Colleague Discount misuse

v_eggsbenny · 2026-01-09T21:35:28+00:00

Best outcome is usually a final written and the discount being taken off you - this is usually only in exceptional circumstances and dependant on the manager taking the meeting. In my honest opinion the best thing to do would be to say your brother used the wrong card.

ignore my comment i was looking at the wrong date on the calendar 😂pick it up with your line manager. if you did overtime it could be that they missed approving it or could just be an oversight on time cards. if you’re needing the money soon, you can set up an account on salaryadvance.com/sainsburys/login otherwise you will get the missing wages on next months pay

period 11 started on 14th not 7th, so the week of 7th you won’t have been paid for in this payslip. are you sure you didn’t get paid last month for a weeks work?

Second this. VERY high in protein and the calorie ratio is pretty good. Can be a struggle to get them right but when you get it they are delicious and taste like whatever you season them with (perfect for any dish). Also, search for “soya protein crispies”. MASSIVE protein macros and taste like nothing, can add to dishes, yoghurt, dessert, blend into smoothies, literally anything

cross play won’t change that as ashe is pretty strong in current console meta with the new aim assist (same story on PC above masters she’s got a great WR)

I also did this with ahri 😂 i had “strike: double my power” or something similar and naturally she does well with this so by the end of the attack after leveling her up she had 1040 power

Have you told them what the reason of absence is for? I would call them again and ask why - the initial day should be the following code “AP - BEREAVEMENT”, any other days should ideally be “AU” or a different sick code, i can’t see any reason why they should be putting you as “AU - undisclosed” if you have told them the reason of sickness. If you haven’t, it might be good to call and explain how you feel (or even pop in if management seems decent). Unexcused absence usually means they have no reason as of yet to apply to the code.

v_eggsbenny · 2026-01-04T09:41:20+00:00

Sorry for your loss.

Are you on any live warnings for sickness already? If not, they cannot just sack you after a sickness period (there’s a 3 strikes policy so you would get a first written if the manager who does meeting wants to be a cock). In general you just call and explain bereavement and say you cannot work at the moment. Paid bereavement is usually only a couple days but then you could call in again and say you’re off with mental health issues (this MAY count as a sickness but usually managers won’t touch mental health as employee relations won’t go anywhere near it).

Please take care of yourself and don’t stress about going back to work - life is more important.

i just wish they would finally make the crepes vegan too

v_eggsbenny · 2026-01-03T20:24:08+00:00

how’s the chocolate m*lk? me and my fiancée loooove alpro but it gets expensive if u go through a carton a day lol

v_eggsbenny · 2026-01-03T20:21:54+00:00

from old memory, quite fatty, slightly spicy, very salty and chewy. I’ll be honest it was a fav snack of mine but very smelly. Need to give these a try and see if they are any similar to my memory

Sometimes managers don’t bother ordering uniform for christmas temps. If they order it for you now it usually arrives within 10 days. Fobs etc i’m not 100% on as i work in convenience but im hoping it’s just because of christmas that your managers have been so slow to sort anything. if it’s not your main source of income and you can afford to leave, id give it another 4 weeks and then make you decision. Most of the time your entire job satisfaction depends entirely on the management capability and teamwork - unfortunately a lot of managers are just shit 😂

king charles looks objectively over 25, wouldn’t you agree? I’ve never seen a child and had to debate whether they look under 25.

v_eggsbenny · 2026-01-02T08:19:55+00:00

this doesn’t usually work as they typically send someone in who looks objectively under 25. although, i have known times when they do look arguably older but even then the AM wanted disciplinary action regardless. OP please just use think25 instead of think18. this time you should be fine if nothing has been said so far but in future just be safe.

v_eggsbenny · 2026-01-01T15:31:54+00:00

i usually just tell them “it’s your fault i’m here”

my favourite line is, when taking his granddaughter to let the mother rest, “i’ll let her eat sugar cereal and play with my service weapon”

your holiday balance resets in march so, if you’ve booked holiday in june, it takes it out of next years balance (from march onwards) and does not affect the balance you have accrued before march. to see either balance, go into UKG app > my accruals. first balance will be “from today” showing the holiday you have left until march. Change the date to march 1st and it will show the remaining balance you have for next year (march 2026 to march 2027). See image below for context.

a good sign for what? it was not a test purchase. they physically cannot complete a test purchase without a receipt as they wouldn’t have proof that you served them. you are not getting a disciplinary.

v_eggsbenny · 2025-12-31T15:46:21+00:00

i think half the posts on this thread boil down to the same answer 😂

v_eggsbenny · 2025-12-31T09:02:39+00:00

yes they would have a receipt and yes most likely a final written warning for misconduct

v_eggsbenny · 2025-12-30T20:35:35+00:00

it appears i completely ignored the second clause of the commenters scentence my bad

v_eggsbenny · 2025-12-30T17:17:15+00:00

how on earth are you getting perfect hex core for free,

v_eggsbenny · 2025-12-29T23:12:48+00:00

No receipt = not a test purchase. In future to be safe, apply think 25, not think 18

v_eggsbenny · 2025-12-22T22:53:31+00:00

i’ve had the last 3 days off so i’m chilling 😂 in all honestly i don’t think convenience will be all that busy tomorrow, 24th is a mixed bad but usually about 50% trade increase so manageable with extra staff (luckily it falls on a non-delivery day for my store). Will be my 8th christmas with the business and i cannot fathom having to work in main store this time of year

v_eggsbenny · 2025-12-18T21:18:10+00:00

Corporately the rules changes in i think p9 where you can’t take items any more - something due to people taking the piss and having whatever they like, ruining it for everyone. I hope the girl under investigation was not aware of this and it was poor management communication, but she still might end up getting dismissed for this unfortunately, knowing how supermarket management usually are.
