    I worked in Waitrose and Sains:

    Sainsbury's: as above discount was 10% most of the year and 15% at christmas and easter. There's some sort of holiday bonus scheme if you did overtime although I was never sure how it worked. I got extra pay for working past 6 on a Saturday, this might have stopped. As a student I made loads of friends there (and gained a boyfriend and uni housemate). Most managers were decent, overtime was there if I wanted it but not forced at all. The bonus was up to 3% I think and depends on how well your store performs. It also does not take overtime into consideration.

    can i ask re the extra for working past 6, was it much do you remember? i remember a note on my pay slips re unsolicitated(sp) hours and dont recall it being much and i did do 2 lates a week
