Ex-Primark worker says you can get some items cheaper at checkout with easy tip

A Primark employee says shoppers can get their certain items of shopping reduced almost instantly using her knowledge. Primark is known for its low prices and bargain products, but according to the shop worker, you can get some things for even less.

The Primark employee's knowledge will no doubt go down well with people looking to save on their shopping as bills continue to skyrocket. TikTok star @caitlin_sinnett used to work at a Primark in Birmingham.

In a video posted on the social media platform, she shared some pearls of wisdom. She said: "So we probably won't have your size in stock or the item in stock because we hold little to no stock in the shop. We only order the stock that we need. We don't hold stock to send it back.

''Nothing more, nothing less - only what we need. Unless, of course, it's like new styles or new items - but all of those will probably get put straight back out.'' She added: ''If you want to buy an item but find that it's damaged, then you can take it to the till and say it to the person that's serving you, and they will get their supervisor or manager over who will take money off it.

''You get it at a discounted price."

Staff get discount four times a year, she added. She said: ''This is normally at spring, summer, autumn and winter - normally before Christmas, which is usually quite good.

''But you can't get it on sale items. That doesn't mean it won't go through the till - that just means that the employee who is serving you needs to see if it's on sale or not.''
