I’m 19 and work for Sainsbury’s. (UK supermarket). I work 6x 4am-11am shifts per week and make £11 per hour.
There are only 2 other colleagues willing to work these early hours which means we are doing the work of multiple extra people.
It’s a physical job of loading vans, 30,000+ steps a day. It’s getting even busier as it is coming up to Christmas and so I want to ask for an extra pound or two per hour as an incentive to keep working.
Am I stupid for even thinking of asking for more? There is a ‘driver premium’ (extra £2p/h) that delivery drivers get paid. I could ask for this so they don’t have to raise the wages of everyone else in my department… even though I don’t drive.
Thanks for anyone who gives their time to answer!
