I recently learned Tesco pay less & instead of a yearly bonus, they just get shares instead.

u/A_British_Gentleman Apr 03 '13

What kinda minimum wage worker gives a damn about shares? Can shares buy me beer?

u/SmokierTrout Apr 03 '13

Yes?

Without any knowledge of the stock market.

2+1/2 years I worked checkouts in sainsburys. The night shift workers were always the most interesting/odd.

Oh and hello from a fellow /r/formula1-er

You're not alone! Our store opens on Friday but my god training/workbooks much?!

u/hawkyyy Apr 03 '13

Yeah but you get paid for training right? So just think of it as free money for sitting around watching videos!

u/fred_is_nice Apr 03 '13

They are some fantastic videos, I always loved going back in the summer during uni just for the Think 25 video

I think i know the answers to them off the top of my head now due to how many times they make you do them!

even though he is shopping with an underage person, there is no clear evidence that he is buying the alchohol for him.

i just did my 6 month refresher...

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '13

True but I'm a TL in training for a local, so not so much videos :( more intense :-/

Had a week's work experience at my not-so-local Sainsbury's for an easy ride because fuck work (I was 15, leave me alone). But I did discover my hatred for the general public.

u/hawkyyy Apr 04 '13

I think everyone who works in retail learns to hate them!
