Have heard similar type things from different companies. i think they do it to get counter and dispensing staff onto the dispensing courses and so tie them into 3-5 year contracts.

Let's face it the staff aren't going to stay for the fun of the job or the pay!

I worked for an independent this week, I could tell it was an independent because I hadn't worked there for two years but it was all the same staff! Try that trick with a multiple!

When I first went locuming I signed up for a week for Lloyds in Exeter where I used to be manager. I had worked in all of the Exeter shops (4 of them). But I hadn't worked for them for two years, after two years there was only 1 member of staff I knew out of all 4 shops. Everyone else had left!
