You can see if someone has won or lost on the fobt before they do, its annoying when they shout unlucky mate, i saw a kid nearly get his head ripped off

tell them security is not important to you and jobs yours imo

Joking apart,what would they ask you in an interview

Hi Kane.. is it for a mahager's job? If so the 'usual' conditions will apply. At the risk of teaching granny to suck eggs:

Turn up on time (you'd be amazed at how many don't)
Dress smartly (see above)
Have references available (We would take up t'phone refs almost immed...so make sure the people you have given as refs are aware)
Be friendly and positive WITHOUT being overfamiliar or aggressive.

They will almost certainly start by asking you to tell them a little bit about yourself. Then move on to talking about your experience and the sort of skills and abilities you think you can bring to the job. If they're the 'smart-ass fannying about types, they may ask you what you think your weaknesses are. (v. unfair q IMO.. don't answer it beyond sayong something like. 'well I rather hope I don't have any weaknesses as such' but that you're are very keen to develop and learn etc etc.)

The last bit usually revolves around pay, holidays and any qs you may wish to ask. Don't dwell on terms and conds too much. If they're not want you want you can always turn them down AFTER they've offered you the job.

Above all, look forward to the interview and ENJOY it.. this will deffo came accross in your demeanor.

Bets of Luck! :)

They ask why your best person for the job
what would you do if the shop was robbed
how would you deal with an awkward customer
etc

its not a managers job, what would the answer be to, what would you do if the shop was robbed ffs?

Give them the money

When I did cashier interviews, I interviewed some characters

One bloke fell asleep in the interview, I know I'm boring but ffs that takes the biscuit

I also had some that could not speak English

Agree with PM about smart and early

I believe there is a structured interview now for Laddies which will generate some stock answers

but they do stil lask you about your application form and will pick up on some things from there

Maintain eye contact, sound confident and answer clear and precise

If you dont know what to do in a robbery, you should be delivering pizzas

Still stealing pizzas Kingfisher?

Only one Baggers ?

no m8 :D

"What would you do if somebody tried to rob us ? "

a good reply to this is :-
Tell him his winning acca has an error and we will refund his stake .

some lines best NOT to use

I don't like working after 5pm
I go to church on Sunday afternoons
I often get my decimal points in the wrong place
I don't like being interrupted if I am eating at my desk
I'm not used to electronic gadgets
If the favourite is Evens are the rest of the runners 100/1 bar

They ask why your best person for the job - because I said so.

what would you do if the shop was robbed - give him what was in the jack and jill then pocket the monkey I had taped under the counter

how would you deal with an awkward customer - bar the**t.

Gissa job, I can do that. :)

It was in Wood Green in 1998 and it was a Cypriot bloke who was trying to hold down two jobs already, he fell asleep so I left the room brought someone back with me and told him to go home and go to bed:D

Did you know Chris Vye Baggers? :)

Yes PM, only passing tho as he was south of the river

dont tell them that a punter would go to the chain with the biggest odds on their selection. bad move.

its about brand loyalty.

Last time I saw him would have been about 1994.. he was based at Wood Green then I think. Art and I had a drink with him in the W.E. He'd just retired. 3 months later he tragically died.. I believe of a heart attack. :(

I was based in wood green from 97 to 99 and then again in 2002

I was based in Custom House for all of my service - 4 months

Had one back in 1979, things may be a bit different now...

Did you fall asleep? :D

yes i have had one
