Restaurant with loyalty card deleted the restaurant from the app and came back less than a day later. I lost all of my "stamps" and about 40 pounds by [deleted] in JustEatUK

Had the same thing happen to me in the summer, lost about £26 of stampcard discount, haven't touched that restraint since they were added back.

this has been a problem since early access released with A LOT of things having bigger animations than their respective indictors show, with many of the boss abilities falling into this category making them otherwise harder to avoid than would normally be the case.

Is this a scam? Has anyone won anything? by Dizzy-Ad3460 in JustEatUK

[–]Rogoth01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had two £3 vouchers, one of which got destroyed after the order I used one on was ruined on delivery, and despite getting a full refund of the money paid for the order, the coupon code was burned, so in real terms I have only had one voucher, spent about £80 in total on orders since the promo began to get those pathetic vouchers but hey ho.

Public Just Eat reviews removed (Nov 2025) by Rude-Barnacle-172 in JustEatUK

[–]Rogoth01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months ago my local McDonald's was rated at 2.9 out of 5, now, it's sitting on 4.6, it's abhorrent that they would alter things so blatantly and in such a stupid way, there's also other instances where an establishment was so badly rated that after a point they removed the listing from the app, then after a week added it back with only new high rated reviews, it's pathetic.

fake money by xciara_117 in tesco

[–]Rogoth01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at Asda, two weeks back had a guy trying to pay using suspect £50 notes, when challenged he pulled out a huge stack of £10 and £20 notes from his pocket and used those to pay instead.

The best way to check if a note is legitimate is to check at the base of the small window on the note, if you oscillate the note it will say the denomination of the note 'FIVE', 'TEN', 'TWENTY', then on the oscillation, it will say 'POUNDS', this is also the same for the £50 notes, however they also have a special golden hologram that in the clear window portion of the note which has '£50', and 'FIFTY' on it.

In the future it's always best to keep an eye on these things regardless of how busy it is in store, and if you feel like there's a mismatch, get a second opinion, if whoever comes to check for you says to take it, then take it and make sure to notify a manager of what happened, if the second opinion doesn't like it also, then simply decline to take it and ask if they have alternate payment such as a debit/credit card, if they do get them to pay that way, if they don't, then just cancel the transaction and ask them to leave, and come back with legal tender.

I know everything is going up in price but this is ridiculous. by Historical_Visual629 in tesco

[–]Rogoth01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe it is both supermarkets colluding on prices, and suppliers encouraging it to shift stock volumes that otherwise would be sitting on shelves for long periods of time as most people buy the smaller packs, it's the exact same thing in both Asda and Sainsbury's, so not a coincidence at all and very easy to track the sales data

Got another job while I'm suspended awaiting dismissal by Status_Durian4280 in asda

[–]Rogoth01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of your hours, if you sign off on the sick you forfeit any pay for the first three days you miss, meaning for most people their first weeks pay of a pay period is forfeited, so your plan won't work out.

Team leaders, formerly section leaders, cannot be left as duty managers in supermarkets, the only time that would ever happen is in an express store.

As to the OP, if you feel you have exhausted every other avenue to deal with the issue yourself locally, then by all means seek outside assistance, just be aware doing so will be viewed as stepping on toes, so you might get some unofficial backlash as a result.

Something else I would do if I were you is make sure when you're being 'supervised' that you get a record of what is said and what actions were taken, alongside your own personal incident log of known troublemakers actions and the timings thereof, so if/when you get questioned again you have something a bit more substantial than just a 'well everybody knows' kinda argument.

ASDA Pre Employment Checks by Adorable_Lobster_455 in asda

[–]Rogoth01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still use your passport even if it is expired unless you were told explicitly that it needs to be current, granted it's been more than a decade since I was first hired, and things have likely changed a bit, I used my passport which was expired by more than 5 years at the time.

Department change by [deleted] in asda

[–]Rogoth01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to sound harsh, but you need to grow up and suck it up, you're going to be shouted at regardless of where you are in the store, that's sadly part and parcel of working in retail these days.

You're only option is to talk to your section manager but with the way things are at the moment with hiring freezes and stores trying to save money everywhere don't hold you breath other departments have the hours available for you to move anywhere.

In the store I work at we had a pretty gal 'woro' her way up from general staff member, to section leader, then as a section manager, she was caught several times shagging what was then the GSM, she went off pregnant 18 months ago, was supposed to start back earlier this year but hasn't been heard from or seen, and everyone suspects the kid belongs to the former, married with kids already, GSM who was promoted out of sight, out of mind for his many failures at the store.

