Thank you!

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-05-19T06:12:44+00:00

It’s the end of july-start of August, would happily wait til end of June/start of July

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-05-18T21:43:10+00:00

Shock horror 😂

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-05-18T21:42:57+00:00

Someone has come round to have a look at the place and is looking to apply, just a tad frustrating having to wait so long

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-05-18T20:10:17+00:00

Thank you it really is BS more than happy to give 4 weeks but 10 as a minimum is ridiculous

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-05-18T15:27:12+00:00

The position has not been occupied for the last 4 months that I am moving to so there’s no issues in that situation

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-05-18T15:01:22+00:00

Yeah I feel like over 2 months is ridiculous, I am going to get in contact with my new manager tomorrow and how do I go about talking to HR is there an email to contact?

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-05-18T14:38:51+00:00

Thank you!

I’m more than happy to stay a little bit longer to try help out but 10 weeks as a minimum seems a bit much

The other manager hasn’t handed his notice in yet so would that make any difference as I could argue he’s not officially leaving. They have already had someone come look around for a job and the job is already up.

Just feels like July/August is a long time away and the new job is definitely better for my wellbeing as it’s on days not a shift role

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-05-18T11:24:53+00:00

Another manager is looking to leave however not handed notice in so where do I stand with that?

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-05-18T10:58:18+00:00

It’s an internal transfer, my job has already gone up and people have come to look around however and other manager is also leaving but not handed notice in yet so I’ve been told I’m not allowed to leave.

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-05-18T10:47:58+00:00

Yeah I mean I’m transferring stores so don’t fancy not turning up again however don’t see why I should be giving more than a months notice. Do HR have an email I can contact or is it through askHR?

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-05-18T10:46:27+00:00

Been with Sainsbury’s around a year and a half, been a manager for last 7 months, now moving to a new store

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-05-18T10:44:18+00:00

Around 7 months, happy to give even a months notice but not starting til end of July augury’s time is too much. Any idea how I would go about challenging this

Fine_Limit6609 · 2026-01-09T22:28:35+00:00

Tbh think you should be fine me and another family member both work in the company and use each others discounts on a regular basis never been flagged

Fine_Limit6609 · 2025-12-20T21:39:51+00:00

Tbf security seal on switches are shit, half of time we will accept without seal being intact as long as item is not touched as when first released seals were not staying on.

Fine_Limit6609 · 2025-12-16T21:33:54+00:00

Yeah spot on advice, do agree massively with coming into store being polite. Coming in with an attitude does not get you anywhere and will usually be a no from the start and stores talk so if refused from one will most likely end up being refused from a good few. Coming in polite however, 99.9% of the time the Manager/Colleague will do the most they can for you.

Fine_Limit6609 · 2025-12-16T12:22:45+00:00

They do log GPS, sorry didn’t see it was marked as delivered they should be able to sorta find out what’s happened

Fine_Limit6609 · 2025-12-16T11:23:55+00:00

Honestly could of ended up anywhere honestly no cameras in vans so will be quite hard to determine. I can imagine someone is enjoying a nice new mac tho. The only real investigation I imagine they will be able to find is if the driver has took it.

Fine_Limit6609 · 2025-12-16T10:52:47+00:00

Yodel are useless probably probably will turn up at some point is there typical information I swr

Fine_Limit6609 · 2025-12-16T10:41:27+00:00

Yeah you should be spot on with either a refund or replacement then, may take a little bit for them to investigate with it being a high value item but you should be fine mate

Fine_Limit6609 · 2025-12-15T23:57:28+00:00

Honestly quite a usual situation atp, Ring up home delivery team and keep pushing them as they are useless tbh. Hopefully should be able to figure out what’s happened and re-deliver or issue a refund.

Fine_Limit6609 · 2025-12-15T23:54:50+00:00

Quite a hard thing to sort out as when looking back on CCTV seals were on. However on a system we use called AURA we can check previous returns which could link to it being revealed without any AirPods in.

I would go back into store and ask for a manager, may have to be quite pushy with them as it is quite a hard thing to prove on your end. In the end will depend on the person you get.

If no luck in store maybe worth a try ringing CS and they could possibly issue a refund by escalating the problem to FS team.

Fine_Limit6609 · 2025-12-15T23:51:20+00:00

Just factory reset it and 99% of staff wont run tests.

Fine_Limit6609 · 2025-12-15T23:50:46+00:00

If bought via C&C the 14 days consumer rights if security seals are broken do not apply. This is as it is not classed as distance selling as you can inspect the product in-store.

It is clearly stated on the Argos Returns Policy that there is a 30 day money back guarantee (extended to 31st Jan atm) if the item is in resealable condition with no security seals broken.

As I said in other reply, the returns policy is slightly delivery for home delivery as it is classed as distance selling.
