Evans Cycles

Calling people out as snowflakes in response to criticism = MEGA is Mamnick!

None of them knew what Swarfega was.

Neither do I until you point it out.

I can smell the sweet orange nectar just thinking about it

None of them knew what Swarfega was

Why would they? Why would the majority of people?

I also thought everybody knows what swarfega is 🤷🏼‍♀️

Because they've at least once in their lives looked up how to clean grease off their hands?

Cooking Oil?

They probably have the same stuff in their workshop but are just too ignorant or green to notice what it is. Yes, used it before, the orange one, super effective.

Fuck the orange one, it’s all about original flavour

Just add sugar to washing up liquid

Beat me to it!

Many a beaten up old Ford Capri's oil and grease has been cleaned off my hands with this

Just add sugar to washing up liquid

Or coffee grounds (used ones preferably).

Or salt - cheaper and less sticky

what @coventry_eagle said. Most don't. Shop floor staff rarely touch grease. Let alone your regular joe.
We're on a bike forum discussing cleaning greasy hands, obviously we're gonna know.

What else have we got to occupy our time on NYE?

We can discuss inverse shims if anyone is up for it.

Didn't they determine that Swarfega was carcinogenic a few years back?

Shimano grease I think

Shop floor staff rarely touch grease.

Exactly, and rarely sell them, unless you're at a Halfords.

It's a little on the snobbery side to claim they're idiot for not knowing what Swarfega is.

Haha, that instagram is great!
Shop staff have access to Insta, they sent out a email telling us to make one for each store, but send them the password etc.
But props to this guy for calling Evans out for their bullshit management finally someone had the balls to do it, I'm so glad I walked out of there.

Evans are fucked. Owned for years by venture capitalists and now by Sports Direct, they’ve played the usual game of shit wages/zero hours to staff, leading to zero staff loyalty and rampant theft throughout the company. Selling shite like Schwinn is another nail in the coffin.
And good fucking riddance. After years of undercutting all the IDB’s, it’s payback time.

It's a little on the snobbery side to claim they're idiot for not knowing what Swarfega is.

I Disagree. After visiting Evans, I went to Robert Dyas, a very general DIY sore, and the shop assistant there knew immediately what I was talking about. It's an entry level thing.

Still a bit snobbery when you’re calling them out for not having the green hand wash.

Instead, maybe call out the actual company out who keep fucking their staff over.

Yeah anyone with a bit of knowledge thats works in anything where grease and stuff is involved would know about swarfega

But then again, Evans does hire people with no knowledge whatsoever
