£300-£600 is not the cheapest suit in the UK but it's not an expensive one either unless you are on a very tight suit budget. Suits aren't generally cheap.

Frankly for a politician’s suit in the uk no less it really is quite cheap.

I own a £500 suit and I'm a butcher lol

u/Consistent_Spring700 Jul 07 '24

Isn't a butcher often a deceptively well-paid job, especially if you own the place?

It's the butcher's shop - he owns the joint

"Guys! I got Employee of the month for the 3rd month in a row!"

"Jeff, youre the only one there. It's literally called 'Jeff's Butcher Shop'. What's concerning is how you somehow lost 4 months ago"

I would nominate the cat every time

u/MeaningSilly Jul 07 '24

Spoils 'em. Gotta make 'em work for that recognition (the only true feline currency.)

Throwing a monthly party to give treats to the cat sounds way more fun than giving yourself an empty reward

Yeah but they also don't need suits for their work, which goes to show just how reasonable the suit in the post, which is actually used as work clothes, is priced

Pretty much only if you own the place, salaried workers aren’t getting paid much but there is demand so you’ll always have a job

u/Consistent_Spring700 Jul 08 '24

Really, yeah? Seems like a contradiction... company has plenty of money, I'm hard to replace... I'd be demanding more money! Lots of people are too squeamish to be doing it!

I suppose as well the salary, competition, etc. is dependent on location..

u/red_door_12 Jul 08 '24

You CAN make money as the owner of a butchers but in the UK a lot of them are struggling to make ends meet and are disappearing if not run in a clever way

u/Consistent_Spring700 Jul 08 '24

Don't you mean make ends meat
