I've got my mates dad sacked after 30 years at his job

You must feel really guilty, and deservedly so.

[Dan2nd]

Was he just a shop floor worker or like a manager or something because if he was only a shop floor worker it's not that much of a big deal it's not like he's lost a huge career or anything things may well be tight money wise for a few weeks but if he applys somewhere else he should be able to get a job.

yes - i feel seriously guilty.

he was a general floor guy working in the bakery dept.

gonna have to talk about it to him tomoz, seriously hope he was only joking

It's not all doom and gloom then he can always apply at any of the other super markets the only trouble being they may ask him why he was sacked =[

Here's the thing.

Last Saturday, my birthday; ace. I ask my mates dad if he can get drink he says yeah. So were outside the shop and we tell him what we want, he goes in first for my stuff (we had a big list) and comes back out, we swap money; sorted.

He goes back in again, and he comes out saying "they havnt served me, they've seen my giving it to you" - im like crap. Then he starts like panicing going "there gonna call work" "i've lost my job". (He walked in in his Tesco work clothes). I seriously think its unlikely they will, as they must get this very often.

My mate came round 2 hours ago and said "my dads lost his job" at first I thought he was joking, but now I think he's serious. He found out by walking in on an argument his dad and mum were having, and that they told him not to tell his other brothers. To be blunt, he's the only form of income, 5 of them live in a tiny 2 bedroom house, and now because of me they have no money coming in what so ever.

He's gotta go in tomorrow for something, but this cant be right; can it? You cant loose your job for buying someone drink? He's worked at Tesco's for a solid 30 years, and I dont think hes ever been in trouble before.

I dont know what to do...

Edit: My 666th post. Coincidence, hopefully.

...and this is one example of why under-age drinking is BAD.
on the other hand, i think your mate's dad can get a job at any of the following supermarkets:

• Lidl
• Aldi
• Netto
• Kwik Save
• Londis
• SPAR

basically any gyppo store
