I've been known to re-face shelves when taking stuff off them to buy. It's a very rare thing indeed, but it has happened. No idea why given my own place is still in such a mess and I cba to sort it (going to attack a little corner tomorrow though).

Speaking of mince... I remember when I worked part time in Sainsburys in the meat department, and getting told off by my mum when we went shopping because I kept rotating the correct dates to the front and tidying the mince display.

What I forgot to mention was that I wasn't working there at the time.

Mark · 06-12-2008, 23:03

Thank god I'm not the only one then.

Part of the reason I sometimes re-face is that I'm the bane of supermarkets - I can very regularly be found reaching to the back of shelves to get the stuff that hasn't been sat there for several days.

Panic over Guys & Gals

Went in last night & from the moment I entered the atmosphere was Tons better, Feeling comfortable there now I chirped a cheery Hello to everybody & took nothing back but Happy Greetings.
Turns out only me & one other person are on our section instead of four, we got stuck in & apparently I am A god send

I heard my team leader tell the manager about how just her & that new bloke had done really well & got it All sorted, He really is a God send she said

Within an hour of starting people were passing by Bantering & the whole shift floated by for all.

@Tinkerbell,
You was right mate it does seem that pressure has built up over the period up till now including initially stocking the shop out.
There is a problem though with some of the old Somerfield staff that have been kept on though, To explain I'd type, They are Somerfield fanboyz

It's like Tesco is a 360 & Somerfield is a PS3

A few folk have made a point of stopping & chatting to me & putting me in the picture, One guy especially has been very cool, He's a young chap over our store on relief & he come cross really well & it is through him I have recognised a difference between the old Somerfield staff & old Tesco staff.
Even the Standard shy Dudes have had to talk to me today, There has been No escape

I feel Completely comfortable there & am in a far better frame of mind about the whole wroking exoperience than I was yesterday.

To summarise I think people now know that not only do I want to be there but I am happy to be there so if you are not then Stay the **** away from me

It seems that some of the workers expect you to be miserable about working at Tesco stacking shelves so default to the "I am Hard & don't care" mode. Now that somebody is Openly happy about working there I think it allows others to show a little joy an all, The Mardi ones can go be Mardi on there own

That sounds a lot more like it

So when's your first payday, that's when you'll really feel part of the team

What Loki said!

When I did part time work over Christmas last year at Sainsburys SO many people were absolutely miserable! It was really awful - OK, they were cut out work wise but this was in the day and infront of loads of customers! It was so awful to watch!

So I thought screw it, and went in every day smiling and making jokes and working my socks off and not complaining! People soon warmed up and in doing that I did find some good eggs which were a laugh, making any mundane work very bareable! Plus, due to being happy shiny and la dee dah, customers were always cheery and gave awesome feedback! Made me feel happy

Show them the Malc we know and get them being fun and crazy

Don't make them get you down!

Justsomebloke · 07-12-2008, 09:53
