Vegas1 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 So, I wonder how many people who have signed the petition have actually bought a copy from him, rather than just merely jumping on the faux outrage bandwagon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheManor Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Most on them that i see selling the big issue are smackheads on drugs and have nothing to be with being homeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit unfair, but I do find that a significant chunk of street beggars actually have a roof over their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodmally Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Most on them that i see selling the big issue are smackheads on drugs and have nothing to be with being homeless. But not him. Yes he is a bit vocal and lively for a Waitrose store. But he is no harm to anyone. I have signed the petition. There are BI sellers that hound and hassle you but I have never felt that with Andy.

Cyclone Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 So, I wonder how many people who have signed the petition have actually bought a copy from him, rather than just merely jumping on the faux outrage bandwagon? I never buy a copy, but I do sometimes buy him an apple or a pork pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milquetoast1 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I never buy a copy, but I do sometimes buy him an apple or a pork pie. When I spoke to him a few years ago he told me he had converted to Islam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattleonard Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Me too. I personally not had a problem However, I have to say that even being a story is just another load of keyboard campaigners. Why all the "outrage" ??? Why even is there a petition for god sake?? Waitrose's land. Waitrose's decision. Yes, it is. But it's really not a problem for Waitrose to be made aware of people's feelings about it. The supermarket received more than 100 complaints from shoppers who claimed that they 'felt forced' to buy a copy. Yes, that says something about some of Waitrose's customers. And Waitrose should be allowed to make a commercial decision about whether they feel that it's appropriate for him to continue. But it might be that their decision shows that there are just as many customers who disagree and it's no problem that their views get communicated to both Waitrose and the customers who have complained.

alchresearch Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I find aggressive selling at supermarket doorways and in shopping centres (or anywhere) irritating. I agree. Morrisons is bad for that over this way - double glazing firms inside the store right after the checkouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattleonard Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 It gives you an idea of where things are at when the Daily Mail seem to be siding with a homeless guy over Waitrose and their customers! ---------- Post added 05-06-2015 at 09:57 ---------- I find aggressive selling at supermarket doorways and in shopping centres (or anywhere) irritating. Aggressive? Perhaps you should call the police if they're being aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
