Working at Next

Yeah when doing a night shift I felt stupid in my shirt and trousers whilst others were dressed so casually. You'll be doing ALOT of moving, shifting and sorting so wear something really comfortable! Tight shirts and trousers will affect your performance (imo). Eat plenty of food and drink water!

What were the men sales assistants wearing on the shopfloor? the sale shirt with trousers or did they wear jeans? also did they have shoes or trainers?

I wanted to request to take one day off work on Friday the 3rd of August, it says when I click on that day, "available to work within period?", what does this mean?

For the guy colleagues..
Night shift: Plain tee, dark jeans, smart/casual shoes
Day shift: Shirt, Black shoes and black trousers (that's those who work on shop floor).

It means do you want to work another day in that week if there are shifts available.. for example you need a week off and you worked just weekends, you book them and chose not available to work in that period.. if however you just wanted the weekend off and don't mind working some shifts during that week, then you choose available to work..

does that make sense ?

I'm working tonight too, and was told to wear tshirt and jeans and comfortable shoes. I think it would be the same with most stores, just come in casual but nothing inappropriate or impractical.

It's going to be interesting considering I finish at 10pm tonight and start at 6am tomorrow (it's been a while since I've been up that early). D:

I'll be doing "wrapping" tomorrow and I was told by my manager that he'll be testing me on what is expected, but I don't have the booklet he was pointing out. Although self-explanatory, what would you say is expected of it? Has anyone done it before?

Hey Im working a night shift today and was just wondering if when you said to wear a Tshirt do you mean any Tshirt or the next sale one they give you ? Sorry it's my first time working here so I'm a bit clueless :/

I finish at 11pm today and start at 7am tomorrow so it looks we're on the same boat! Will only get about 4 hours of sleep tonight if I'm lucky.

I've only been working at Next for 3 weeks now, only done 3 shifts. Having a break of only 8 hours between shifts is brutal!

What is the first thing u do when u start the shift? Do u fill in the log book and go to the manager?

For me it was sign in to logbook right away, and then clock in? I've only done 1 shift, might be forgetting something tho...

For the people doing a shift after it closes tonight i just rung up and they said wear what you like. So yeah i guess dark jeans, plain t shirt, and normal shoes be absolutely fine

I work on Saturday from 6am till 12. I wanted to work as a till user too but they never mentioned anything, we didn't even receive any training on what we'll be doing.. :| I guess it'll most likely be picking stuff up (no training required for picking stuff up lol). Btw, are you temp sale only?



You could talk to your manager, they can make exceptions. I am allowed to wear my something under the T-shirt. What would you suggest?

Hi, i am on the tils tomorrow, taking payments ,uh oh! Iv never dun refunds or exchanges. and only served a few customers ever!! any tips I rly want to be quick and perform well pretty please.
Yeah I dont like the look of black trousers and the sale t. do u think if i turn up in skinny dark jeans they will say something? its more fashionable but they r topshop! I feel silly in my black trousers and uncomfortable.
Is it literally customer after customer on the tils???? Im nervous!!!!! hehe
If i dont do well i know my 3 month contract which ends soon will not be renewed. cos i have done one or two things wrong that the manager was there to see.oops.
