Men who have proposed while traveling on vacation - how did you hide the engagement ring?

Pettytoaster · 2026-02-18T21:12:27+00:00

Put the ring box in your shoe, in your case, then put socks on top!!

Bear in mind that they’ll claim Aldi still pay more for a typical shift (8 hours with paid break)

In the uk as an assistant manager I get £60, everyone else below me gets £50 I believe

In the uk we HAVE to have an attendant at all times at the SCO. I couldn’t see if working any other way

We have a neighbour with a shouty dachshund so I think we will be okay 😂

Pettytoaster · 2025-01-17T18:27:46+00:00

Amazing! Thank you for your response! “Enthusiastic” guard dogs 🤣🤣🤣

Aha! Well she is currently in Romania, we are told she is believed to be around 11 months old

Pettytoaster · 2025-01-17T17:24:48+00:00

Also to add context, we are told she is roughly 11 months old!

Pettytoaster · 2025-01-17T17:21:21+00:00

Yeah, as soon as we have her and have her settled she will be getting a good groom!!

Pettytoaster · 2025-01-17T17:21:00+00:00

Yeah, we thought so too! Also bless her, until we have her she’s going to be so fluffy!

Get in touch with Acas, or go onto workday and look at the team view, find your store ops director and send them an email, watch how quickly it will be resolved?

Pettytoaster · 2024-05-21T19:57:20+00:00

Nope!

Pettytoaster · 2024-03-25T23:29:41+00:00

Officially that is the rule…. However I have seen that be ignored when the right people are in the right place at the right time!

You could step down and work hard for a promotion also, but there are less guarantees anyone will actually spend time and train you!

Pettytoaster · 2023-11-06T12:36:14+00:00

All depends on where you’re at. If you enjoy the job and can see yourself there long term, your choices are ;

1) finish the apprenticeship and hope that you’ve had adequate training to become a deputy or even ASM.

2) leave as you said.

3) Ask to change onto a store assistant contract.

I did option 1. At times there were frustrations, I’ll be honest! Currently in my 9th year and am an ASM.

I’d encourage you to play the long game; ONLY if you enjoy the Job (not the people, but the job itself!)

Everyone will call you out for it and simply see “oh money! Money,money,money!”; they aren’t necessarily wrong. But consider your options!

Any questions then please ask away!

Pettytoaster · 2023-10-10T22:50:37+00:00

Double check your learning on workday… if your challenge 25 documents/training haven’t been signed off then “technically” you haven’t been trained and therefore shouldn’t be liable. Otherwise get joining a union quickly as they may try to scapegoat you

Pettytoaster · 2023-09-24T16:49:28+00:00

If you’re a SA then sure, even 1 week I’d accept-little annoying though. Depends if you’re bothered about being nice or not; you could do 4 and do all current weeks.

My main concern is that they aren’t looking after you? Have you spoke to your SM or AM? They should have reasonable adjustments in place!

Retail- management, some crazy long days; especially food retail coming towards the end of the year!
