1- Thankfully I'm retired, but during my working life the Jobcentre used to send me to apply for jobs.
Once they sent me to apply as an assistant in a convenience store, so I happily went in for interview.
But I took one look at the booze, cigarettes and porn mags on the shelves and decided I didn't want to handle that stuff, so I made my excuses and walked straight back out.
It got me in hot water with the Jobcentre but I didn't care.
What would forum members have done in my situation?
2- Another time, the Jobcentre sent me and other people on a "work for your dole" scheme refurbishing a local Hindu temple, but I refused pointblank to go, and got my dole temporarily cut as a punishment.
Again, what would forum members have done in that situation?
