Seen to Sainsburys at Coventry

Grocery stuff too. The big Sainsbury's near here is always running out of staples (basic groceries, not bent pieces of wire holding papers together). I've come to the conclusion that whoever specified their stock distribution system wrote "Just Run Out" when they meant "Just In Time".

Cr*p manager.

Send an email to head office.

Though it takes about a year of people complaining before they remove them...

Hopefully part of your dev role is to fix the massive disconnect between their online ordering and local stock levels for non-grocery stuff.

Spent many an annoying hour after bagging a bargain on their site (Windows tablet for £32, after all discounts) only to have to chase all the local stores up for stock when it doesn't arrive on the delivery.

[WTFH]

Have you asked your accountant?

Can't ask them until they come off their shift on checkout number 5.

Mine has a decent single malt selection and a pretty big bakery. HTH.

What is "no flange"

The inside part of a train wheel. It's what keeps it from derailing and allows it to go round corners.

Also a sexist, offensive and outdated term for ladies parts. And ladies too.

There are none of the above at Sainsburys in Coventry, I believe.

It's a nightmare, that's what it is. Makes me glum.

[WTFH]

Their motto is "develop well for less", so it depends.

[Troll]

Nope. But I know a man who is PM-ing there. He reckons they're a bit boring, and there is no flange. If you're a dev that's probably perfect.

Yes, yes, but what spec are the development PCs?

Looks like you have to supply your own: Desktop PCs - Sainsbury’s

Hi All,
Has anyone ever worked at Sainsburys in Coventry as developer?
Looks like I'll get an offer and looking for some inside info on the atmosphere and people.
Any help gratefully received.
