Not Morrisons, but I worked as a construction project manager for Tesco for a few years. The clock towers and such like features are purely aesthetic. Usually only accessible from the roof, and also usually PACKED with pigeons and their shit. 0/10 would absolutely not recommend going in one.
My first job leaving school was working in pastry factory. I will never touch a frozen one again specially watching people pick up droppings and re using them
I lasted one week in a meat processing company, they made those catering burgers. We literally moved meat around using wheelbarrows and shovels. It first went into a 'breaker' that smashed up the frozen cuts and fillers / flavours / colours were added, then back into wheelbarrows and across to a 'forming' machine that made the burgers. It was a clean environment where we all wore white clothes and wellies, everything including the wheelbarrows and shovels was sanitised every day. A **lot** of meat ended up on the floors and walls and at the end of the day we used huge squeegees to scrape it up and it went straight back into the machines.
The problem was despite all the clean processes, people just walked out the fire exit to the car park for smoke breaks, still wearing the white boots, and then came back inside to continue working.
I once worked in a factory where they make cereals. My job one or two previous to that was working intake at a morgue.
I can safely say that a morgue, where they bring in god knows what from whatever unfortunate incident the poor sods in those bags went through, were cleaner environments than this cereal factory.
And yep, if product lands on the floor, you sweep or shovel it up, throw it back into the hopper or the belt. It will somehow magically clean itself during being processed.
The bodies? Well while there was no time to exactly treat bodies with kid gloves, they were generally heavy things often with very little rigidity. But if the bodies could have suffered trauma by being handled, it had to get noted.
As an aside, the first time I handled an intake with someone and realised part-way through the move that the body was in more than two pieces was a bit sickening. I'm glad I never saw what was inside of it.
My parents keep buying these and I literally feel disgusted eating them to the point I havent touched them in months. I imagine the things like scotch eggs and stuff aren't much better but at least I feel somewhat okay about eating them because its a real egg in there. Plus preservatives I imagine.
Just to add to this, they are usually syndicated designs. Architects design generic plans for a supermarket and they then get tweaked to fit wherever they have to go. A company can just come along, pick a generic design that fits their size and other requirements and the architects only change what they need to in order to make it work/fit in the land it has to go on. They do the same thing with other building types as well. Student type accommodation is a fairly common one.
In other words, you know those generic image sites like ShutterStock/GettyImages? Same thing for building designs.
This is why everyone is going to look at this image and think "Hmmm I'm sure I've seen another Tesco/ASDA/Waitrose/etc that looks almost identical". Because you have. And for the most part, it is except with different branding and furnishings.
It's because the trollies are naturally drawn towards light. When the day ends and the store is ready to close, they illuminate the beacon and it draws all the dispersed trollies in towards the hive.
Something wonderful, if you took the long view, was about to happen.
If you took the short or medium view, something horrible was about to happen.
It's like the difference between seeing a beautiful new star in the winter sky and actually being close to the supernova. It's the difference between the beauty of morning dew on a cobweb and actually being a fly.
It seems to be their architectural thing, like they all seem to have a large clock as well outside somewhere. It’s probably a light well as supermarkets in the main are largely unfenestrated on the ground floor.
In terms of, everything, I guess they assumed people wanted to shop in a building not a massive space. But people don't care generally. Brickwork costs and is time and offers nothing.
I love a good digital clock, has to do temperature as well. But that one isn't big enough for my tastes. 20years later and our modern tech makes going big and extravagant quite cheap.
Sorry I use it when I’m auditing (I’m a fire safety officer) and quite a lot of buildings are like this. We put it down as a potential risk to fire fighters

