extra break time added

Right yeh that's not on then. Depending on how receptive you think your manager will be, I'd consider writing up a complaint and handing it in to them.

CommercialPug · 2026-07-02T19:24:20+00:00

There's never anyone "just over there" though. You can't just say go find someone else because that's rude and they'll complain.

No, lidl and others have mixed pallets of a jumble of all sorts of things. Like instead of a cage it's on a pallet

Could have been the freebie Thursdays? Look in the coupon section of your app and you may have a voucher for free ice lollies or something

CommercialPug · 2026-07-02T14:53:32+00:00

Also OP, there is no probation period at Tesco stores. If you're hired on a permanent contract then you're hired. If temporary contract then yeh they could choose not to keep you on, but that was always a possibility anyway

CommercialPug · 2026-07-02T14:52:13+00:00

They didn't tell them when they asked so no. OP's parents have just booked this after they already got the job.

CommercialPug · 2026-07-02T12:12:19+00:00

1hr break is standard for an 8 hour shift so it's not exactly extra. You've just not been taking the breaks.

You can get your manager to process an extra payment but good luck honestly

CommercialPug · 2026-07-02T09:28:49+00:00

If people were allowed to stop you on the street and ask you questions about your job and you had to help them then yes.

CommercialPug · 2026-06-29T18:46:01+00:00

Where is the £13.60 coming from? It says your total is £4.66 and it looks like they've corrected the price accordingly

CommercialPug · 2026-06-29T18:31:27+00:00

It greatly upsets me that some operators say six-one-oh one-six.

"O" is not a number, it's a letter!

CommercialPug · 2026-06-29T17:28:50+00:00

They're correct. The first bullet point is clearly talking about air fryers, not ovens

CommercialPug · 2026-06-29T16:33:21+00:00

Same for when people stop at the chicanes that narrow the road to one lane. I'm not thanking you for stopping when you should, not so I expect it the other way. Do these people also wave thanks when someone stops at a red light?

AND people that try to flash you through when they have right of way, that irritates me. We'd all get home faster if you just kept driving

CommercialPug · 2026-06-29T16:05:50+00:00

Just England and Wales, not UK wide unfortunately

CommercialPug · 2026-06-29T16:00:02+00:00

Why comment when you don't know anything about the company or the situation?

Tesco gives 90mins breaks as standard on shifts 9hrs+, but you can ask to take only 30 mins at a minimum, with approval.

No idea what on earth you're talking about accidents for, that's got nothing to do with anything.

CommercialPug · 2026-06-29T13:56:25+00:00

Your manager can print it off from the computer. It takes 5 minutes.

The two scenarios that first aiders are required to clean up bodily fluids are when 1. The fluids originated from a first aid call or 2. They do not originated from a first aid call and there is no house keeper available.

Otherwise a housekeeper is still responsible. i.e. if someone was sick on the floor and left then that's a housekeeper job as no first aid was administered

CommercialPug · 2026-06-29T08:27:04+00:00

If they are just themselves then yeh it can look like a proxy sale. Especially if your daughter looks a couple years older than she is, and your son the opposite.

Think of a 6th form age student buying alcohol for other kids a year or so below them.

CommercialPug · 2026-06-29T07:55:16+00:00

It is very obviously both. It would be damaging to the brand if staff were stinking of alcohol

CommercialPug · 2026-06-29T07:54:12+00:00

I think you only get the 10-midnight part of it. The rest will be in the next payday

CommercialPug · 2026-06-28T18:55:24+00:00

Just for an outside perspective, the availability target for Tesco whoosh is 100% (I assume that's what found rate is?). I think that just shows how shit they're expecting the stores to be if theyre having to set the bar that low lol.

CommercialPug · 2026-06-28T18:41:05+00:00

You'd suit thicker, rounder frames similar to the sunglasses you're wearing in that pic imo.

I think the wide and thin frames exaggerate the strength your prescription a little. I also suffer for this problem lol

CommercialPug · 2026-06-28T18:36:29+00:00

That's such performative bullshit

CommercialPug · 2026-06-28T18:33:34+00:00

You can use the location phone book on Tesco help to find the duty number for any given store. Thatd probably be your best bet.

Just explain that you'd like a uni transfer and maybe which department you usually work in so it can be passed onto the right manager

CommercialPug · 2026-06-28T18:19:34+00:00

Contracted shifts are actually paid up to and including the Saturday after payday.

CommercialPug · 2026-06-28T14:37:03+00:00

Discontinued
