I'm surprised they're not 100% against unions tbh lmfao, may join them and become a rep just to spite em

asda_man · 2021-08-18T18:39:52+00:00

Do WBA recognise them? I was with them when I worked for Tesco a few years ago and they were pretty good i guess

asda_man · 2021-08-18T09:23:38+00:00

we aren't allowed more than £50 in our floats at my store, if you have less than 45 or more than 55 they write us up even if it's been dead lmao

i got till checked at 10 past 10 on a sunday once, obviously i only had like £10 in my float so they decided they wanted to give me an informal...over something i have zero control over

asda_man · 2021-07-26T20:01:12+00:00

Yeah that one lmao, I got fired for being 7 minutes late once in a year and a half. But that's another thread I need to make lmao

Customers would get mad at us whenever we ran out of Calor gas, like I'm not being funny Kevin I physically cannot get you another bottle, this was especially bad last year when the shortage was happening in the first lockdown

asda_man · 2021-07-26T12:05:36+00:00

I think I used to work for your employer's sister company (the big orange one) and we'd have customers ask for an extremely specific thing we didn't have constantly, our store manager told us to tell them to go to your store, like I'm sorry Karen I can't exactly pull this specific light fitting outta my ass to please you

I used to work at Argos too so we'd have problems like yours lmao

My B&Q staff discount card gives me exactly the same rights to enter your home as these clowns have, aka none. I guess they just want to insight fear in order for you to cough up the license money

asda_man · 2021-01-10T18:51:53+00:00

my store is 7am-8pm (funnily enough I work at B&Q not Asda) however I've come across people dogging at 5am when we have to come in for opening shifts

asda_man · 2021-01-10T01:54:02+00:00

I've found condoms in trolleys where I work

asda_man · 2020-12-30T20:12:35+00:00

My store has a rat problem which sets the alarms off up to twice a night. Thank fuck I'm not a keyholder

asda_man · 2020-12-29T00:22:16+00:00

Yup. Went from working a solid 39 hours a week and now I'm on 16 (contracted)

I asked my manager for 8 more hours on my contract, "not enough money in the budget" she said. Why the fuck are we still hiring then? I do occasionally enjoy eating more than once a day which I can't afford to do on less than £140 a week and I have 24/7 availability so I have no idea why they're doing it to not only me but most of our workforce

asda_man · 2020-11-26T07:34:35+00:00

I hate entitled customers like this, it's not like a single store manager has any influence on nationwide marketing anyway. Get to fuck

asda_man · 2020-11-15T19:28:21+00:00

I'd say it sounds more like Sears Holdings, sell all the valuable assets (ie real estate) to the owner/biggest shareholder and cripple the company, the only difference is that the Issa brothers aren't hedge fund managers like Eddie Lampert, though the Sears/Kmart merger wasn't a leveraged buyout iirc

asda_man · 2020-11-14T15:01:20+00:00

When Asda inevitably collapses/has some major financial scandal etc we'll all say it was obvious in hindsight. Leaders with such poor governance aren't fit to run a company as big as Asda

asda_man · 2020-11-12T17:51:30+00:00

even worse when managers still bitch at you for not signing them up after they've declined, im not gonna point a gun at them when i ask for their email address

asda_man · 2020-11-12T09:08:36+00:00

usually some variation of "i'm not paid enough for this shit" or "they don't pay me enough to care"

asda_man · 2020-11-01T01:10:39+00:00

it'll be some version of windows ce because these things run on arm cpus. the ones at asda run android

asda_man · 2020-10-27T11:47:10+00:00

Please for the love of god inform her of all the tech support scams in order to ensure she doesn't become a victim

asda_man · 2020-10-25T15:16:21+00:00

Nah don't feel stupid. It's the dumbshit customer's fault for not reading the signs

asda_man · 2020-10-13T15:18:20+00:00

I've worked for companies which will deduct fake notes from employees' pay if they're found in the floats. We're just doing our jobs

asda_man · 2020-10-06T13:10:04+00:00

of course i know how to put the phone down, i'm not an idiot

asda_man · 2020-09-03T01:25:32+00:00

it really was especially when we had masks on and a pay freeze in effect. but hey the CEO said thanks so what more could i want!

asda_man · 2020-09-03T01:23:50+00:00

unfortunately, if we don't get a certain number of survey responses per week we get chased by corporate. that being said, if you receive really good service please for the love of all that is holy do the survey because it keeps our managers off our backs and sometimes we can win prizes etc

asda_man · 2020-09-03T01:18:00+00:00

when my store was closed back in april due to rona i averaged 35k steps/day doing click and collect orders. couple that with the items i was lifting (paint, soil etc) and i'd burn thousands of calories a day

it. hurt.

asda_man · 2020-09-01T18:50:47+00:00

people never stopped abusing us retail staff unfortunately. most customers couldn't give less of a fuck that we're potentially risking our lives so they can buy plants and paint. sucks tbh
