I thought that it must be somewhere like that. I went on holiday there once, and it was lovely and warm that summer. I would not like to go there in the winter.

So 1500 jobs wasted next year and 3000 to go this year. This is one of the chains that opened up lots of little stores and Killed many independents. Of course this in nothing to do with self service tills.

The changes are part of a cost-cutting plan, but recent tax rises for businesses have also been a factor.

They all do it to some extent now. Sainsburys is just more blatant in their "you get the normal price with a card and pay extra without" ways, while many of the other supermarkets still have an actual discount for card users and leave the regular price alone.

They closed the cafe at the sainsburys near me about 2 years ago. Then a new cafe was opened 6 months later called the "food hub" or something like that but the old one was better. (Edit - i think the new cafe is run by another company so not sainsburys staff)So 1500 jobs wasted next year and 3000 to go this year.

Look how the state broadcaster are endorsing the corporate use of tax increases to justify their labour shedding. The corporate retailers won't be happy until they've removed as much in-person labour as they can.

Shuffled it on to the consumer, who still only sees food prices rise and rise

Endorsing? Just reporting it, surely.

Yep, there was a good Sainburys cafe in the New Cross shop that was great for pots of tea and ordinary coffees. Was replaced by bloody Starbucks which I wouldn't know how to use even if I was prepared to pay twice what the old cafe charged.

Hopefully I and my colleagues are not going to be affected.
Our cafe and hot food counters closed during covid and never reopened so thankfully we shouldn't be looking at redundancies.
However we are, like so many other stores I'm sure, almost at breaking point in regard to staffing. We have too much work for the number of staff as it is and the way we are asked by corporate to distribute the work, particularly in regard to certain procedures, is exacerbating this.
It's just a constant papering over cracks at the moment.
I'm hoping that means the people who face losing their jobs may be able to keep transfer in a different area of Sainsbury's but I'm not sure

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit."
Working for a different big supermarket but exactly the same issues....am pretty sure that the constant squeeze over that last few years is what has lead to my current issues....working so hard, more and more extra hours, constant piling on of extra tasks...my back finally said enough is enough ! Hope you will be ok QOG xxxHopefully I and my colleagues are not going to be affected.

was told by someone in the know about why they all do this...Sainsbury's share price went up at the same time as they announced redundancies

So many particulars. So many questions.
I clean sainsbos kettering five mornings out of 7. Can't get rid of cleaners though, like hairdressers, keycutters and hippy shops. We are eternal.

Hello fellow retail workers. A robot hasn't taken my role yet. I wouldn't mind one of those exo-suit thingies, though. Save my joints.

Mate works for Waitrose in Goldsworth Park on Sundays to top up his week's wages, was made redundant last Sunday, along with all part time workers who do less than 20 hours a week.

I think Sainsburys is headed down the crapper anyway. It's more expensive than bloody Waitrose these days, and not as good.

In my previous job, I sometimes had to meet clients in the community instead of at their homes. The Sainsbury's cafe on our patch was a popular venue for client appointments, or to kill time if we had a cancellation. Parking was easy, the coffee was a reasonable price, the internet always worked, and it was usually possible to find a quiet corner to sit. The added bonus was that they did very nice omelettes if it was getting near lunchtime, and I could pick up some shopping. I'd sometimes go in there and find half my colleagues doing the same.
I happened to be in the area a few weeks ago and went to get some shopping and have lunch, but the cafe has completely changed and no longer does hot food, the shop looked shabby and chaotic and they didn't have half the things I wanted. Only about 5 tills are now non-scab, and they've done away with the deli counter and the fish counter.
It's sad to see it going so downhill, Sainsburys was my supermarket of choice for most of my adult life.
