I take your point Maggy,but when i started work in 1976 manual labour such as these jobs was not looked down upon as it is now,east europeans are finding work as our young do not want to do this type myself i would do this work if that was on offer.
Tesco i believe offer a career average pension to all their employees plus a profit sharing scheme so it would be wrong to say the options are crap people on the shop floor can go up if they wish but only if they have a job in the first place.
I have a friend who works in what you might describe as "low paid low status job" for £6.90 an hour but he gets tax credits to make his money up so is better off then on the dole.
The uk youth would be better off and so would anybody else who looks down their nose at these jobs to respect the people doing what is after all a very necessary job.
I have done low paid work in my past and certainly i am no job snob.
