Sainsburys thread MK III

I told my teachers what I was doing so they could give me an appropriate mark on the register even though 1 forgot I think :L someone who was on the induction also told reception the truth and they weren't too happy with that so I think your best bet is to ring in sick. :P

Sainsburys DVD Test Version 2
Section 1
I have another interview with sainsburys and i failed on section one the last time (customer service) where you have to list the answers from most suitable to least. Can someone help me with some from experience because more than one of the answers looked suitable to be first.

EX. A customer is struggling with her trolley. what do you do?

A: Go and help the customer
B: Ask the customer if they need help

I have a final stage interview on Tuesday (after I passed what I thought was a disastrous phone interview!)
What can I expect from the maths test? I haven't done maths at school since 2009 so hope it's nothing too advanced!

It really isn't that bad, simple maths like 'if Jenny has 5 oranges and she wants another three how many will she have' They can get slightly more complicated towards the end like calculating how much change to give people.

Could someone tell me what products are in the fresh foods department?

Like, it's not the meat counter is it? I'm assuming it's stacking shelves with packaged chicken?

Applying for Sainsbury's again...only vacancies they have are for checkouts. I shall never be rid of these checkouts, but I need the money. Gahh. It's not going to matter that I've had to make a new account, is it? I can't remember what email address I used for my last application. My last job was Sainsbury's, so I don't really know who specifically to put as a reference. Shall I just put "HR department"? And should I put the telephone number as their normal store number? Since they're in the same city, I'm supposing they would know who to contact. I just think it looks a bit bad for me not to know.

I hope I can get the job. Seeing as I worked there for 2 years and only left in September, it would be sort of embarrassing to be rejected...

Can you use the employee discount online?

I need a bit of help

I didn't get paid right on 28th Dec, they under paid me by 21 hours.
The next day I told myanagwr who informed HR. I was told it was a mix up as my contract changed in week 4 of that period.

HR Manager said they're paying me trough global and ill get it in 5 working days. Then on Sarurday just gone another HE employee came up to me regarding my 'wage query' and said that yes I was underpaid and that they sent it all off and they just need my store manager to authorise it, again giving me 5 workin days... I still haven't been paid.

I'm totally skint. That money is 'extra' after paying my bills. I went on a 3 day course which I had to walk to and from because I couldn't afford the bus!

Can I do anything or do I just have to wait for my money? Can I threaten to go to the Union as they aren't paying me what I've worked?

How do you know what your employee number is?

Is there still a Sunday Premium? Anyone know what it is?
