If a Morrisons worker tells you "we have to take you to the thing you're looking for," what they really mean is "I don't want to accompany you to the right aisle to help find the exact item you're looking for but I have to,” according to the staff member.
“Sometimes I don't even know where things are - especially the obscure stuff,” they added.

It's deserved", the retail assistant said. "Working the graveyard shift comes with certain perks. One of them being hiding in the warehouse with your other colleagues."
They also admitted to eating food that has accidentally been dropped on the floor. “A box of Celebrations has broken and exploded all over the shop floor? Oh no... guess that's going somewhere discreet in the warehouse for snack time later," they shared.
They also admitted that "customers are messy", deeming it as "annoying." They said: "No, please, don't worry as I clear up this smashed bottle of red wine from the shop floor. Oh, and you dropped a dog food tin in the next aisle?
