They have people that work at night, one of those will have the door keys, simply knock on the front door - or whichever door people are nearest to and they will let you in.

I start at 6am saturdays, & at 5am some days in the week in school holidays, & there is a bell on the wall at the main entrance. Someone has a key on night shift (usually the lady that sorts the papers & area around kiosk) lets us in.

lol, well I've got to be in at 5.30am! and theres no other entrance except where the deliveries get dropped off and picked up, should have really asked this to be fair - but it just didnt occur to me at that moment in time - Should be fun :wink:

Is that for induction or something?

If so, then the store trainer will usually meet you outside and then take you in together.

But it seems rather early for induction. If your store doesn't open till ~8am, then the chances are you wont be able to slide open the doors. In which case you'll have to use the back door. Or just hammer the door down?

If you can, I would quickly call and confirm. :yes:

No, this ones not for induction, and the worst part is .. (You ready for this lol..) I have to walk to work that day! :eek:

Ill just bang on the doors till someone comes or look for a bell which will more than likely be in some obscure place :rolleyes:

Banging is always a good thing to try if all else fails :smile:

Ours is a diddy little thing that looks like its been robbed off someones front door :biggrin:

& it is a bit tucked away right on the edge of the sliding doors frame. There will almost definately be one on your store. Would be surprised if there's not :yes:

LOL! I'm so going to have to create an Orange Thread! :woo:

I doubt it will be as popular?

I've noticed something, Sainsbury's employees do tend to be a lot more sociable.. :smile:

I think how big the thread was on here is a prime example.. (or we have more to talk about..) or it's simply Sainsbury's doesn't communicate enough and we have to find out new policies ect via here? I dunno :frown:

Have you got your induction dates sorted btw? New starters are always fun.. dressed nice and smart at induction and all raring to go. Give it a week and you couldn't care less! :p:

I think the TSR Sainsbury's Thread is the best thing Sainsbury's has!

I'm still going to have a nose and poke around to see what's going on! :biggrin:

I don't think I'll be shopping at Sainsbury's anymore though..

Edit: Arrghh! Dominic Howard, where art thou?

I think Sainsbury's has put me off supermarket shopping fulltop! :biggrin:

(Not that I did much in the first place but you know :p:

)

I wonder how many posters there have been in this thread altogether? Enough to justify setting up our own store? I think so :yes:

I only used to get bits and bobs from Sainsbury's because of the discount, and because it was convenient to do it after I finished work..

I think I'll only miss the TTD Slow Baked Cookies! Yum! Yum! :woo:

I'm sure we have enough people to run a store. If we don't I'm sure we could hire more with similar personalities.. :yes:

But what could we do to make our store better than the rest of Sainsbury's?

I'll star with hiring enough staff for checkouts rather than calling everyone else on the shopfloor almost every hour of every day to tills thus slowing down replenishment and leaving shelves empty!!
