Managers have launched an investigation after they found descriptions of customers as "pikey skanks" on social networking website Facebook.

Dozens of staff contributed to the discussion forum on the page called Waitrose Isn't a Supermarket, It's a State of Mind, where staff were asked to list what annoys them most.

One Manchester worker wrote: "Pikey skanks wait till the last minute, gathered around the reduced-stuff-bin, or the cake shelves etc, to get the cheapest possible stuff."

Another in Brighton added: "There's a gentleman who comes in every Monday who has probably never showered and stinks of p**s. This guy smells so f***ing bad that I could barely open my mouth to breathe or speak to him.

"People like that shud (sic) be shot!"

A staff member at the Finchley store in North London called one woman customer a "dirty old loon". The worker added: "You know, the one who you can smell in Fruit & Veg when she is on the Drinks aisle."

And a Norwich employee wrote: "We have this ridiculously dressed, fat, old woman come in. She's REALLY ugly and wears almost black eye shadow."

Admittedly, not interesting, but the main reason i posted is because the Norwich employee that is in the last paragraph of quoted part is the guy i work with on friday nights

Tell your work mate, I said he is a hero

I'm also surprised Waitrose has Pikey customers, I always thought of Waitrose as one of those unnecessarily expensive places

I dunno how many times I've heard stories about employee's being punished for what they do on Facebook, fair enough, unless you're ridiculously unlucky you can get away with it on a place like say......here, but Facebook? Nah mate

i think there wouldnt have been a problem if he was more general, but the fact that he zero'd in on a particular customer was what did it, some of the customers are reeeght bastards though

theres something in the partnership handbook saying something like, if a partner places the reputation of JLP or its employees in repute the consequences can be a termination of contract
