Well done!!
Welcome to the exclusive waitrose club!!! lol,

All the staff in my branch are awesome, (apart from they tend to wind me up a little on purpose, my boss had tried to stop me going for break/home before- and he is too tall and scary to just run away from)

Thanks Leigh, I did that on my shift this afternoon, I just seem to spill loads of stuff! Im thinking I may even wear an apron after my uniform arrives, even if I may be a bit of a odd one out!

Anyone know when we get paid this month?

The cut off date depends what for- if your changing hours it will be 10/14th but for overtime i think it is tommorrow but i wouldn't hold me to that one, if it is overtime just try to write down all the overtime you do then tick it off when you have been paid for it.

Glad it helped- when you spill lots of things aprons are good- i have got better at not spilling thing lately though- (apart from yogurts still fall off cages)

Glad you think we are awesome......
But good luck on getting the position, you have applied for the best section! - fresh is great, i have been on fresh since i started, and when i did about half an hour on dry goods to help them at the end of a shift it was really alien.. the lack of stock rotation was really scary!!

It is a group interview- it will you will doing some getting to know you exercises and a few group tasks, and you may have a tour of the branch, but that is basically it, you may also have to do a selling task aswell.
