Sainsburys thread MK ll

Well when we've done "all till trained colleagues to checkouts" at very random times..like 10PM at night sometimes. Very few people turn up when called.

I suppose its fair that everyone is till trained, so that the same people aren't relied on too much.
They could give people groups, and tannoy certain groups at different times.
I find that the all till trained tannoys usually don't work, or you'll get 1 or 2. Its amazing how much better it works if you add immediately or 2nd call to the end, or even if the store manager does it - people just appear!
We're getting self scan in this week, and the new tills (finally!), so we'll see how many till trained calls need to be done.

We don't have many checkouts and it's not really any of our concern since we work night shifts and we're only open for an hour. I suppose near xmas they might - we are open until 12am. But it sitll doesn't seem worth it!

They are starting to check our overs now to make sure we are doing our jobs properly. I am one of the only people who says "I want to get as much out as possible, if it means overfilling" cos I HATE taking things back again. Everyone else thinks the opposite - "can't be arsed".

Is that the new scanners your getting. Its gonna take the cashiers a while to get used to those. When we first got them, we had a queue of about 30 people at the CSD due to double scanned items. We ended up opening one of the tills to deal with refunds...

We are half expecting that to happen! Hopefully a little coaching session with the staff who are most likely to over charge will help
Lets just hope it means we can hit IPM more easily now!

hi,
I finished interview on saturday in sainsbury but i want to know they let me know i get the job or not bec there was one lady told me until monday you can know result

When you get the new scanners, IPM increases to 21.

I saw the report for the IPM's and I saw my cashier number there. My IPM is something like 10 atm. My cashier number tends to get used by other people when the cashiers decide to "forget" their numbers, so it's not actually me being slow! Honest!

My supervisor number however , was around the 40 mark. (I think when you save transactions then scan back it in, it counts all those items rolling back onto the screen as a different item, in that mminute? Anyone want to confirm this?)

We've been told our IPM is going to be 19, or 20. 19 in the book and 20 by a manager! Lets hope its 19 lol

My IPM tends to stick over 20 I do go on tills for short amounts of time which is why i reckon i managed to keep it at that level! haha... We do have some people that just manage to go so slow it's unbelievable. Yet when you look at them, they don't seem to be going too slow, but when you look on productive, it shows that they are awful!

And, yes, saved transactions do make your IPM shoot up! I've got 750 IPM before now!

Hmm. When you do a duplicate receipt it all comes up on the screen like a saved transaction. Would this boost your IPM too?

How do i go about a transfer for university. Do i go to HR? Also, i've only been at Sainsburys for 7 weeks now, will that matter? I really don't want to leave Sainsbury's so i really hope i can get a transfer for September.

eek, interview tomorrow at sainsburys. I appled online 2 days ago, so they got back to me really quick. I'm just wondering what to expect? Is the interview formal? I'm pretty nervous, i've never had a job interview before. Mostly worried about the kinda questions they're going to ask. I'm not good at thinking quick
