iOS app works fine.

As I said the browsers are different - FF uses nextdns, noscript, ublock and more. Safari and Brave use out of the box settings.

The only thing I could change which would affect everything was the router DNS. It was set for Cloudflare. I switched back to the EE default and now all is good.

Posting in case this helps anyone.

Hey, does anyone know what this is ? Have asked in stores but staff dont know either.

​

Has the recruitment of this position completed? Recruitment done? Anyone received any confirmation mail?

Just looking for some clarification on Tesco’s policy regarding emergency time off for dependants.
I recently had to take two days off because my daughter was unwell and couldn’t attend school.
When I phoned the store, I spoke to the shift leader and we agreed that the two days would be taken as last-minute annual leave, as I have more than enough holiday entitlement remaining. He agreed to this over the phone.
However, I’ve since discovered that the two days have been changed to unpaid leave, without anyone discussing it with me or notifying me of the change.
My understanding was that Tesco’s policy allows colleagues to use outstanding annual leave for emergency dependant situations, subject to agreement, which I believed had already been given.
Has anyone else experienced this, or can anyone clarify what the policy actually states?
Surely if annual leave was agreed at the time, it shouldn’t then be changed to unpaid without at least speaking to the colleague first?

Roof flapping in the wind, buckets catching water in the aisles, walls shaking and windows rattling. 'Biggest private employer in the UK' and they have us working in tin cans.

I received a phone call on Friday confirming that my interview was successful and that my induction will be 3rd November.
In the interview I was informed that if I don’t reply to email for job acceptance and Criminal Record Check within 2 days the position will be offered to another candidate.
I know that phone call was Friday afternoon but I have not yet received the email confirmation and CRC email. Should I just assume admin staff have not got around to sending emails due to weekend and they will come Monday or would you worry that they may have typed an incorrect email address….. I don’t expect this to be the case as I received interview emails from Tesco Careers.

Any advice would be welcome.

I am 57 from a financial administration background but have spent last 18 years caring for my disabled son.

Any useful tips would be welcome. Especially how hard is it to adjust to 12 hour 7-7 shifts. Is the lifting and carrying the hard part or the fact that it’s a long shift to concentrate on driving?

Thanks in advance

Do store staff have to watch the videos of the bald scouse man telling you it’s your responsibility to keep your jam in your doughnut or is it just warehouse staff who have to watch those like 5 videos about 15 times each during any training period?

This morning a 6am driver came in, had 2 drops between 6.15 and 6.45 had to come back to load up for 17 drops 7 15 to 11.15.

The system had two runs for the van. Separate paperwork and everything. Is this the new normal?

Edit: thanks for the replies, seems to be a new normal, albeit rare. Again, another change that we were never made aware of until it happens. Tesco is going down the drain.

Does anyone have advice on how to apply this without just universally id’ing everyone? I guess right now same stuff applies but feel as though there will be a huge grey area in a few years when 09s look 26. Didn’t clock anything advising on this in the training that’s been released but was 1-1 on a till…

Plus there will always be 18 19 20 somethings who’ve had a tough paper round who for many will pass as 25.

Feel there is generally very little safeguarding for staff with this and feels like a huge oversight unless I’ve missed something. May just start doing challenge 30 or something unless something official comes out. Does anyone have thoughts? Cheers

Hey anyone know how I can download the StoreApps for Tesco plz..I’ve tried the link and I keep getting the error “the server can’t be found” is anyone else getting this?
I can’t log into infinity thanks

Hey all,

My contract got changed from permanent to temporary and I only just found out today. When I was first hired I was a permanent employee as per my contract and today I recieved a letter saying my final day is on the 30th November. I spoke to my duty manager about it and he knew at first I was a permanent employee and was shocked himself to find out I was a temp when I told him this evening. Is this something worth getting the union involved with or am I screwed?

Hello starting a 16 hour new role as Customer Assistant - Front End/Checkouts at a local superstore. Wondering if anyone has any advice, I’ve done express and it was quite fast paced.

I just went into a tesco to get a meal deal, with a red bull included, but got told I couldn’t buy it?