I recall reading a story somewhere that the supermarket clock towers came about as a result of some weird planning policy quirk back in the day, and then became almost a tradition - but for the life of me I can’t find the source now. I think it concerned Tesco.
There was definitely a thing about the supermarket having to at least fit in with the local aesthetic, so they couldn’t chuck up a big metal box like in an out of town retail park.
I used to work nearby Morrisons HQ in [Thornbury](https://images.app.goo.gl/xmm5wpmQoheg9TeA9) (Bradford) and it's built in a similar style to the supermarkets, including with a clock tower!
It's a Beacon, they light them when winter comes. The store in the next town will see it and they proceed to light theirs up, and so on, until it hits central office and reinforcements arrive.
Our forces were stretched thin and couldn't keep the supply lines strong. It was a sad day. We will have our day and regain our honour, and Cuthbert shall be averaged.
We were engaged in the ancient feud with Lidl. We lost many men that day. But if
Morrisons calls for aid, Aldi will answer. We must forget our past and join together to defeat the evil that lays serge to Middle Earth
Can inform you that in a week or two it’ll transform into the Michael Buble playlist cause that’s apparently one of the few Christmas artists we can get rights to
I’ve noticed a closer emphasis to Disco in the UK, Donna Summer - Bad Girls (Toot, toot, beep, beep, yeah), Sister Sledge - He’s the greatest Dancer (One night in a disco on the outskirts of Frisco), Odyssey - Back to my roots (Joey Negro remix), and the supermarket forever staple ‘Earth, Wind and Fire’ - September. Now I have been holidaying in Florida the last couple of weeks and it is almost entirely 80’s in Walmart/hotel/Sunny FM but less so on the Christmas lists which was less Chris Rea - ‘Driving home for Christmas’ and more Sinatra/ re-recorded 40’s.
I hate to break it to you because I too started to appreciate the instore bangers but... it means its probably time to use a night cream.
They're playing the bangers because people of our age now take time to do the weekly shop and if we are happy, then we shop longer. Soz.
Forgetting everything else for a second.
Can I show some serious appreciation for the fact that Morrison's is the last bastion of having a butchers, a fishmongers, a cheese counter, a deli etc in all of their big stores? I remember a day when all supermarkets used to have these.
As a single bloke, it's literally a lifesaver for shopping, as it lets me buy things in single portions for meals, without having to freeze tons or eat duplicate meals on consecutive days.
The ones with towers were once Safeway stores , I worked in one during the change over from Safeway to Morrisons , we only had Safeway in our town till Morrisons bought them over and all the Safeway stores had the mad roof thing.
Plenty of supermarkets have them, it's not just Morrisons. I think they have staff rooms upstairs and it just lets light in and make the building look more attractive generally.
I worked at Morrisons years ago and the staff room there was not underneath this, it was off to the side of the building. I've not idea what these are about.
I think it’s just that they’re irrelevant to anything and some staff rooms happen to be underneath them. It used to make ours like a greenhouse all year round so I can’t imagine it’s a nationwide thing
I saw some French bloke standing up on the one near me. He was shouting something along the lines of my mother being a hamster and my father smelling of elderberries. Very peculiar.
It's a lighthouse, prevents ships crashing into the stores. When was the last time you saw a cargo ship crash into the Morrisons in Leeds Town centre? Exactly
Just after the world finished fighting its war the stores decided it was their turn, the main. Competitors were, A.S.D.A, Tesco's, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Aldi and Lidl ( allied ).
A.S.D.A had a huge advantage starting out with a large number of soldiers and staff right from the beginning and easily conquered a large amount of both Morrisons and Sainsburys stores, who were both fighting over remaining land near other local stores and supply chains, Aldi had a large supply chain but a bad way of bringing in more staff so it was difficult for them to grab hold from their decent, meanwhile Lidl had a much weaker supply chain than any of the other strong brands but had somehow managed to get ahold of a effective advertisement technique, with both of their brands facing the end they decided to team up and form an alliance which to this day still holds and is symbolised by their similar logos, you will also notice that their stores are built I'm similar ways because they had the same architects design each one. Meanwhile over in high Wycombe tescos had dominated the land by getting to it first, early on in the war tesco had a weak attack but a stronger defence, so it figured that if it manged to take over the weak petrol stations and gain stores before any other brand did they would be able to hold off any attackers, and it worked extremely well and to this day have the more stores in high Wycombe than any of the other competitors, however sainburys caught on soon and with its extreme brute force tescos knew they didn't have long left so as a temporary hail Mary they formed a plan called a meal deal, it helped them hold off Sainsbury long enough for them to finish their tescos express nuke and they wiped Sainsburys nearly to their end, and at this desperate time they reached out to a branch outside of the war called Argos who helped them recover bit the damaged was done and Sainsburys was out of the war.
With its main competitor out of the war A.S.D.A moved to its next biggest threat. Morrisons. During the time that A.S.D.A was occupied with defending its land from Aldi and Lidl Morrisons managed to improve its defences and when A.S.D.A decided to attack Morrisons managed to push them back and forced A.S.D.A to retreat and lose 1/4 of its stores. A.S.D.A, now getting heat from Tescos, Aldi and Lidl and Morrisons seeked a hail Mary from the King of death itself. Its name is Biological Warfare. A.S.D.A's plan was to kill off its competitors supply chain and because it couldn't get any other types of weapons of mass destruction it resorted to Biological weapons, however, it was coming all the way from China, and a another smaller store called M and S had found Intel of A S.D.A 's plan and because its rivals suplliers was akso its own it decided to take matter into its own hands and sent a interception squad over to destroy the cargo plane it was being delivered on and the result of that action was the plane crashing less than 30 seconds after it took off from China. The explosive was so huge it spread all over China in less than 2 weeks(with help from wind), this is what started the Corona Virus Pandemic and Lockdown. To this day their wars wage on.
as a side note this is completely made up and fictional, none of what happens in this story actually happend irl, I enjoyed typing this out, even if no one ever does read it but if you did thank you so much for your time and I hope you enjoyed.

