    We are allowed dark but not too dark wtf?????
    Oh.. we do not have that over here.
    I really hate the way they "check" your uniform before you start your shift.
    Basically looking you up and down and commenting on your clothes or make up.. not a good start to your shift!!!

    We better stop this bitching before we put everyone off applying for a job in RI! :pac: Or get caught by our managers and get a disciplinary! :rolleyes:

    Training will be till training if you are on cash desk. Profit protection for fitting rooms and sales floor in general. It won't be anything other than common sense really for a sales assistant, just what to say to customers etc.

    Are you talking about the new Navan store or the new Cork store?

    When I first started working in RI, I started in a store that was already open so had no problem buying work jeans. I moved to a store which wasn't already then and we were allowed purchase jeans before the store opened. Are you not helping to fit out the store, no? If the shop isn't already open on Friday and Saturday when you are training, I presume you'll be able to buy jeans then.

    If not, yeah, you can buy jeans full price in another River Island branch and then bring the receipt and the tags from the jeans to your own store and you will be refunded.

    If you're gonna be working in Navan, when is it opening?! :)

Volunteered to do a 12hour shift before the new store opens up just setting it up and that...figured it would be a good way to get to know people. Hopefully i wont kick myself for it:D:D anyway ill let ye know how i get on in the store :D
