Membership cost increase

[PJ87]

guess you must have lots of time with all the striking causing the country hell crying over your huge wages not being enough whilst the countries struggles.

Just a small point Mr Phillip, Lu haven't been on strike as much as national rail, and our strikes are about pensions not about pay

However another minor point my union hasn't been on strike so been keeping London moving

But hey ? bravo for assuming it's all about you ..

The liklihood is that an Asda worker will get a reasonable discount on their Asda shopping as well as any affiliated businesses.
Not as extensive as NHS etc but.......

A very good point. Normally a good reward aswell as food is a key cost in life

Everyone gets little perks in life (for now) but the blue light system is a nice little thank you

Wouldn't surprise me if it was tax deductible tho.

Mods - can we have this moved back onto membership increases?
Thanks

You said a £10 discount off a £100 membership would be nice. I'm saying if you are paying that for a gym then £10 isn't important to you. If it is then you need to think about your gym choices. An adsa employee isn't spending that on a gym.

No....you said....
£100 a month!!!! If you've got the money to spend a £100 a month on a gym then you don't need a discount. On my salary I can only afford my £22 a month membership. Perhaps the answer to your question is in plain sight ?‍
You tend to not answer the question your are asked. I stated I did not need a discount, nor asked for one.

As a retired school teacher, I saved my money.....I have enough to live comfortably on.

Whatever then mate. I've just read what I wrote in red (in my mind) I've answered the question.

Do you even understand what you’re saying

It’s not about people “working hard” - people don’t get discounts from place because they “work hard” - they get discounts because of the work they do

People who protect, save your life if the occasions arose , people that save lives of everyone , people that try to keep the UK a safer place- that’s why someone people get given discounts - it’s about what they do not how hard they do it

So do I think someone deserves discounts for working a till - no , do I think someone deserves discounts for running into a burning building to save a child - yes

Do YOU think that a cashier who puts up with all kinds of crap (and low pay) deserves something like a gym discount? I do. More so than a fireman in my opinion.

And just to clarify - this is what you said

A cashier deserves a discount more than a fireman @banjofred in your opinion

Unfortunately some people on here did not read your post Ken. £30 is very little increase and you must be pleased. I guess it is a class course if it in Lothians. Hoping to get in The Open @North Berwick next Oct. Usually fills up within 20 mins. Have Musselburgh booked and hoping for The Glen. Played Dunbar a few years ago, great track and a tad long for me

Yep.....and I'll stick by what I said. This fantasy that some workers are "deserving" of special privileges......is wrong.....in my opinion. Quote me on that Phil.....and then you will find something else to argue with me and others about.......

At times.....I'd agree with you.......but not this time.

For what it's worth, I agree with your opinion. What I find disappointing is that other posters seem to be saying is that your views are totally unacceptable. Their thoughts are perfectly tenable, many will agree, but why does that mean yours ( and mine) are intolerable?

The world we live in I suppose. On we go.

I dunno, maybe because the tone is one of utter heartlessness, totally lacking in any empathy whatsoever? Just a thought

Top class tangent, thanks guys

The weather must've been rank rotten for you yesterday

there seems to be a lot of jealousy in this thread about what discounts someone gets when they don’t. Simple answer… do a front line lower paid job and then have access to the discounts available to people working in them sectors.

Does the Asda cashier deserve the same discount if their a hard worker, absolutely not! Does a front line low paid nurse deserve the discount, absolutely!

If the cashier at Asda isn’t happy they can move from job to job with zero public impact as we could go self serve, the little bonuses given to front line staff are good will gestures.

If I was having my nuts scanned but a cashier or health consultant, the results could be completely different ….

You need to sit down and meet a few nurses and paramedics. A lot of them are doing it out of kindness and goodness in of their heart. Paramedics specifically are a special breed are person. They put there skills to good use and they get the bonus of being paid for it. I know countless amounts of them that can leave to the private sector and double their wage. They stay for a reason (and it definitely isn't the money). People just don't like someone getting something they don't.

Not all people are financially driven

Unfortunately this pervades our society these days and is, IMO, at the root of many of the disagreements that divide us and that cause us to support the ‘causes’ (I cannot refer to them in any other way and how they should be) that we do and that are leveraged by others to their own, and not wider societal, ends and benefit.

What did you say? I'm confused.?

It’s not difficult to understand.

Anyway…my point on subs increases was that nobody should think I am getting off lightly if my subs only go up 2% to cover energy costs, compared with someone else paying 5% more. When the actual ££s could be very similar, and if just to cover increases energy costs, the ££s could well be the same. My 2% could well be the same ££s as your 5%, or indeed someone else’s 10%.

Surely the current membership of a club would effect the %%% increase or nett ££££ required.