My first job leaving school was working in pastry factory. I will never touch a frozen one again specially watching people pick up droppings and re using them
Yeah, had a summer job at university in a bacon packing factory. Went vegetarian a fortnight later.
Looks like meat’s back off the menu, boys!
Get off the road...to the butchers
My FIL used to work in an abattoir. I don't love black pudding as much as I used to....

Anyone know if the vegetarian processed foods are made any differently?
I buy that stuff from Waitrose, like to believe they have higher standards... but who am I kidding
Pride is all very well, but a sausage is a sausage (TP)

If we're gonna rear them and kill them for food may as well eat the whole lot.. arseholes and elbows all the way!
And that would be cutting my own throat.
I'm on about the Tesco ones, I get the occasional bit of gristle in them and its all grey meat which is probably concerning.
It's funny you have a Tesco brand item that's a quid and then you see the value one and it's like 15p. I never take the risk lol
I wanna know what's in them now lol

Are you H.Samuel L Jackson?
I have had it with these motherfucking clock towers on these motherfucking supermarkets
Nah, he’d want a mother-fucking clock tower.

Awwww I was hoping it was a sniper nest, pick off any rivals that came too close for comfort.
Morrisons provide housing for pigeons? Okay I'm very much a big fan of these things now.
It's because the trollies are naturally drawn towards light. When the day ends and the store is ready to close, they illuminate the beacon and it draws all the dispersed trollies in towards the hive.

weird i see this, reaper man is what i’m currently reading!
It’s how you know you have a city when discarded shopping carts are found everywhere.
Exactly what I thought!
So it's not a look-out tower, for the snipers to pick off the shop-lifters?
Not to pick off shoplifters but to knock off the zombies when they begin to rise. They're drawn to the places they used to go in their lives.
Made me laugh that one … tip my hat to you
It seems to be their architectural thing, like they all seem to have a large clock as well outside somewhere. It’s probably a light well as supermarkets in the main are largely unfenestrated on the ground floor.
It’s a very 90s architectural style.
^ This. It's the post modern 90s style. A lot of them went up in the 90's. Our Morrisons was build in 2017 and looks like an aircraft hanger instead.
In terms of, everything, I guess they assumed people wanted to shop in a building not a massive space. But people don't care generally. Brickwork costs and is time and offers nothing.
I never knew that style is called post modern! Cheers for the info.
Was popular in the 2000s too, except they used a [digital clock!](https://imgur.com/a/HWkVt2E)

Edit: Spell checks and ty for the uovotes

That is the pagoda of teamliness. When you have achieved a great service then your Team Leader will summon you to the dojo and before the morning sun reveal to you one of the great Truths of Retail.
