One worker claimed they were underpaid for 1,114 parcels over eight weeks, missing out on almost £400 worth of commission.
Another independent store said they were owed for 300 parcels across a six-week period.
Natalie Lightfoot of Londis Solo Convenience in Glasgow said: Last week, myHermes only paid me for one parcel when I know I had processed double figures. When I see this, it makes me wonder if it has ever been right.
And Atul Sodha, owner of Peverills Londis Harefield in Uxbridge, said he has since been refunded for 342 missing parcels. The worrying thing is I didn t even know I was owed this, he said.
Seventy pallets of Ribena Sparkling 500ml have been distributed
Suntory Beverage and Food GB&I has distributed £100,000 worth of Ribena Sparkling to more than 40 independent retailers to donate to local charities.
Retailers from symbol groups including Nisa, Londis, Premier, Budgens, One Stop, Spar and Best-One will between them receive 8,884 cases of the product, equating to 70 pallets of Ribena Sparkling 500ml.
The beverage company asked the retailers to nominate charities to distribute the drinks to.
It comes off the back of its existing Growing for Good initiative, that has so far seen 107,000 cases of drinks distributed to community groups and food banks. Some 32,000 cases have been donated to FareShare and FoodCloud during the pandemic.
