm. All has to be counted, own his own. Plus all the debit card movements and all the grief from the Polish and Ukraines.
sendin..I am no fan of single manning (left when it was suggested) but there are too many Betting Shops if you think that 250 bets needs two people for 14 hours !!
Slippy that is too many by far...A proper worker.Tell him to phone in with depression (cannot be diagnosed) and they will be begging him back.
slippy,
you seem to know an awful lot what your mate's job intails yet u wont say what you do,are u one of them guys who makes out they have mates but really are talking about themselves

Home, I was thinking back in the 10am-last race days!!! - Of course factoring in the ridiculous hours now that would be about 15 slips an hour!!!
pauloneil..I do not know who you are or where you have sprung from.I do not like you and will be keeping a careful eye on you.You are a plant and a poor one at that !!
it looks like you will be up rooting him then home for tea
ooh i'm so sorry hft ,i didnt realise the bf forum was for whinging betting shop managers,a bit of advice for u if u dont like your job do something else lifes too short, failing that form a union,lol
Chaps, pauloneil is a retard from chit chat, he has been banned countless of times originally was Stretch Armstrong. Nothing to worry about in the great scheme of things.
slippy,

goggles not sure what rooting means !! pauloneil left the Betting Shop managers game about 12 years ago when the half-wits took over in the head offices.Never was a yes man !! The last shop that I managed takes only 50% of the turnover all these years later.Thank Christ for FOBTS !!
Pauloneil - My old man used to say "If you have nothing to say, say nothing" - you should take that advice on board.
rooting is aussie for something u can do with males or females or both whatever floats your boat
Let me put it this way and I am about to retire to watch highlights of my beloved Widnes beat Wigan (25/1) I will stretch him out if I ever come across him again..
sitc,

End of the day it is an Employers market right now with so few jobs about, most working in the Shops now would love to get out but just cannot. It is mainly the ones who have been with the Firms longer who want out more as it isn't the job they signed up to do - the working hours expanding were the first issue and slowly but surely it has got worse with the situation at Ladbrokes pretty much being the last straw I think, husbands/partners across the land must be pissed off as they are having to go down 30 minutes before the mrs finishes and keep an eye on things as the women are that worried they may get done over - all this about not being allowed to empty machines till after close is some rule as well (they don't get paid after the shop close time I think).
It has become a total joke but the only people who can do anything about this are the Government and they don't give a **** either!
I went in Coral yesterday and put a few Cheltenham bets on - maximum take out was 300 quid yet the lad had to ring them through. He knows his stuff as well but said he just does everything to the petty rules as they have a new Area Manager and he is on top of them for anything. On Friday in another Coral I had 55 on a 11/10 (Kempton Horse) and the lass was on about ringing it through, then I had another - 125 at 4/5 on Rugby points and they rang that through as well - took about 5 minutes. They are all so scared of getting disciplinaries etc... for not following to letter of the law it is pathetic, you would think someone high up would have the nouse that it is not doing anyone anygood to have Staff constantly on their toes over absolutely **** all but all the Bookies seem to love sacking people - it is quite bizarre and pathetic all in all.
Shops are ****ed and everyone knows it, FOBT'S simply all the way now.

I mean in Coral this weekend you have had posters up saying "we will lay any bet to take out 10k" and the commentary in Shop going on about it and they have people phoning up for bets that take that out.
What the hell is going on like.
What the hell is going on like.
My shops figures for last week.
FOBT profit/loss - just short of £9,000
Over the counter p/l - £1,500
That's in a shop that does 3,000 slips a week. Racing is a hinderance for bookies now. - steady stream of mugs willing to pile money into money making FOBTs.
