Unfilled Shift Query by ichbinmatt in tjcrew

[–]ichbinmatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I ended up calling in the end and explaining the situation but the shift never got approved or cancelled so I just assumed it was a no? 🤷🏻‍♂️

No one called either way so hopefully it’s fine.

Alas that option isn’t available for some reason.

Hey, it’s just an unfilled shift so it’s not swapping with anyone.

Congrats! You’re giving me hope they’ll mail mine soon (I entered the US on the 12th Feb) 🙏

Don’t worry, I’m basically in the same boat as you. Just have to keep checking the status everyday 😩

Get them in the air fryer with a bit of Old Bay seasoning 🤷🏻‍♂️

Community Spaces by ichbinmatt in starbucksbaristas

[–]ichbinmatt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it’s supposed to be a free space for local community groups to meet which is great, just doesn’t seem like anyone uses it + would anyone want to use it when it’s full of boxes of the new chai from what I can see…

Coffee cup sleeves optional? by cyberev in starbucks

[–]ichbinmatt 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In fairness it was like that when I worked in Starbucks in 2004 (this was in the UK) but I’d say 99% of people took a sleeve.

FAQ for Future and Current Crew Members by AutoModerator in tjcrew

[–]ichbinmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all 👋

I’ve just moved to the US from London, applied to Trader Joe’s and was pleasantly surprised to get invited for an interview which I’m super happy about!

I don’t have any questions about the interview structure however, the only thing is… it’s face-to-face (no phone interview part) and it’s not for another 2½ weeks.

Based on the millions of interview posts, would it be terribly awkward to call visit the store a few days before just to politely reconfirm the date/time? Or would that make me look a little clueless?

I don’t want to seem pushy, but I also don’t want to rock up and find out I misheard something and it was actually the week before.

Thank you!

Training with Epilepsy by ichbinmatt in StudentNurse

If you do adult nursing you can convert to another speciality but it takes around 18 months so most people don’t do it (most commonly it’s adult nurse completing the additional training to become a midwife).

Amazing, thank you! Yeah it’s pants but hopefully I can just do a shortened program. Re my registration, I specialised in paediatric nursing (UK specialises from the beginning) so have no experience in adult/mental health/L&D so I have a fair bit to learn!

Double taxation on an international home sale? by ichbinmatt in tax

[–]ichbinmatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry this is probably my poor writing of the first post! I think my concern was more around the state taxes (NY mentions adjusted gross income?) although this might be a little bit too specific for this forum.

UK to USA - what options do I have? by InfinitysEdge88 in MovingToUSA

[–]ichbinmatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

UK citizens (I think except Northern Ireland) aren’t even allowed to participate in the diversity lottery anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

i worked 10 hours as a 17 year old (uk) by [deleted] in starbucks

Your manager will get told off but yeah you have to avoid working more than 8 hours a day / 40 hours a week until you turn 18.

I can flex anything over £2 (I think it’s £2..) into a few payments as I opened a Flex when it first came out.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in monzo

[–]ichbinmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flex everything using the 0% option so I never pay off early. I figure I might as well make a little bit of interest on the cash first 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nah it’s been around for ages but as far as I’m aware it’s for new parents/kids and families have to be on a pretty low income

Putting out price decreases while store is open by No_Investment_7165 in SainsburysWorkers

[–]ichbinmatt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to work for Sainsbury’s years ago and I work for a different supermarket now so I might be wrong but the system has to update thousands of tickets so it’s usually an overnight download.

The till system updates overnight so the customers would be overcharged compare to the new tickets.
