Hi, everyone
I’m starting as a Nights Manager now next week and was just wondering what are the working hours for a night manager within Asda? I was previously a shift leader for Tesco and our hours were 10-7. Thanks in advance
I work for a relatively small store around 300-400 staf as a home shopping delivery driver we only have around 20 drivers. We deliver anywhere between say 10-30 drops a day each 5 drivers in 1 shift and have 2 waves. i was just curious as to how many drops a day a delivery driver does in larger stores do and do you get unfair runs where some days a driver might only have 3 or 4 drops on one wave where as a different driver might have 12 13 + drops. It does equal its self out because most the time its never the same driver but when it happens to me always feel bad for the other's who have twice 3 times the load of mine.
I have worked in Asda front end for about a year and a half. When i first started i was trained on the CSD, and would cover breaks and occasionally help out with queues.
Recently, for the past month and a half, I have been placed on CSD for my entire shift including closing. Now i’m 20 years old, and possibly not the most confident person, in terms of standing my ground and dealing with difficult customers.
The main CSD colleagues in my store are all older women, and are very skilled and can stand their ground. But a lot of them are very lenient.
It is quite frustrating for me due to customers knowing this and coming to me expecting refunds. For example, this lady came in the store with over £300 of baby clothes that she claimed was a gift, and due to this didn’t have a receipt. I replied by saying unfortunately due to the high value of this return i would need proof of purchase to take the items back. More so because I don’t want it to come back to me. I genuinely couldn’t give a shit about it 😂.
Anyways, she got very rowdy and said one of my colleagues had taken back £100 of clothing and did an exchange without receipt for her, and said it was unacceptable that i wasn’t taking it back. I understand it’s frustrating being left with a whole load of clothes that don’t fit when they were gifts. But surely you wouldn’t think that is feasible?
Could I bring this up to manager/ section leader to maybe have a word with the other CSD colleagues about being so lenient on returns? especially for clothing. don’t get me wrong, i take quite a lot back as well, usually as long as it’s under £25 with no recipe, more so because you don’t have to write it up lol.
This is a part time job while i’m at uni, so it’s not a big deal, but at the same time i’m a worrier and my anxiety is sky high every-time i’m on the CSD. So some back up from everyone else would be nice 😂
This is your weekly space to vent about whatever has happened this week at ASDA.
Be it customers, colleagues, managers, or the latest from Asda House - post about it here!
^(Please remember to follow the sub rules and be nice to one another. Don't post anything that could identify you or your specific store if you wish to remain anonymous.)
So i have recieved a voucher for 5p off of every ltr. But none of the pay at punps around me have a way of scanning barcodes & no QR codes or anything. With the price of petrol at the moment, this would have been helpful 🙄😭
Hi, I got hired with Asda only just this week and I need to complete new starter tasks before I get a start date.
However, I can't seem to get onto Workday at all as I got sent two emails with username and password, was told to put the password in and then ill get prompted to reset it. I do this and I get an error message saying that it's 'Unable to process request'.
I've tried clearing my cache, using different browsers and nothing, and this is the day after I got sent the emails, and I couldn't get on yesterday, too.
Anyone had the same issue and are there solutions?
I haven't had my induction yet, and I've not heard a date. I don't have any contact details from anyone. I was just rang up Friday saying I've passed the interview, told to log onto the asda careers website and do the tasks (basic info) over the weekend and then got sent the details for workday yesterday
So with the football on tonight and how short staffed most stores are now. Bound to have people call in sick and i would imagine there will be a few. Has anyones store actually done anything to pre emt this and actually put on more people?
Had 45ish minutes the other day to clock in, walk across store, collect paperwork/keys, do my van check, drive it round to the yard, and then load the van. To me that felt quite tight and although I was able to get it done and leave a few minutes early, it was one of those shifts where I couldn't build time and was just trying to catch up all day. Have had even shorter times before where they expect the van to leave within 30 mins of me starting.
How long do you like having to do all of this before leaving store?
Hi all I hate wanted to know how does a store transfer work exactly? Like I have signed the new contract from a new store but what responsibilities does my old store have? Or do they have to send me off?
Hi guys,
I’m a university student who moved away and changed their contract to seasonal. I waited for them to contact me to update me on what shifts they wanted me to work over Christmas and they chose to leave it until the last second by which point I’d already made plans relating to a family member’s care so I said I couldn’t. I didn’t reach out prior to this as I assumed the radio silence meant that they didn’t need me (maybe a bit stupid of me?). They haven’t contacted me since. I went to check my HMRC app to see that my employment ended with them at Christmas, but I received no information about this? Surely this is wrong of them to do?
Anybody else’s stores enforcing new rules about phones and tils opening?
we were told last night that only management are allowed their phones on shop floor so we are no longer allowed to listen to music and to keep our phones in our lockers and also told that they are no longer opening the tils at 12 for staff to buy lunch and that if we want to buy lunch we have to do so when the store is open
Does anyone know what to do when do gap scan stock wise let's me log in , but when I try get on browser to connect to printer it keeps going back to log in screen
Does anyone know how I can change my work email?
Edit
I realised I should've been clearer, I mean the email I use to log into stock wise, store assist, workday etc..
I had a legal name change a few months ago and changed it on workday, it shows on there and when I clock in/out, so I'm just wondering if it's a matter of changing the email or getting a completely new email address really.
Thanks all
I didn't fake this.
It's happening a lot now.
Solidarity. I’ve done an analysis on Morrisons for my substack. Goes without saying the troops in stores are not to blame……
How do I increase my pick speed? I had my one month review thing and found out that it’s at 76.3💀 my manager said I gotta get it up to my target (123) by the end of next week or I won’t be able to keep my job. It’s th first time I’ve been told abt the speed Am I cooked.
I have a question, I’m yet to find anyone who knows the answer so any insight would be appreciated! I’ve asked all the people above me in store and no one has a clue.
on one Asda there is cinema discount, you buy the ticket you want for whatever location and how many (adult, child) and that’s it. How does this work when you then go to the cinema? Do they scan it and you just go to any film? any help would be appreciated!
One of my colleagues wife passed away and obviously he has taken some time off, he only works Saturday & Sunday late shifts (Driver) he’s returned and told ASDA he will struggle to work weekends now due to childcare and requested a few mid week shift’s they have gave him 1 week to make a decision. Work the weekends or leave. No sympathy whatsoever from the company. What’s everyone’s thoughts on this?
So, ever since ive moved from ambient to being a delivery driver as well as moving store. Ive never fell so chilled out at work and not stressed out at all. Aye some days can be harder than others but its just luck if the draw. It might just be me, but I actually do like my job.
Just wondering if anyone else has a good experience with asda or is it just all bad, used to work in b&m and in my opinion thats a shit show compared to asda
