General Discussion
Yep, I don't have exact details but have been told that staff hours are being increased, so hopefully more staff at peak times. I have always found the Staff there to be very helpful and freindly no matter how busy they are, I certainly wouldn't like to put up with some of the people I have listened to while waiting in the queue there.
Dawlish is having a VERY quiet year financially, just take the trouble to ask local traders. Most local holidaymakers stay in Dawlish Warren so they now shop at Sainsburys. Local 'oldies' not changing their habits!!!!!!!, I know 2 OAPs with cars who now collect neighbours, who used to shop at Co-op, and take them to Sainsburys. Guess where people who work in Exeter shop on their way home. I am ...
Ooops, sorry. I did 'flock back' to the Co-op this morning for some bargain veg as they are selling a load at half price so much cheaper than Sainsburys. But was reliably informed by the Co-op staff that the sell-off was not to compete but that the veg was close to its sell by date as recent sales (since last Wednesday strangely enough) had been very poor. Just think of the bargains that will be ...
I had to laugh at those comments about Sainsburys. This is the classic textbook business managment scene when a new store opens, Mcdonalds, KFC, Tesco, Sainsburys etc. all go through this 'opening' phase. There is no team as most people are newly trained and inexperienced, the people who don't fit in as team players leave very quickly, often after a few days, much to the relief of the managers ...
All I can tell you is I know someone who has a job there and her application was done online, she was told that was the only way to apply so you might care to go to their website and see what you can find or contact them via the site. I do know that references sought by Sainsburys for potential employess had to be sent to Sainsburys HR centre in Manchester, they supplied a prepaid envelope with ...
Sainsburys have done an amazing job with the space, spacious aisles and a good range of products in addition to food and a decent size carpark. There will always be people who want more clothing, some people who want more fesh food, some people will complain there should be more fish and some people just like to complain, you will please some of the people all of the time and ....etc etc They ...
You're quite right 'wondering', Sainsburys will do very well, it isn't a Dawlish store, people I know from Bishopsteignton to Exminster are looking forward to going to a Sainsburys without travelling to Exeter or Torquay, it will draw a lot of customers from the whole area. Being able to go to a major supermarket without the traffic of Torquay or Exeter is the major attraction of this new ...
I shop locally almost every day and haven't spoken to anyone who isn't looking forward to having a local Sainsburys, long overdue. I also know several people who are very happy to have a local job again, especially students who find it almost impossible to get any local part-time jobs other than seasonal work. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, let's just wait and see how busy they are, ...
Orange and T-mobile combined their networks quite some time ago, I often find my phone switching between T-mobile then Orange in exactly the same spot some days. If you set network selection on auto then your phone will switch between them automatically depending on signal strength.
This is what the controversy has recently been about re people becoming homeless due to govt limiting housing benefits. Example is someone I know who pays £625 pm rent and the housing subsidy is £495 pm. This particular landlord has not increased his rent for 3 years as he knows his tenant would struggle to pay the difference if the rent was increased and would look for other accomodation. So ...
