My store was told to shut today by police. The shop next door is apparently being looted. A 5 minute walk down the road form the shop brings me to a Jessops which is apparently on fire "/

Be safe.

Our petrol garage was targeted. Smashed window but they didn't get in.

I have an interview in like 3 hours but
Should I tell them that I'm on holiday in two weeks and that I don't
know my sixthform time table?

Or should I simply not turn up?

Does anyone know anything about the pay rise for this year. Last year, it was 2.3% extra on 8th of October.

I am on £6.88/hour, I assume pay rise will increase to £7.04?

I am feeling quite overwhelmed by the riots in Manchester tonight. Being my hometown, being where I am living right now, raises the impact 10-fold. :frown:

One of the Sainsbury's local stores in the city centre was attacked, despite it being relatively out of the way. The images show children, as young as 10, stealing alcohol. I just hope there were no staff in there to get hurt...

Stay safe everyone!

Had 2 Code 10's tonight in my 4 hour shift.
It was quite amusing, although that's nothing compared to being at work in the middle of a riot! feel sorry for all those workers...

I asked my line manager about me needing to apply for a dual store spot. And apparently i need to hand in a written notice to HR? Does anyone know what this needs to say? Just saves me going in early tomorrow, cheers in advance.

In our store, you need a short paragraph just saying that you would like a dual contract and why, I'm guessing for uni? Then which store(s) you're looking to dual store with, what hours you'd be able to work and how many you'd like and which date you'll be leaving your current store :smile:

trying to transfer sainsburys finding it impossible, any one successfully transferd?

I agree, Ive found a job in a store closer to me. Noone seems to be able to help me, they say apply on line, my existing store dont want to know cos they short staff and dont want me to go. HR haven't helped me either! Any advice please?

That normally means there are no jobs matching your search.

There are loads of jobs matching my criteria, Ive spoken to lots of people who tell me they have tried to apply but the site crashes or does not return results

hey guys i applied was filling an online application for sainsburys. I clicked on submit but nothing happened, so I clicked submit again and it took me to the "error" page.

I went to my application history page and it says "application in progress". Does this mean it was sent? Am i supposed to receive an acknowledgement email?
