How long do you usually wait to hear back from Sainsuburys and Tesco after putting in an application?
I've applied to both as i left my job and need something stable and convenient, also the wages aint too bad really.

If you can walk and talk they will take you in any of the shops; The wages are so crummy tho marely above NWW. And to be frank they treat their staff pretty poorly , I worked in a Sainsburys and they were so nit-picky about time-keeping that I left. and sadly the work is mind numbing. Its worth giving it a try though as where you work and the people you work with can really make light of the day.

what sort of wages are we talking about here?

and where do supermarkets advertise their jobs? anyone know please

also, anyone who's work(ed) in aldi, is it true that you have to memorise all the prices? i heard this years ago, as they were paying checkout operators over £7ph, and that was before a min.wage was introduced, i was told that you have to be some sort of mathmatical genius, were they joking?:D

Its not as hard as it sounds when you are working with the items for extended periods of time, and its not like they'll chop your hands off for forgetting one. If its anything like other supermarkets they have a list of less common codes on a sheet beside the till but you are expected to memorise the ones that get used multiple times a day.

You dont really need experience to work in retail, all you need is to be able to learn new skills, have the ability to work as a group, youll get training anyway

You dont kneed to remeber the prices at aldi anymore we have updated to scanners.You need to be 18 to apply and the pay atfer 3 months trial with bonus can be up to £8.50.Everyone gets the same bonus because we all work hard.
