I’m an international student working at Co-op. I usually work 18–19 hours a week and mostly do closing shifts. My shift is scheduled until 10 pm, but we only close the shutters at 10, and then the remaining closing tasks take another 10–15 minutes.

These extra minutes are not added to my hours or pay. Only twice has my shift been scheduled until 10:15.

I also worked at another Co-op store once where they closed the main doors 15 minutes before 10, finished everything, and we left by 10.

Is this normal at other Co-op stores? What should I do about the extra unpaid time?

Hi, so I was sick for couple of days, and it was my first time taking sick days. I called when I got sick and now I want to return back to work but should I write or call my manager about tomorrow’s shift?
Thank you

I joined Co-op as a Team Member in December and have seen a Team Leader vacancy at another store. The other store has much better bus connections (£1.75 fare and buses all day, including weekends) and is inside London, so the pay is also better.

Can I apply directly even though I only joined in December, or do I need to speak to my current manager first for a referral or approval? Has anyone gone through a similar internal move?

Yes, I've reported it.

applied for job and went for interview on the coop job page it says DECLINED? what does that mean yesterday it was under consideration? other past jobs says not retained this one is only
one that says declined

I've worked at McDonald's since November of last year. I'm good at what I do but I had a look around and noticed all of the retail stores pay over £13.00 when I'm on 10.80, including co-op which is £13.05. the co-op in question is also 25 minutes closer to me. I'm used to having to do a lot of people's jobs & dealing with customers, my main concerns are sorta just how dysfunctional co-op is? At maccies barely anything works and we just deal with it, but we're quite lax with booking days or time off even if unpaid, which is pretty important to me because I have contractual commitments with a sports team and events pop up on almost random dates.

Am I going to be more or less stressed working at co-op? & Also is it lonely? Seems there's only ever one or 2 people on staff

Anyone else noticed a change to the clock-out system? Before it used to ask you if you were working if you stayed beyond your shift ending. Now it records the time and just clocks you out.

Anyone had similar in their shop? Does this mean we get paid when we actually clock out now?

I accepted an offer working as a customer team member a few days ago and I have not yet received a login for my hat which I was told would come by email after accepting my offer, I’m set to start on the 1st of July? How long does this usually take to come through?

went to an interview co-op and they asked for ID????

I never was asked for ID when i went to all my previous interviews for coop and other companies???? is this normal or?? apparently it’s a positive sign but please someone lmk why they need ID?

Hey, I've recently moved, which is making commuting to my current job at a central store a pain, but there's a group store much closer. I'm curious whether anyone has experience moving between societies, whether it's possible for managers to talk to each other, or even whether this experience is considered?

I've done the application, but it looks like I was immediately turned down based on the online personality quiz thing (that felt suspiciously similar to autism diagnostic tests ngl)
