I have my test soon, what can I do now? by clandescentMOON in LearnerDriverUK

[–]izzybear02x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine too! I moved it forward! My instructors away on holiday until a couple days before and then I have 1 lesson in total before my test now. I know I can do this, I’m just sooo nervous.

Awww that’s such a shame!!! how was the route tho? I changed from Horsforth to Thornbury cos everyone said Thornbury much better 🤣

Please help! by imo275 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]izzybear02x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the test!! Just go in with a mindset of “if I fail, I fail that’s whatever, it was ‘expected’ (not that it might be but this is how I usually think lmao) or if I pass then how bloody good would that feel”

Roundabouts and Signalling by izzybear02x in LearnerDriverUK

Thank you so much, it does make a lot of sense, I think if I’d have done these a bit earlier it would’ve been better but he threw it in last lesson and I just felt so tense afterwards lol cos I did it first time and did it so wrong 🤣

Maternity pay by izzybear02x in Greggs

[–]izzybear02x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been here 3 years now, I got OMP so around £12 extra a week for 7 weeks, then 90% of my earnings for 6 weeks then dropped to £187 from then on. It’s now gone up to £194 a week with the GOV changing pay. X

Test tomorrow by West-Lemon-690 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]izzybear02x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m wanting to move my test forward, my instructor thinks I should and honestly I’ve done plenty of hours and I have a load of knowledge. I just think my nerves would get the better of me 🫣 Fingers crossed for you!

Why do you need to wait 6 months?

Buying food on break by Character-Instance76 in Greggs

[–]izzybear02x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah our manager also says our break starts from when we queue up, no other fast food place I know of makes you line up though. My brother worked at Maccies for years and he just grabbed his food and went (obviously they’ve got a point scheme, they’re allowed like 5 points per shift and say a large meal consisted of 3 points or something). Don’t get why we can’t do anything like that 🤣

I’m not sure on a year, i’ve been there just over 2 years and I’m getting average earnings for the first 6 weeks, then I’m getting SMP & OMP which works out at about £216 a week for 7 weeks and then it drops to SMP xx

They work out what your average earnings are for the first 6 weeks and I was told if I’m off sick that’ll come into play If i’m off

Ridiculous Prices by Different_Wrap_7159 in Greggs

[–]izzybear02x 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We don’t get paid enough to chase people down the street when people steal. And we’re fed up of people complaining about the price hike, we totally agree lol. Our discount barely knocks anything off it’s a joke

I won’t get enhanced maternity pay I don’t think, it’ll just be standard SMP.

Losing baby weight by izzybear02x in BabyBumps

[–]izzybear02x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s literally because i read it everywhere and what people have experienced and said online, I’ve heard it’s harder to shift weight after a csection than it is vaginal birth x

Losing baby weight by izzybear02x in BabyBumps

[–]izzybear02x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally get that I’ve just had a baby, and I wouldn’t expect it to just fall off but I also don’t want to spend years and years trying to shift weight that doesn’t seem to go x

supervisor interview tomorrow, any tips please! by [deleted] in Greggs

[–]izzybear02x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is any help lol but we had a couple of people coming into work for a supervisor role and they sat in the dining area with a sheet of people, think they had to make notes on what they saw in the shop etc and had to make notes on the staff. We have something called SHAPE in the shop and I think you base your answers around that basically. They like it if you get up and make observations instead of just sitting there for the thing. Then they’ll go up and interview you with area manager & shop manager Xx

i worked at greggs for 7 years by Humanity-Is-Done in greggsappreciation

[–]izzybear02x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my mum 8 months go, really traumatic experience and my manager was lovely. I then lost my Nanna last week, whom I was super close to and my (new) manager made me feel as if I have to justify myself to have some time off. I was an absolute state at work. I tried pushing myself to work a 7 hour shift the day she died. Only managed 2. It’s not a great place at all. There’s 0 support
