her dad receive dletter aksing to take 40% cut also

[stevieg]

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

[davidpitts]

My mate in Leeds has had the same .

[markybop]

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'!

[Mike_G]

How many times do you do it at the moment Mark?

[seandyer2003]

anyone do co operative stores, do they do their own contracting locally or is it national, theres one about 100m from me.

[markybop]

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.......

[tacky]

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
