Check out operator in Tesco, maybe, using the Shogun to commute! The Shogun might not be viable as a delivery vehicle but a short commute to work there and back should not be a problem and it would give it the necessary daily run! If it's only a few miles, the cost will be minimal. So that may not be an entirely pointless future prospect!

There seem to be quite a few positive comments from an EV owner on the EV thread though, CY. So it might turn out to be the best thing since sliced bread!

Seems like an ideal job for now, it would save you thousands of pounds a year, you could even take your wife along and she could sit at the next till and get paid!
Just think of all the points you could accumulate - a Win/win/win etc all round

If only it was so easy...
Online aptitude test, interview including group assessment then a wait to see if your available hours match gaps in their rota allocations. You can express a preference for check outs but no guarantees
Even for Christmas temp jobs

Especially when there website claims 57 mpg for the urban cycle in a petrol 4/2 and 54 mpg in a petrol 4/4.
So if Malcolm's figures are accurate at 28 mpg he only gets about 50% of what they claim. Translate that to the EV and your range would be down to 50 miles. Even allowing for closer to 40 mpg for the petrol, would equate to a around a 30% overestimate. Translating to an EV range of 70 miles.
These manufactures figures are all done under laboratory conditions and have little relevance to the real world.

JayEss, Nothing worthwhile is life is normally easy but he probably would have more success now than in 4 years time.
What has he got to lose from applying now for himself and his wife. It always seems easier getting a job when you are already in employment

Our local veg shop is the same. Most veg goes straight into the shopping bag in its original state, after he has priced it. If a bag is required, say for loose sprouts, it is brown paper.
Supermarkets could easily do this if there was a will. Those price labels the weighing scales produce, would stick just as easily on a paper bag.

At least with Tesco/Asda/Sainsburys etc they are proper jobs with reasonable working conditions which pay above minimum wage. Aldi pay the highest wages of the supermarkets I believe.
No sales targets, no expenses to find and claim back, decent breaks, paid time off. I could be tempted

So why not do it now then
EDIT: What are you frightened of, leaving your wife at home for a few hours maybe
If you were to move to Tesco, you could work anywhere, so possibly a more affordable part of the country, also your wife could also get a job there. Win Win if you ask me, and don't forget the staff discount 10% I believe, more of those lovely Tesco points

Yes, things have changed see the announcements today.
I don't have any attachment to a particular shop, tend to go for the "yellow" labels in most of them. I'd rather have better value food than think I've got points for anything. So on the whole I'm pointless.....

When I worked at the nearest town I shopped at Tesco, dazzled by everything in one store, and loyalty points, but soon realised that they were not that cheaper and having to make expensive purchase to have vouchers that wasn't worth much. Went back to shop locally supporting local economy, plus what I can't get at Aldi and find that I have saved far more than the voucher value.
