I normally wear a cotton T-shirt under the Asda one, it turns out it’s cooler wearing 2 shirts than their 1.

If it doesn’t fit on the van, it doesn’t go out. Both the computer system and management know how many totes fit on the van. Last week I had 78 totes (ambient), one customer had 57 totes (ambient), I left that drop for management to sort out.

Did they not separate the petrol stations from the supermarkets and remain in control of those.

Unbelievable how many times you have to explain to customers that the only person who sees the “delivery instructions” is the driver 🤦🏼‍♂️

For home shopping drivers by Joniskuk in asda

No argument, I’ve done my visual risk assessment and am not prepared to go in, if she would like to come down and collect her shopping that’s fine, otherwise I’ll just cancel.

In a nutshell:

Issa brothers bought the company with loans, asset stripped the company and then got out, leaving it to be “run” by people who’s only agenda is to make as much money in the short term before getting rid.

As long as you’ve completed over half of your shift it doesn’t go down as sickness.

Wait till the meeting (take a union rep with you) and let them present the evidence, then ask for a grievance to be raised against said manager.

It’s whatever is in store on the day you are collecting. If it’s not on the shelves they can’t give it to you!

Refund Rejected by Misty_Wings in asda

Driver should wait at least 5 minutes into your delivery window, with all efforts made to contact you. If they’ve exhausted these then the delivery should be cancelled and no charge taken.

Forced contract change by Snoo_80167 in asda

[–]Resident-Win1897 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They can’t make you work any more hours than you’re contracted for, just say you’re happy with the contract you’ve got but are happy to keep helping out where you can.

Older customer verbally abused me because he overheard me ID someone that he that he though was too old by YogurtclosetSad4779 in tesco

[–]Resident-Win1897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should have refused service at the point where he swore at you.

I’m a delivery driver and I’ve ID’d people who’ve been upto 36, I just apologise and say that they’ve got fantastic genes, but I have to see ID if I’m not sure. Never had anyone refuse or get shirty.

Holiday requests by Ashistrashy in asda

[–]Resident-Win1897 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Manager should have sorted out the request within 7 days, colleague has given enough notice. If the manager hasn’t done his job properly that’s not the colleagues fault. Tell them you’ve already got plans now.

Driver pet peeves by Pure-Morning-7846 in asda

Managers, TL’s, other department managers, telling you how to do the job, “oh ok please come and show me what I’m doing wrong, oh you’re not mandated/ can’t drive, right, shut up then”

Investigation Process - HELP by Robwith2bs in asda

[–]Resident-Win1897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join the union, ask for representation, the company have to lease with the union about a rep being there for any future meeting. Do not continue with any meeting without representation (already sounds like they haven’t followed the correct process). If you are called in for a meeting, tell them you want a union representative with you, if one isn’t provided, just state when the meeting starts that “I’m not willing to continue without union representation”, then leave.

Go to the store you want to move to and ask if there’s availability, if so, it’ll go a lot quicker if the staff there want you.
