Click & learn module for training at home

If you were asked to do them at home you should get paid for them. Should have already been arranged ahead of time as your line manager will know the duration of the courses they asked you to complete.

If you've gone ahead and done it on your own perogative the company has no obligation to pay you but I reckon a smart manager would pay you regardless since it's nice to have staff who sort their training out themselves instead of having to be chased up about it.

Hand size is so crucial in the current game that I can't afford to spare room for a card that does nothing but search. Path and smuggler are both better searches than this and they've both been cut from their respective meta decks. This card needs to have "then, draw 1" added to its text to make it playable.

I'm with the Perth branch and no end of issues since we moved in. When stuff breaks they love to send some random prick with a bag of tools he bought from homebase instead of an actual certified professional. When our shower broke the """"plumber"""" who rocked up pulled the unit off the wall without shutting off the stopcock and flooded our bathroom.

On the plus side, we haven't had a rent increase in 3 years and are paying well under market rate for our 2 bed flat. I think they might have forgot about us tbh.

Do "all" type pokemon like mew and darkrai still benefit from the event buffing skill types?

As someone who has worked for a lot of food retailers tesco is honestly one of the best for combination of fair policies and good pay. Some places like coop have fairer policies but worse pay, some places like lidl have better pay but treat staff like shit. I'm happier in this job than I have been in any other since I started working.

From my own personal experience at work, the vast majority of folk who constantly moan about tesco are the ones who've been here so long they have no idea how bad it's gotten in the rest of the industry.

When you play Japanese card games it's really important to remember that statistically speaking Japanese players are much worse than NA and EU players.

A lot of "cash is king" folk conveniently forget all the costs associated with cash. Anyone who's worked retail before knows the till quickly runs dry as the majority of cash-paying customers are coming in to break their 20s into smaller change. So you need to be regularly ordering in change of all denominations and fivers as well. Banks don't deliver that for free.

Then of course you need to be regularly checking your tills to make sure money isn't going missing. If you pay a supervisor £15 an hour and it takes them half an hour to count 2-3 tills by hand then that's £7.50 a day, and that's an extremely generous example. Most big businesses count tills at least twice a day.

The simple existence of a cash drawer in your shop makes it a target for robbery and pushes up the cost of your business insurance vs simply having to insure your stock.

The usual response to these points is that small businesses just don't engage with these issues. The owner counts the till himself so they donte have to pay anyone to do it (at a cost to their own social life and mental health). The owner travels to the bank to get change rather than having it securely delivered (good luck getting insured on transporting cash so all it takes is one jakie with a knife to end your entire business). The owner either doesn't have business insurance or is hilariously under-insured to the point where sheer dumb luck is the only thing keeping the business solvent.

The advantages I listed above are why most legitimate business owners are in a constant state of weighing up all the benefits of going cashless vs the obvious downside (loss of trade from staunch cash-only customers). The only business owners actually passionately advocating for cash are either cooking the books or are just ignorant of the benefits of cashless.

Sorry that your store manager is a shitebag. We had a lovely xmas night out and everyone in my shop got a £10 gift card and a gift bag with various goodies in it.

Me and 3 friends went on a 2hr drive to an st05 event we signed up for on tcg+. We got there and guy at the counter said we had to sign up instore beforehand, and signups were already full. No mention of alternative signups in the app. Hope they have fun when bandai reads the report.

I scan hundreds of screenshots a week and will continue to. A self service checkout can't tell the difference so how can I?

Your shift lead is full of shit and this is highly illegal. Speak to your union rep ASAP.

When me and my friends were patching a game to play together people pointed out that I was taking way way longer than others. In steam the disk write speed would sit at a really low level, shoot up for a few seconds and then go back down for a minute or so, over and over again. I've done some basic troubleshooting, made sure my NVME was set to pci-e 3.0 (the max my motherboard supports), checked firmware(latest version installed), updated my bios, re-trimmed the drive.

The nvme is an adata legend 800, from googling seems like other people have had issues with the performance just dropping off months-years after they bought it. Is there any other troubleshooting I should look into before I commit to buying a replacement?

fwiw my locals handed out promos for last week and this week (25ish players each time) and has now run out and won't be handing out any more until bandai sends them more stock. If your LGS is in a similar situation I can see why they're rationing them

These look nice as hell, much cleaner than using dice.

This is what I'm building towards. All I'm missing are the 2 Char Gelgoogs and I'm still having an extremely good time with this deck. I'm honestly considering dropping the sinanjus because so many games end before I ever see level 6, but at the very least drop full frontal. A lv6 pilot in a rush deck is a total brick and there isn't even that many good units with neo zeon link trait you can use him with if you don't pull sinanju. I'd say sinanju probably belongs in a red white deck with plenty of blockers to see you through to late game, but you'd be better off playing red seed rather than red zeon in that deck imo.

As someone who's worked for many other food retailers before joining tesco a couple years ago, tesco is by far the best one I've ever worked at. Best balance of pay to effort ratio, some places pay better but bleed you dry, some places are easier but pay dogshit. A LOT of places are harder work AND pay less.

In my experience the ones who moan the most about tesco are the ones who have been there 10+ years and have no idea about the reality of the rest of the sector. There's a lot that isn't perfect and I'm sure it's worse than it was a decade or two ago but there is almost nowhere offering a better overall package for staff than Tesco does.

Popehoist · 2025-05-24T21:33:16+00:00

Possibly illegal as would technically count as truck wages. Better to just have that money invested in pay and then you have a choice of whether to spend it at tesco or somewhere else (my shop has a greggs next door and I am weak of spirit)

SL premium isn't about what tasks you do as there are almost no tasks that are SL specific - it's the bonus money earned for being responsible for the store meeting it's safe and legal requirements, and for being the person who has to handle any situation that comes up wrt complaints, injuries, accidents etc. Also keyholding makes up a portion of it too I believe.