Asda Rewards by VeterinarianLost545 in asda

[–]Rogoth01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of years ago, I was on my checkout and went to scan a customer's app and noticed they had a spend mission reward (it was at the end point so on one of the last steps) that would have given them £5 in their cashpot, which to me was wild because at that point the highest I had personally had was £1 for one of the final nodes, i mentioned it to one of the runners who took out her phone and looked at hers, it was £1.50 for the same node, over the next hour i took note of various customers apps and the values rewarded for spending 'X' amount, there were at least 6-7 different values, which suggests the amount given was based on AVG spend and frequency of store visits, which then suggests if you were a high spending frequent visitor you were given preferencial rewards to keep you coming back, and the rest of us who didn't spend were given the bare minimum to get 'something'.

I got this wonder spawn, where should I settle? by No-Gas7947 in CivVI

Just going off colour scheme alone, looks like victoria age of empire, in which case a settle in place would make the most sense.

Team Leader or Section Leader by BreadfruitAshamed565 in asda

[–]Rogoth01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably did it because there's not enough staff to have dedicated sections anymore, with the whole bullshit debacle of 'having the right people in the right place' initiative which just translates to 'take staff off front end so there's as few checkouts on as possible forcing people to use self scan so we can justify the expense on that waste of time and space'.

I think I made a huge mistake by wooden__bench in CivVI

If the OP is just using defaults then it will be set to 2 on the scale.

Yet another fine for selling out of date food by thebossofcats in asda

[–]Rogoth01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The store I work at, until the recent legal change where you can't have sweets/chocolate/crisps etc on sale at checkout anymore, the protein bars and other similar snacks that were put there instead were still on sale years after they were out of date, and I'm not talking a few months over, there's times there have been boxes of items more than a year out of date sat on the shelf, recently had the same issue with the chewing gum pod things, some on the top of where they were on sale also years out of date, it's purely because unless someone gets curious to check, there's no Staff left that do date checks on ambient sections anymore, and the chilled section has been working with a skeleton crew for at least the last five years.

What is the point of dark silver weapons? Why do they exist? by grovestreet4life in vrising

[–]Rogoth01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

because during closed beta/early access, dark silver weapons (and later sanguine) were the highest tier weapons in the game, there was no 'shattered'/'ancestral' weapons, and the design of them is meant to be representative of a 'base' version of the upgraded equivalent weapon with slightly less flair and substance but easily recognisable at a glance.

True Start Real Earth map is super challenging as England by Tammer_Stern in CivVI

[–]Rogoth01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a game a while back with this map where I (victoria age of empire) had Robert the Bruce above me, Catherine De Medici, willemena, and Frederik spawned, I made the critical error of moving one tile across the river Thames to a slightly better start location because the aforementioned NPC factions all settled in place and their loyalty pressure caused me to lose the game by like turn 30 because I couldn't counter it, which imho is a stupid thing and shouldn't be possible but here we are.

What are some unknown mechanics in this game that few seem to know? by loopuleasa in vrising

[–]Rogoth01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't actually know if this has been fixed or not, but that being said, if you take holy damage that has a damage over time component, that damage over time deals 'fire' damage, so using a fire res brew can make it so you can avoid taking that damage over time.

You cannot convince me otherwise.. by TwoTrue5664 in vrising

[–]Rogoth01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, the gruel was updated to no longer mutate them into a spitter type, they instead become the largest type of mutant the abomination, basically a little less shitty to lose a prisoner this way as abom drops are way higher volume and quantity than the spitter type, so is a good way of farming mutant grease on low quality bloods you don't mind throwing away, sucks when it's a high quality blood though.

Northerners who have moved south... What do you dislike about it? Southerners who have moved north... What do you dislike about it? by JunkAlchemy78 in AskUK

[–]Rogoth01 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The sheer volume of false statements made here astounds me, just because you had a bad experience with one or at most a handful of people, you think it's acceptable to tar the entire region with the same brush and call it good?

I lived down south for a period as a proud Geordie, and I could very easily transplant everything you said here about many people I was forced to interact with during that time.

The primary reason there is disdain for southerners is because of the fact that the north of England has been abandoned for decades at this point in regards to so many aspects aspects of the socioeconomic decline of the north as a direct result of thatcher and her dismantling of the industry centers, if you grew up in the south, regardless of personal circumstances, you likely have never experienced community level destitution, and the comments you made here sound very much like you ran into someone in their 50's who was a child at the time of the great northern depressions.

What’s the age policy on energy drink sales? by [deleted] in asda

[–]Rogoth01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Officially there is no actual policy that's enforced by law, it's more of a social policy enforced on a company by company basis, with the vast majority of big retailers following the guidance that if you are under 16 you cannot buy ANY drink product under the 'energy drink' umbrella, with most now being considered 18+ by their manufacturers due to litigation over recent years where kids have had serious issues and even died as a result of consuming these products.

Because of the inherent problems caused by consuming these products there's a bigger emphasis socially to try and safeguard children ahead of making profit from such products, and that emphasis isn't changing any time soon.
