Unhappy jobsworths

reading fina,s thread on taking him 5 days to tip at tilbury docks.although the docks have all but gone now[apart from container ports].the modern day equivelent to the dockies are the jobworths at regional distribution centers for super markets.arrived at tescos r.d.c one saturday night 7 p.m.booked in for 7-30p.m still waiting at 9 p.m.went had a word in the office and to the fork lift driver.only two lorries waiting to be tipped myself and another lad from the same firm t.d.g. newton aycliff.he got tipped at 10p.m.because i had a word about the booking in time ,they tipped me at half midnight.then out side in the pouring rain ,although the loading bays were empty.although it was only pulling the curtains to open and close them i was soaked by the time i left.you couldnt even use the toilets.i found this attitude common at the majority of r.d.c.that must be part of the job.how to be a total s--t to all lorry drivers.jobworths.
