I applied for a retail position this week in a family business in lordship lane in retail I could not upload my CV on the sight it was advertised so did a cover letter stating I have worked in Liberty's and John Lewis W1 and have excellent customer service and extensive knowledge of the products they sell could I send CV direct.

I had a email asking me my age which is 53 to which I sent, had know reply back

Sadly I had a sudden death the day after and email stating I would not be around for the next 3/4 week's because of this and could I still send CV even if it was for future positions

I had know reply not even to say sorry for your loss.

Am I being to sensitive

What they did not know I have been a customer since they opened in the late 90's going in monthly for my products

    • We didn’t have to contact the council. they took our tree out of our garden and put it in the road themselves for collection.
    • Hopefully their customer service has improved then, as I've had several bad experiences over the years (despite their good reputation!) including fairly recently with a fridge freezer, which after two visits in person to Oxford Street I ended up buying from AO. Their TrustPilot ratings are interesting (I just looked them up).  I know many  people tend to only post when they've received poor service, but even so .... 27% one star ratings is not good.
    • Many people have artificial trees, some people have real trees in pots which they keep from year to year, and some people don't have a tree at all, so the fact that there are fewer trees on the streets than houses doesn't necessarily mean that "the majority of people dispose of theirs responsibly"! Does the council not publicise their requirements anywhere other than on  their website? I never  have a cut tree, but if I did have, I would assume that the council collected them, particularly seeing other trees on the pavement. So I don't think it's necessarily the case that people are being selfish or unneighbourly, though as with anything, some might be. They just may not know that if they don't have a brown garden waste bin, they have to contact the council to arrange collection.
    • A sharps disposal container has been left outside  our house near goose green.   If you or a friend is missing one PM me for exact address. Presumably a contractor collects a full on and delivers replacements.  Better than a keysafe you didnt order!!
