[QUOTE="melted welly, post: 8202370, member: 37168"] A friend organises casual labour to work on farms, packers, factories etc. He is having a difficult time as a lot of the guys only want to work 3 or 4 days a week now, and occasionally only one, plus he’s plagued with no-shows. He was in town one day and met a chap who’d called in sick that morning walking down the high street with bags of shopping. When he collared the chap, he was told he couldn’t work that day as it was food bank day and he’d been up to collect his “shopping”. The crafty beggars will work a short week then head up the food bank waving their payslip for a days work that week and make on that’s all they earn, then come away with food for the week. Is it a form of wealth redistribution? Feels like old fashioned taking the pee. [/QUOTE]
