Friday was excellent apart from shift work went all to pot. My role was to set volunteers away at shop & then pick money tubs up at the end of day. A few volunteers did not turn up. So cancelled my jobs for that day & staid 8.45 till 6. Sat 3 poeple cancelled & i was there 8.45 again. The TESCO staff where EXCELLENT. I had to run to the little boys room & get the security gaurd to look after the buckets of coins. 😱(running the whole show by self) Tomorow wife & son are helping because can not rely on people. Have raised a few quid so far. 😎
 
Very sorry to hear you were let down by your volunteers Hobie :( Good on you for holding the fort! 🙂
 
Sorry to hear you got let down by people Hobie :( Brilliant that you stood in for them, and hope the great British public were generous to you! 🙂
 
Had an excellent time & met some sound people . The Genral public are stars ! The Staff at my TESCO store are amazing & helped me alot, They asked me how i was managing on my own & it was a great comfort knowing i was was supported by nice pepole. Met some lovely people 😎🙂🙂

Hah Hobie - I think recruitment is very slow this year. Just had a call from DUK - as I'm the only person so far to volunteer for our local large Tesco, do I want to be team leader? No I flippin don't. Don't want to commit 3 full days to it and wouldn't do it on my own and certainly don't want to be responsible for a) carting that money home with me 3 nights running, or b) counting and accounting for it - then c) having to take 3 days worth to the bank.

Do they have NO conception of how much thousands of £££ in coin, weighs?

Also the much bigger Tesco, about an extra half a mile in the opposite direction - isn't fully manned 'yet'.

It's a poor show.
