May I add that poundland are not the only ones guilty of this, they are just following many other shops that have been doing it for a while now. think you will find most of your high Street shops are guilty of it, I no of asda and Wilkinson doing it.

Poundland must think the public are stupid,
It’ still workfare, but carefully reworded by Poundland, with a little help from the DWP
Poundland Work Experience Programme
“”In light of the news about the Department of Work and Pensions work experience case, we would like to announce that * WE HAVE BEEN WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH JOBCENTRE PLUS TO LAUNCH OUR OWN WORK EXPERIENCE* for those considering a career in retail

i'm not against the idea of a poundland opening up down there, but i'd also like a guitar/music shop, an indipendant clothes shop and possibly one of them milkshake bar things that blends sweets etc with ice cream and milk (like sblended in liverpool-1) that'd be a massive hit in the summer down there.

In a humiliating blow to Iain Duncan Smith’s mass workfare schemes, charity Sue Ryder have said they will issue a “phased withdrawal” from mandatory DWP workfare programmes.
This announcement came late today after hundreds of people contacted them over the weekend threatening to boycott the charity unless they ended workfare.
The charity state:
“Recent online lobbying using strong and emotive language and making misleading claims about our volunteering practices has presented a risk to our critical work. Equally we need to protect our service users, their families, our supporters and Sue Ryder staff and volunteers from any further distress.
Therefore, we have taken the decision to withdraw from the DWP’s mandatory back-to-work schemes. We do this with a heavy heart as our volunteers, including those on placements, regularly tell us how much they have benefited from their time with us and we are immensely grateful to them for their time
from their time with us and we are immensely grateful to them for their time and dedication. We will undertake a phased withdrawal from the scheme so as not to financially disadvantage any of our volunteers on this type of placement.”

In truth outrage about Sue Ryder’s activities exploded when the charity tried to misrepresent their unpaid workers by referring to them as ‘volunteers’. Many people forced to work at the charity were on the Mandatory Work Activity scheme. Under DWP rules claimants cannot volunteer for this scheme. Sue Ryder also had participants on the Community Action Programme, six months workfare which is anything but ‘voluntary’.
Sue Ryder were the only charity so far to admit they would use sick and disabled workfare staff. In a major blow for the Government’s plans to force sick and disabled claimants to work unpaid

Maybe I could pick up a Subway while I'm there?... or maybe not.

Why don't the people put in these shops just do a crap job at it, like if put in asda, if a customer asks where something is say `we don't sell that sh¡t in here you need to go to morrisons, or just drop everything you go to put on the shelves raftl

You've obviously never shopped in Poundland, it'd be such an improvement on the regular staff you'd be promoted to manager within a week. seeyu
