Primark worker shares trick to pay less for clothes at the till

A TikTok user who used to work in Primark has lifted the lid on what it's like to work there, why you can never find your size, and how to pay less for your items.

Caitlin Sinnett told her followers on the platform: "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 then began to explain how to get money off some items of clothes, Birmingham Live reports. Caitlin 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.'' She continued: ''If you do want to keep that item, you can take it back and you can like get your money back from Primark and you can buy it back at a reduced price from them, like say, it was a button missing.''

Staff get discounts 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.''