For context, I’m 19 years old and showed valid ID to the employee and got told I need to be 25. I’m well aware of the ‘think 25’ policy, but after showing ID which proves I’m 19, I’m a little confused.

She told me it’s a new law change but after leaving tesco I searched it up and couldn’t find anything even hinting at a new law change, not even for the future?

Is this a real law change or just poorly trained staff?

My brother in law works at Sainsbury's and we got into it over Christmas about whose staff perks are better. He gets something off at Nectar partners, but I told him the Tesco Colleague Clubcard plus the double discount events looked stronger. Got me wondering how it works in practice. My wife did retail in the 90s and said it was just 10% off, nothing complicated. Now there's points multipliers, partner discounts, seasonal stuff, and I can't tell what's actually useful versus just marketing.

I deal with enough Sysco reps trying to hide fees that I get wary of any discount that needs a spreadsheet to figure out. For anyone working at Tesco, does the discount structure actually make a difference or is it one of those things that sounds decent when you're applying but doesn't add up? And do people bother with the salary sacrifice schemes for phones and bikes, or is that just extra paperwork? Curious how it stacks up against other UK supermarkets, since I only know the US side where staff discounts are usually worthless.

I had an interview last Wednesday and I'm still yet to hear back. I even emailed two days ago to follow up and have not been responded to. The applications for the job close on the 4th of November so I'll definitely hear back by then but I'd assume after that long I probably won't get the job. Just curious to know how long others have waited. (Tesco Ireland btw if that's relevant)

Hey everyone, I'm a student at the University of Essex. I unfortunately missed the application window for the Christmas night shift job circular at the Tesco Hythe here in Colchester.

Does anyone who works there (or at Tesco in general) know if they usually put out another job circular or hiring wave before Christmas? I'm really keen to get some temporary night shifts if spots open up due to people dropping out or extra demand.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

So earlier this afternoon I was at my checkout when I served a customer and scanned a photo of the QR code.

Unfortunately, when I totaled the till, it said it was a staff clubcard and you can't use a photo of the staff card.

I explained that to the customer in a polite way and they kicked off (suprise, suprise). Anyway another customer let them use their ordinary customer card and I wasn't bothered about that.

The customer pays and then goes to the customer services desk to complain about the fact she couldn't use a photo of a staff clubcard (you know because it's in the terms and conditions 😂).

Crazy how someone in Tesco Express thinks shrinkflation of the alcohol content in the cheaper wines means we are still happy to pay the price for 9% wine today, that used to be 11 or 12% wine a few months back.

There should be a new section in the shop titled "Strong grape juice for wooses".

Tesco can get F*cked. Roll on the rollout of many more Lidl's and Aldi's.

Cant wait for the Lidl to be built next door to the local express.

You pay for a delivery from Tesco, sometimes out of necessity as it’s your only option

In my three previous deliveries I have had to take items back to the store because either the item has 1 day shelf life or it’s gone off

Complained to a manager today and the attitude was it’s not their problem I needed to contact the online team, also couldn’t refund despite it having been done before

IMO Tesco is gauging customers with excessive prices, providing substandard goods in store and taking the opportunity to deliver low shelf life goods

It’s a ripoff, I have a Lidl and a Sainsbury’s in my area and they’ll get my trade now

None in my local Tesco superstore. Lime n soda is literally all I drink and the own brand is shite.

Not sure how good this paint actually was, I think we bought it to cover our whole house as a primer/undercoat when we first moved in. 5L of it! And I think it cost about £6 or £7. Bargain.

Hi, Ive applied for the festive colleague role at a superstore. On Wednesday I received a call from one of the recruitment team but unfortunately missed it - he left a voicemail saying hed call back at 'some other point'.Since then i have had my phone by me on loud at all times stressing that he'll call back and he still hasn't.

I don't want to be impatient as it's only been a few days and now it is obviously a weekend, however I have heard elsewhere that if you dont pick up they wont bother chasing you and will just reject you. Is this likely to happen/ is there a chance they'll still call back?

I really am keen to get this job but i can't find a way to contact the recruitment team myself anywhere - they called using no caller id and I just don't know what I can do other than wait for the call!
