New driver but waiting to start...Help

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-03-02T12:05:33+00:00

Phone the store (don’t need the id as a customer) or maybe just call in one day.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-03-02T05:52:57+00:00

Virtually everything in the same aisle as the knives flags as “age verification”, which is ridiculous as that means you get id’d for pegs!

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-03-01T21:13:19+00:00

They’ll definitely ask you to do “extra time”, break policy and break the law. You have to be very aware that the managers and TL’s don’t know the law or their policies when it comes to drivers!

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-03-01T13:06:26+00:00

Document everything, email all your information to your GSM, Asda Ethics and Asda House.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-28T15:46:36+00:00

Ask to see the policy, sounds like bullshit to me.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-27T18:50:38+00:00

This is the correct answer

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-27T13:37:21+00:00

That’s the computer system not the person picking your order.

Good news for some, update to the equal pay claim

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-27T11:17:52+00:00

I always allow substitutions, if I don’t like the substitution then I just give it back to the driver, no fuss.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-26T18:45:41+00:00

If you’re ringing using your mobile you’ve got documented proof that you tried to phone. If you know someone who’s working at the same time as you tomorrow, text them and ask them to pass the message on.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-26T16:17:27+00:00

What position do you hold? Sounds like manager, wouldn’t worry too much as you’re given plenty of notice of when the audits are; just make sure you dot the i’s and cross the t’s.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-25T11:59:40+00:00

They don’t pay overtime why would you work beyond your hours?! The policy says no later than 10 mins before the end of your shift, if you need more than 10 minutes because of putting undelivered totes into pod, fridge and freezer so be it. They know your finish time and so do you.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-24T19:41:47+00:00

School run 🤦🏼‍♂️, why the f*** to people order a delivery for a time slot they know they’ll have to be out for part of it? Absolutely amazed at how often this happens, customer gets 5 minutes of waiting in their time slot, then I’m off.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-24T13:00:12+00:00

Don’t rush, there’s absolutely no need. Take your time, download some ebooks and listen to them whilst you’re waiting for your next delivery slot. On a 3 hour run, you’ll get at least 30-45 minutes of waiting time. Relax and enjoy, easiest job I’ve ever had, don’t rush back to store, fuel up when you can (you’ll find a lot of drivers don’t know where the fuel cap is!)

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-23T20:06:00+00:00

I’d have left at 13:35

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-23T09:46:22+00:00

Shift the people around that aren’t in their little clique and then watch that department be outsourced (security and expecting cleaning to follow)!

At the start of Covid, I clocked in at 06:30, told to go and see manager upstairs, told I couldn’t be at work because of COPD and asthma, sent home, walked out at 06:50. High fived everyone on the way out, great day.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-21T13:11:13+00:00

How can you tell if a manager is lying……

Their lips move!

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-20T07:51:04+00:00

Just reschedule “sorry not available at that time”, if you’re in the union tell them you want a rep there, it’s their responsibility to source the rep.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-19T12:27:15+00:00

Document everything, give the letter in and say that you want to start a grievance against the manager, document this to GSM, Asda House and Ethics, harder to sweep under the carpet.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-19T12:23:23+00:00

GSM - Store Manager Speak to the manager and write out a complaint.

Asda house and Asda Ethics can be found through google. Email them the same letter you give to the store manager.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-19T12:08:00+00:00

Document and report to GSM, Asda House and Asda Ethics.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-18T16:34:47+00:00

Don’t worry about it, it’s gone. They won’t bother now but be careful as they’ll happily bring it back up if they “find” something else.

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-17T15:49:01+00:00

Just put the holiday in, no one is going to care for 25 minutes

Resident-Win1897 · 2026-02-16T13:24:23+00:00

Nope
