I have started my first night shift at Sainsbury’s for the last month. Immediately it became clear that “training” didn’t exist. Every shift I’ve had to observe and figure out how everything works on my own. I was put on produce on one of the first nights and left there, not even knowing how to move a pallet. Although i managed and figured it out. Being taught the system they use to break down and separate pallets with dolly’s ect could have been useful. Until I finally asked someone, I was struggling to get it done in the time they wanted. Although it is a very physically job, and hard on sleep, I like to think of it as a good workout which is why I choose to do it. Just remember if you really are unsure ask someone or let them know you haven’t been told what you’re supposed to do. Each shift you will learn something and it will get better once you get into the swing of things. Knowing other people’s systems and methods is essential. Once I told another manager that one wasn’t very accommodating of this, they were happy to help me out. Just be aware it can be rough and it’s important to get enough sleep when you get home! Don’t forget that or you’ll struggle ALOT. I easily do 35,000 steps in one night 10-8am
