    Use it to gain valuable experience, then bang-in an application to Aldi. They start on £8.00 p/hr and use the likes of ASDA, Tesco and Sainsburys to provide them with trained staff.

    As someone who did an interesting HR-related project with Aldi once upon a time...

    It isn't a job for someone with a poor mentality, or someone who looks at how to get the most for the least effort. It's the kind of job where you will be expected to work hard for the entire shift, where you must be proactive and get the job done. They don't accept excuses, and it's certainly not the kind of place where you can expect sympathy and hugs (and tea) if you're having a bad day.

    The books are sitting just there on the floor.

    Thanks for all the replies and advice. I am a mature student so this is just a temp job for me until I graduate but with Christmas coming I was hoping to earn a bit more than I do at the moment - maybe I'll have to volunteer for a night shift! As my budget is quite tight (have a family as well as being a student) I had worked my Christmas budget out on the basis that in my current job I will get paid on 23 December. Anyone know how/when Asda staff get paid? If it's going to be after Christmas I may have to re-think my plans to leave current job anyway :-(
