The Northumbria area is not suffering with driver shortages (in comparison with Durham County), and plenty of volunteers would work for the pay/extra days off if asked.
It was purely a gesture from the business to not even offer it.
I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree on this one!
As others have also mentioned, this same 'gesture of goodwill' is being used in retail too - whereas in reality there's reasoning behind it that the business doesn't publicly admit.
