    Told em that I'd work Sunday and then had to change after my other job rostered me for that day anyway (quite annoying but what can I do)

    I really hope I don't get asked now!

    No I doubt you will be.

    I'm due in at 12 for 5 hours and I'm on the 5th floor and I'd be one of the first to leave as my bar would be one of the first to shut.

    Kick off is 2.30. Game will end at around 4 I'd say.

    Just walk up to Lansdowne lane (its the little lane down to the staff entrance) and they have a little stall set up for those who don't have job cards or who have forgotten them and just give your name there.

    EDIT: Whoops, didn't see newer posts; what Kateos2 said!

    Some of the team leaders on the bars are bloody brutal. I've rejected the work for next sunday because I can't work with my team leader anymore as its the most frustrating exercise in the world.

    He can't pour pints properly. He tips them slightly when you're supposed to have them dead straight.

    He insists in topping up each pint to the top of the glass when there's meant to be about a half inch gap on the new non-spill glasses. This leads to huge delays in distribution.

    He puts 2 pourers on the bar for 10 cashiers, makes one of them himself who is not only slow but tends to go walkabout to the other side of the bar leaving his cashiers without a pourer. This on top of his ultra slow method.

    He talks to everyone like it's their first day in a job.

    He wouldn't let a steward have a bottle cap for his coke because the rule was no bottlecaps despite stewards being allowed have them and told the steward to contact Steve Cooper, the head of the stadium to complain.

    Just an absolute tyrant.

    Aggggggh!! Rant over

    :)

    Lol, I have the best team leader ever! There's him and 3 of us who are always on the bar and we get on so well! It makes it so much easier to work as well!

    And I take it that was before the bottlecap rule was gotten rid of?

    The bottlecap rule is gone? We were never told this, we still did it on our bar on Sat.

    ah right... just that the head stewards said we would usually be paid the thursday/friday of the week after the event... which would have been last week for the 6th.

    The rules are different for football/rugby matches. We don't search anyone on the way in for rugby matches and have stopped taking bottle caps, whereas for the Cup Final we were searching bags and taking bottle caps. Sure at the last few rugby games the bar beside us was serving glass bottles!

    Ah yeah I know that, I'm on the premium level and we serve glass as long as they aren't taking it outside at rugby matches. Wasn't told about the change in the bottle cap rule though, and I don't think anyone on my bar was.

    As far as I know the rule is that; on the Wednesday following the days you have worked all the pay is processed and accounted, and then the following Wednesday its put into your account.

    I got a random payment from them in early December of €87 or something like that so I'm maybe thats what that was! I thought it was holiday pay though. Never got a payslip for it!

    Are we meant to be getting a bonus?

    Bonus? I was lucky to be paid. I was underpaid by €60 during the November games and it took 4 weeks, numerous phone calls and emails before it was finally paid on the 23rd of December.

    Compass Group Uk are the people who look after all payment and catering issues at the AVIVA. They are a quite reliable company who with any experiences ive heard of, will correctly rectify any mistakes in Payment. Im sure if you bring it up with the Manager in charge of you then you will be re-imbursed for any work you were not payed for.
