That Boots closure : Employees Questions Answered.

Q: I’ve worked at the Boots factory for 20 years. What am I going to do now?

A: Losing your job is a stressful experience, you may want to boost your intake of vitamins to help your immune system deal with the shock. Luckily, your local Boots store carries an extensive range of vitamin and dietary supplements.

Q: Where am I going to get the money for vitamins if I don’t have a job?

A: Research tells us that good grooming is essential when you’re looking for a new job. Why not try a Boots facial scrub so that your skin really glows for that all important interview?

Q: Look, this is no good at all, I’m tearing my hair out here with worry.

A: There’s no need to worry! All Boots stores have a range of restorative hair care products that can help alleviate hair loss.

Q: Isn’t it the case that the Airdrie plant is being thrown to the wolves to cover up for bad management at Boots head office?

A: Bad management is a thing of the past when you buy a calculator from our office supply range!

Q: Isn’t it the case that production at Airdrie ran at record levels for two years simply to hoard cosmetic stocks in anticipation of the closure?

A: Quite right! We’ve got plentiful supplies of cosmetics in store right now!

Q: Oh Christ! What Iam going to do? I’m feeling so depressed.

A: No need to feel depressed, not when our in-store pharmacist is on hand to offer medical advice.

Q: Oh well, I suppose I could use my staff discount to buy some drugs.

A: Well, you could, but you’d better hurry up because you’re not going to be an employee much longer.

Inside: Another answer: Get The STUC to call on its members to boycott Boots products….
