good news, just been in argos and EVERYTHING has been reduced by 40 percent.
-
I have just done a couple and they are in the process of being re tendered so I guess we will all find out soon what is happening. I think Argos are cutting back so the money and frequency of cleans will go down.

My point exactly
-
My mate in Leeds has had the same .
-
Just recieved the letter this morning from Trafford Park advising that from the 1st Sept to only clean the Argos store once a week and reduce the bill by 40% 'due to the current economic climate'!
-
How many times do you do it at the moment Mark?
-
anyone do co operative stores, do they do their own contracting locally or is it national, theres one about 100m from me.
-
Mike G, I currently clean the store twice a week outside and once a week inside, and I haven't asked for a price increase for 2 years either....... >:(
-
i do the same as markeybop .iv had no increase in 8 yrs .i mentioned this to trafford park in a e mail .like said earlier they must b ready to put in a new quote .n paying us 40% less to put in cheaper price
-
Just got the letter. It only applies to those stores which are done twice a week. They are cutting it to one clean per week and reducing the funding by 40%. I am going to accept as it means the same money per hour.
-
Me too, im geting more per hr just doin the 1 clean per week than I was before.....
-
sorry im a bit thick with maths .but if say im doing out side windows of stores for £ 10 , n they want to decrease my wage by 40% how am i better off .
-
Tacky. It works like this.
At the moment £10.00 per clean twice a week equals £20.00 per week they now want just one clean per week for a 40% reduction, so that means the one clean per week is now worth £12.00. So although the amount recieved per week is less than before the money per clean has actually increased.
