The Tesco thread.

Thanks, does anyone know the nightshift pay too?

I have induction tomorrow. What should I be wearing?

Can someone tell me what the 'dairy' role consists of? Is it like a general customer assistant (shelf filler) or is it just dealing with milk.

Can someone explain how many hours we have to work to get certain breaks to me please?

I think this is how it works not 100% though, I've worked there for 3 months and I think I've got to grips with it now haha!

1-3 hours = no break

4-5.5 hours = 15 minutes

6-7.5 hours = 30 minutes

8-9 hours = 90 minutes

Today is pay cut off right?

I was on dairy for a month and then moved to checkouts.

It is about replenishing and rumbling chilled products, such as cheese, milk, ready meals, and all other chilled products (except for meat & poultry), in addition to providing customer assistance and assisting on the checkouts during team service calls when it is very busy.

Do you prefer checkouts or dairy. What is the best role in your opinion?

Yes for all overtime :-)

What about contracted hours? I work tues, weds, thurs, so will next week be in This months pay as well?

hey guys

i applied for the customer assistant role at several different tesco stores where i live and its been a couple of weeks and my applications are still in 'processing' mode.

How long do tesco take to get back to you?

Hi, I applied for a night job at my local Tescos but my local Tescos closes at midnight so I'm confused Does it mean I'll be working whilst the store is closed? It's for a customer assistant job.

Also, what is the rate of pay per hour?

And would they be okay with a septum + nose piercing?

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer

Some stores that close at midnight have workers working through the night, others don't. The store I work at (superstore) operates 0600-0000 and used to have workers through the night,but no longer does.

Pay is base - £7.24 going up to £7.62 per hour after 9 months of continuous service

The septum and piercing should be okay, but this is what the company handbook says (quoted)

"All jewellery is worn at your own risk as it can be dangerous when you are lifting and carrying. It may be in your best interest to leave it safely at home, however, if you choose to wear it, it should be kept to a minimum.
All jewellery should be discrete and not excessive, with watches and bracelets close fitting and necklaces tucked into your shirt or blouse.
Rings can be worn in moderation (maximum of three).
Earrings should be studs or plain sleepers and no more than two per ear.
A small nose stud may be worn (except if you work in a fresh food preparation area).
No other visible piercing is acceptable. Tunnel earrings should be removed and a flesh coloured blank used to cover the hole in the ear. Piercings should not be covered with a blue plaster.
If you work in the colleague restaurant no jewellery other than a plain banding and one pair of plain stud or sleeper earrings no greater than the size of a one pence piece may be worn."
