Pret: Just be thankful...

Thankful though I am to be allowed to nest in the corner of Pret a Manger eating Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar hand cooked crisps and drinking Americanos, one thing the JobHungryGrad is very grateful for is not having to work at Pret.

Here is some insane job related information about Pret:


  • Apparently Pret employs 1 in 14 applicants, which is an insanely small number. 
  • Pret employees have to demonstrate that they are 'inwardly happy with themselves'. 
  • Mystery shoppers use Pret once a week. When I worked at a very well known restaurant chain we were threatened with mystery shoppers all the time but we never got one once, because we never had any feedback from them.
Nobody who works at Pret can be inwardly happy. Is anybody really inwardly happy? Am I being a miserable JHG whose just jealous of people who work at Pret because they're employed?

 Maybe.
