Sainsburys thread MK ll

It works the same as any other employer - if you have booked holiday and you tell them about it at interview, then they have to let you have that time off. If you don't tell them until after you get the job they have no obligation to let you have it.

There is no uniform for the induction. You'll be in the training room for most of it. If you want to look like you've made an effort wear smart trousers and jumper, but nice pair of jeans would be okay too. Your feet will be under a desk most of the time so footwear is pretty much irrelevant.

The induction is mainly watching videos, filling out forms, learning about the history and values of the company, stuff like that. There shouldn't be any more interviews, although you may meet your department manager.

Training for your role takes place from your first shift. You're taught on the job.

Different stores have different policies but I think most are trying to train as many people as possible on checkouts. All code controllers at our store are till trained and are regularly called to lend a hand at busy times.

Just wear black trousers and a shirt. Don't got for a suit as not even the managers wear suits.

Training will be fairly generic to start with and covers people in all roles. What happens depends slightly on how many people there are, at mine there was only 2 of us so it was hard to do most of the activities so we skipped over them. There are lots of videos to watch and paperwork to sign though. After the main induction you get handed over to your department and then you get trained on how to do your job rather than the general health and safety and what Sainsburys stands for etc. of the main induction.

In theory any role other than nightshift could have to work on checkouts. Whether you get trained for them on not will depend on the needs of your store. They may try and get your checkout training out the way at the start if they want you trained on them though but that will come after the induction, not on the first day.

Say bye to the Challenges and Refusals book!

Its all going onto repos (the computer). When you sell a age restricted item, it will come up on the till with more than "Yes" or "no", and adding other options like Underage, Drunk, No ID, ID OK etc. Can't remember the exact options though.

Also, finally gift cards will work on self scan - They took their time on this one!

Also also, anyone else heard about the grablocks change?

Any advice on transferring stores for uni ?

Yep, grab locks are disappearing as of this Sunday.

You'll also be able to do a department sale on self scan, so that'll be useful for when things won't scan, rather than having to suspend and drag the customer over to the desk.

Or use 411301 (in the meantime!) - misc grocery

No more losing of keys now!

What is the limit of paracetamol you can sell in one transaction and does the till flag it up? We were told the till does but I've never seen it come up.

i think its a combo of 32 tablets in any one transaction but i'm not sure
