Sainsbury's thread Mk IV

I once came in at six am for inventory/mac purposes as she was definately coming that plinth change and ended up staying until midnight that day because we were short for plinth change. Even worse was having to be back in at 9am for start of mac week!

One thing I'm interested in trying to gather peoples opinions on is dayshift putting out nightshifts stock for that evening. So throughout the day from 10am ish the day shift are being asked to put the delivery out. Some are complaining that it is putting us a days availability behind because we are putting on the shelves what should be on tomorrow and letting it sell.

Others are saying well if it's selling it should have been on the shelf anyway to make it available for customers. It's causing quite a 'should they, shouldn't they' split.

Anyone have any opinions?

Hi,
was just wondering when the next pay day is for Sainsbury's?
as my induction is on Monday and Tuesday and my first shift on Thursday night;
so when is the first date that i will get paid?

Question regarding the news & mags stock take, do you have to scan all the unactivated scratchcards as well as the activated ones? Not sure if we have done it right or wrong as the only 2 people that know how to do it are off.

I've sent my Manager a letter regarding a store transfer to Brighton.

What is the process for this?
Will he sort most of this out or do I need to be doing something in the meantime?
I've been working there 6 months if this helps at all.


Thanks guys

Manchester store (but which one lol) general assistant here.

I want to find another job, and I might need a corporate reference to aid my C.V.

I will phone the central office like I am supposed to, but will this reference request be told to my current store?

I don't want them knowing I am looking for another job.

Can I take unpaid leave for a year to focus on studies?

You should now discuss the matter with your manager, who can then email and enquire about vacancies at the stores you've requested to transfer to.

Once a vacancy has been established, you'll need to apply via Inside Move - this will then generate an Internal Transfer Request Form which gets sent automatic to your current manager's email ID. They then fill out their bit [absence details, CPR rating, hours etc] and pass it onto your transfer store.

Once a decision has been made, you'll be informed - whole process can take as little as 24 hours or as much as 2 weeks. If you have a warning on file for conduct or absence or your performance rating is OTI or less, I'd suggest that not many managers would consider taking you.

Central HRSS will only submit a reference once you've left the company or are working out your notice period, not whilst you're currently employed - otherwise, you should ask your line manager to support with referencing [managers have restrictions but can still supply references].

Hi, I have an interview with sainsburys tomorrow and I'm prepared ish but now the dilemma of what too wear, it states smart/casual so I've planned to wear black chinos Brown leather brogues, and a white shirt, too casual?

When you're given nectar vouchers that say the value hasn't been reached/selected item hasn't been bought even though it has, is there anyway to manually put on the nectar points like you can manually put through a money off voucher?

No.

And it would be gross misconduct for you to do it unless you're a team leader or manager - I would suggest that any vouchers issues would be known centrally and communicated to your manager, so just raise it with them.

Oh ok thanks, I never knew that. I've been telling customers to take their vouchers that don't work to the customer service desk but was just wondering if there was another way to deal with it.

They're very specific, so it could be for unsmoked bacon, and they've bought exactly the same bacon if it's a value related one, they don't include spirits and liqueurs now.
