I worked at Primark and these are their secrets including why asking staff to check for your size is POINTLESS

A FORMER Primark employee shared the secrets of the budget clothes store including why you should never ask the staff to check in the back for your size.

YouTuber Abi Says spoke about her time working at the store giving customers tips to make the most out of their shopping experience.

First up she warned that you should never ask for an item in a different size if it's not already out on the floor.

Abi said: "If you know Primark you'll know that the workers don't actually look in the warehouse when they say they will for your size.

"Please never ask a Primark worker to look for your size.

"I can assure you that he stock room is boxes on boxes on boxes.

"Not anywhere in the store is a place to go where it blatantly tells you what it is in that box and what the sizes are on the box."

Next up she shared that if you find an item that is damaged or marked, you can get yourself a bit of money off.

She said: "You can take it to the till and if you still want the item then staff can knock 10% off the item for you."

But Abi did warn that only managers can make these deductions so you may have to wait at the till for a while as they try and find someone senior to cut the price.

That's not the only time the staff need to call in the big guns.

Abi explained that they have a "book of faces" and if they spot someone from the book in the store they have to let management know immediately.

She said: "There is a book of faces behind the customer service desk. I had a little look in it and I even noticed a couple of faces.

"I don't know if it's every Primark store but the book of faces basically tells staff that if they see someone who looks like that or that they think is that person, then they will have to go and get a member of management and alert them and then the people will have to be kicked out."

She also revealed that there is no staff discount for people who work in the shop.

Abi said: "Primark workers don't actually get a discount. We only get 10% off at Christmas.

"Which kind of makes sense because when you work at Primark everything's too cheap to give you a discount."
