r/Morrisons

I've recently moved, and there's a big Morrisons nearby. Never shopped in one before - do they do anything great that I should look out for? Tips on what to avoid are also welcome.

To put into context. I’m basically a full timer and I cover all frozen deliveries on nights and they throw someone else on it whenever I’m off.. it’s a shambles when I come back from my nights off to find it destroyed by the person who worked it before. How many people currently work the department at your store or do they just throw any bill and ben on it to get it worked?😭😭

Why do the stores use Usdaw and not Unite as Unite ? Why do they deserve better pay and better deals ?
I know we work just a hard as them .
What’s the difference.
Our store would fall on its ass some days without reliable staff .
Like seriously fail .
Why do they think we are the worth less worthless,get it ,lol.

Hundreds of warehouse and logistics workers in Cheshire and Yorkshire are celebrating today (Monday 17 June) after accepting new terms and conditions from supermarket chain Morrisons that sees them claim victory in an industrial dispute over pensions, pay and working conditions.
 
The workers had been taking part in strike action over proposed changes to their pension contributions that would have left them hundreds of pounds a year worse off. Additional issues surrounding pay and conditions have also been the subject of the dispute.
 
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "This is a great win for our members at Morrisons and shows the real power of a union in the workplace. I'm delighted they have achieved their goals and that the supermarket has seen sense and come up with an acceptable outcome.”

Following a ballot on the new offer from Morrisons workers will contribute the same amount as presently towards their pension, ensuring their financial stability. Further improved benefits include a new Service Award scheme which will pay up to £350 for long-service milestones. 
 
From 1st July 2024 a nine per cent increase will be applied on all rates of pay including weekend incentive premiums and freezer allowance with the existing additional anti-social hours shift pay maintained. Unite has also forced Morrisons to conduct reviews of "pick rates" and job roles in a transparent manner and with full union involvement.
 lol

Have just had my overtime cancelled for tomorrow. This has happened many times but this really pissed me off today. Asked if they could originally move that shift as I had a personal thing to take care of, told they couldn't move it and I had to cancel that, now they've cancelled the shift with 1 day notice.

Is this legal? I know overtime can be cancelled at their discretion but surely if its put on the published schedule then there must be some restriction on cancelling the shift. Obviously if I turned up they couldn't cancel the shift one minute before I started for example. Seems like it would be at least 24 hours notice. Any help?

hi this is my first full month at morrisons but i still don’t have access to my mymorri account so i can’t see the dates of anything and i was just wondering when the next payday was ? i need to budget lol

I've seen things about the pay increase recently, but it doesn't specify if it's for all or just those in the big stores. Although it's not much, any increase is better than not.

I can’t believe I haven’t heard / seen more people talk about how crazy it is how they do their breaks at Morrisons. Making colleagues start at quarter past the hour so they don’t get to have a longer break 💀 9:15-5 (15 min only) 10:15-6 (15 min only) it’s crazy! How are they allowed to do that since, it says on the gov website if you work 6 hours or more you’re entitled to 20 mins uninterrupted!! 😭

Hi all, this is very recent since I've been with morrisons, but I'm a home delivery driver. I was supposed to be on a 4pm-10pm but it has become more of an occurrence that there's just no routes in the evening at that time. So I'm stuck for 6 hours in the delivery hub. But today, they made me stock shelves around the store, and I'm just not happy with it entirely as I have zero experience with this (and is not my job description LMAO)

Is this common elsewhere?

I got a possible job offer working in the oven fresh department, what would I be doing in this department?

Hi I’ve just been offered a job by a different company and can’t wait to leave Morrisons but obvs have to work a notice, does anyone know how long the notice is? Thankyou

Aside from the sewage that keeps flooding the car park from their pumping station leading to unsanitary conditions and causing potholes everywhere, the shop is just really poorly run.

There’s never enough staff on the checkouts and today, when I’ve used the self service because the queues were too long, found one of the staff to be incredibly rude when trying to get some help because a voucher wouldn’t scan. Firstly she tried to tell me it’s because the voucher is only valid up to the 15th so was out of date. So I had to show her the date on my phone so she would accept today was indeed the 15th.

Then she said that it’s because it was for the 15/05/26….so I had to point out that May is the 5th month. Then she told me it’s because I used a different More card. I only have one More card. At this point she just said there’s nothing I can do and walked off.

Since the refurbishment this store has just been poor. I often get stuff home and find it’s out of date, the car park and sewage issues I reported almost 18 months ago but they haven’t been addressed, now add in poor staff behaviour and it’s become a boycott job for me. It’s a shame as it’s my closest supermarket but if I’m spending £180-£240 a week, I’d rather go to Lidl, Aldi or Tesco now and not be exposed to sewage or unhelpful staff.

I ordered through Morrisons now and it was meant to arrive about an hour and a half ago, I called the number on the app and was told because it wasn’t picked/collected within 90 minutes my order will be cancelled over night and my money refunded is this right? And why is there no way to see that my order wasn’t coming or would be cancelled or that if it isn’t done within 90 minutes it would be cancelled unless I missed something?

So 91.87% voted for a 10p an hour pay rise

I've handed my notice in and am currently working through my notice period with my final day being Sunday but I just don't want to go back and finish my notice period. Can I just not turn up? Will I still get paid for the shifts I have done this month?
