My first ‘proper’ part time job, while still at school (The & Fri eve, all day Saturday) was at Fine Fare. Three years I think – plus a summer of Saturdays before went to university. To be honest I’d say it was quite good, regular folk had regular aisles (mine was dog food…) and the tins had to be price stamped (Netto guns I think). Also repriced if prices changed.
The surrounding permanent folk, including the deli and till staff, were pretty good – and the manager and assistant manager were really very good – no sh!t taken, but there was flexibility if needed to head home early or take a shift off – basically ran a pretty tight ship but they’d get stuck in on the floor and unloading cages off the lorry, onto the conveyor, and were a pretty good example of how to manage.
