I chose to wear smart casual, i.e, pale blue shirt, work slacks...all by M&S 🙂
I actually walked mainly 'cos with the route being TPT it's very muddy and probably unlikely I could have made it without getting some mud on my trousers even though my bike has proper mudguards.
Now I work there, I'll cycle and just change clothes.
It was 6.5 miles walking each way. Not used it lol. Hip flexors are killing me.
Congratulations - not just on getting the job but for being prepared to do whatever you can to tide you over.
When I was facing redundancy many years ago, was chatting to the manager in the gym (worldwide gym company) who asked what I was going to do, and I said something along the lines of "if I have to I'll stack shelves in Tesco till something comes along".
He collared me on the way out to offer me an interview for a sales role they had coming up purely for having that attitude. Was quite a good job for 12 months till the 4th largest fitness chain in the world went bust.....
Now I work there
I came back to see if there was a happy ending.
Congratulations.
If you're worried about Covid, then supermarket worker probably isn't for you!
If you can just pretend that Covid doesnt exist (whilst abiding by the token Covid secure bollocks) then you'll find things a lot easier.
Also, congrats I guess! I'm 3 months in and hate it!

I think I'm a realist about working in a supermarket again. I did work for the same company 20 years ago as a student. I've also done a little warehouse work in the past too.
Now I work there
Excellent news.
nice one, well done
Great news, well done. I know various people now delivering Tesco’s and stacking shelves to get by. I remind myself daily I’m lucky to have a ‘safe’ job and been largely not impacted by Covid.
Congratulations, fair play on the 13 mile round trip walk! That's enough to get the job alone, never mind the interview!
If you don’t mind PM me that would be great, but I must warn you that I’m a fresh grad in terms of surveying and haven’t done the APC yet.
Done, one of the Warrington roles probably fits.
