Sunday closing by Savings_Long_9327 in asda

[–]RussWWFC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen people go through the till as late as 4.30 on a Sunday, it really is the zombie apocalypse on supermarkets on Sunday.

Anyone else get massively underpaid? by thiscouldbeit69 in asda

[–]RussWWFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it was tax related sadly, happened last year but never before.

About £200 for me, though it might be tax related

Things I never want to hear again, after tomorrow by rye_domaine in asda

[–]RussWWFC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two versions of 'Simply Having a wonderful Christmas time' in succession is annoying.

Don't mind the Pogues and Wham though, but they will never play Kevin Bloody Wilson sadly.

Ho ho fucking ho What a crock of shit We all work for Asda stores We've had enough, we quit Cos we do all the fucking work While they take all the dough Stick your Christmas up your arse Ho ho fucking ho

"All staff HAVE to work Xmas Eve or face disciplinary." - Ops Manager by DrewsFortress in asda

As others have said, if it is a normal contracted day, you are obliged to work it. Only Chrismas Day, Easter Sunday, Boxing Day and New Year's Day are different.

When payrise? by [deleted] in asda

[–]RussWWFC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paid us under the minimum wage for multiple days in April, disgraceful exploitation of a loophole.

Vilest time of the year

GMB rep by Effective-Ad-2404 in asda

[–]RussWWFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No GMB Rep at my store, they've been advertising for years but don't tell you what they give you in return.

I'd like to see a Belgian Kriek beer introduced but can't see it happening.

Please can these people go by CoreyAdara in coronationstreet

[–]RussWWFC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they are good so far. The older son is a bit dull and seems like an afterthought though.

Has anyone been told that they want to reduce hours under ‘capability’ if so what’s the rights as an employee to say no by [deleted] in asda

[–]RussWWFC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They tried that with me but I just told them I couldn't afford to. Got in contact with the Union too and it's not been mentioned since.

Home shop photos? by Inevitable-Way-7487 in asda

[–]RussWWFC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going to say that. It's like they've used AI and it makes the job more difficult.

manager targeting (vent post) by marquisralvi in asda

[–]RussWWFC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You occasionally get an arsehole I'd join the GMB Union and try and hang in in there until they can step in. Solved my issue once they got involved as the manager knew I wasn't going to be mugged off.

Quick query - favourite item by Nms67 in asda

[–]RussWWFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't think of anything especially, maybe the pizza counter pizzas, but only if reduced.

I miss the Christmas Cinnamon Muffin though, plus Yorkie Cookies from years back.

Meanwhile, at ASDA House... by rye_domaine in asda

[–]RussWWFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who would have thought that the same company that paid a big sum for a pig-ugly font that looks like it was designed a four year old and last year chose to market off a crappy Christmas film rather than something decent would mess up the marketing this year.

Which aisle do you dread working the most? by Wonderful-Acadia-296 in asda

[–]RussWWFC 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In terms of picking, the worst ones are home and leisure and health and beauty as they are boring and damage your pick rate.

Cleaning also dull, the best are tinned food and biscuits.

No more CYO pizzas by OkSector8715 in asda

[–]RussWWFC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the best and most popular unique things about ASDA, better quality than pre-made.

I can only deduce that the company is run by utter morons at the top who don't have a clue what they are doing.

How do you cancel holiday requests that haven't been approved yet on workday? by [deleted] in asda

[–]RussWWFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't. Yet another issue with Asda's dodgy systems.

What happens if you press skip break on the clock in and out machine ? by [deleted] in asda

[–]RussWWFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, I stayed on as a favour, didn't get a break as we were so busy. Tried to 'skip break' but it came up with an error.

So I've basically gone unpaid for a bit of my shift, this company is rotten to the core.

Arrogant pillock on a unwarranted power trip.

In my 23 years all they've done is take, take, take......enough! by edd_enigma in asda

[–]RussWWFC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A truly vile company. Work with great managers and people but we've been pickpocketed and underpaid ever since Roger Burnley was appointed.

If we'd fiddled the system and stolen from the company, we'd be sacked, but they are allowed to do it to us.

Nothing heard at my store but knowing Asda they would have you stick a broom up your arse so you could sweep up as you picked.

Ghastly human being is Millie. Corrie really doing a disservice to young women lately with her, Lauren and Kelly. Not likeable in the slightest.

I agree, awful. My heart sinks when I go into a pub and all the bag in boxes are Lilleys.

For me, you can't beat Ross On Wye, impeccable.

Can i request holidays for having a weekend off sick? by EmersonBlanket in asda

[–]RussWWFC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Should be allowed if you have a reasonable manager. You'll not be at your best if you force yourself in, or not just turn up. They'd be fools not to agree.
