Does seeing staff stood smoking outside shops put you off going in?
I see this almost everyday outside Somerfield and often outside Iceland too. Not only does it look completely unprofessional but it gives a bad impression to customers.

.
Yes it does
Also the smell that remains on them after smoking and do they wash their hands?!!!!!-horrible
-
At Johnsons the cleaners, they smoke at the rear , just what you want in a Dry Cleaners !!
-
I work in Marple myself, and all the staff are asked to smoke out of view of customers. Other shops should do the same.
-
Ban smoking outside in all areas :)

For the last couple of years I have seen staff smoking outside Somerfield many many times and think it looks dreadful, especially when there are 2 or 3 of them doing it. :o But it only struck me this afternoon that it is also a petrol station, with signs up asking people not to smoke! :o :o :o

The amount of people who leave their children in a car whilst they go in and pay for their petrol astounds me, its just dangerous .
just thinking out loud

I was trying to work that out too,Stockport Road, isnt it more unsafe to have them on the garage forecourt than in the car. Its a bit like saying dont leave a adult in the car.

You are right PP very dangerous.someone could drive off with them.Depending on the time it takes to pay for your fuel the car could be several miles away!

Well do what u are meant to do, and lock the car while u are paying for your fuel (or is that to easy).

As soon as I read the first reaction to my posting , I realised that it had the potential to turn into a bun fight, reason being why I have not elaborated on my post and give my reasons as to why I wouldnt .
Bun fights on here seem common place of late, and I just dont want to go there, so I shall leave it at that , people will, and can do what they think is right for thier children, and I will do what I think is right for mine .
No offence to anyone , I should have asked admin to delete it, it was off subject anyway.

The length of time it takes to pay for petrol in Somerfield the kids could have held their 21st birthday parties in the car!
If your children are properly trained and you don't leave the keys in the (locked) car there would not seem to be a problem. If they aren't properly trained then they shouldn't be left off the leash anywhere.
(And yes, I probably have more experience with children than most of you have had hot dinners. I know from whence I speak!)

Probably it is - the same as pubs having outdoor smoking areas

It doesn't bother me. If they can't have a quick smoke outside the shop, where can they go?

thank god for that some one who talks sense

Many years ago, my wife left our children in the car, went in to pay for petrol.
A very polite lady decided to drive her car into the side of our car, and move a petrol pump at the same time. It was an automatic, she blamed the car !
Fluke, yes, but very scary, kids in car with petrol abound.

How about smoking out sight of customers or not smoking at all?
