It's like every 3 months (I think) for uniform, and it all depends what shifts you work, its like £65 (1 shirt 1 bottom) for 8 hours and then it goes up, I'm pretty sure full time is like 3 t-shirts 2 bottoms or something good like that (i'm not completely sure as i wasn't full time). I didn't own anything RI to start with and they weren't that bothered to start with but once you get your clothes you have to wear it.

I'm fairly sure it'll be like 2 tshirts and 2 bottoms or something like that but yeah it's every 3 months.

Yeah it'll be in between £4.50 and £5 they don't give much over minimum wage because of the uniform allowance. Also, you get 30% discount upto £150 don't go over that limit cause they get really mad.

I applied online then got a reply 10 days later inviting me to a recruitment event/interview after this I got a phone call a week later inviting me to an induction to do a different job to the one I applied for but for the same amount of hours. My inductions on the 11th and I start on the 15th

Yeah, you get an allowance for your uniform, like mine was £65 for 8 hours and you were allowed to get 1 Top and 1 bottom for free but you weren't allowed to go over the £65 mark. Yours will be more cause you're doing more hours.
