I must try to ignite a passion for photography within you. ^_^
Mmm, there's a horribly long list of High Street names involved in that abomination. Of the supermarkets, my recollection is that it's roughly:
ASDA: wholly involved Tesco: wholly involved Morrisons: involved to some degree, hopefully not as badly as ASDA and Tesco Sainsbury: were involved, possibly now withdrawn M&S: somewhat involved, though not to the above extremes Waitrose: not involved Co-op: not involved
It's difficult, as the companies involved aren't overly forthcoming (how odd!), and their PR depts know how to spin "opportunities" that are actually just jobs being paid for by the government (as in, the govt pays the company to take on a Workfare wage slave, as well as the sub-minimum wage involved. After all, Tesco and ASDA need all the help they can get, if they're possibly to survive on the odd billion profit), thereby removing the option of a genuinely paid job from the marketplace. Johnnyvoid and BoycottWorkfare manage a pretty good job of tracking them, all the same.
I hope this doesn't sound sour - I don't mean to cast a shadow. *hug*
