I've got an interview at Sainsbury's head office and have been sent a whole load of questions to have a "think" about beforehand. The job I am going for is not business related, yet the interview is standard - and I am not particulaly clued up on business.

One of the qns is "what impressions do I have of customer service at sainsbury's" - now, I have noticed on a trip that most of the shelves were bare, but is this defined as customer service? all I can think of regarding c/s is asking staff where the baked beans are which isn't going to give me a lot to talk about!

I also need to know "how the customer experimence at Sainsburys differs to that at Tesco's" - anyone got any ideas on this?

and how could Sainsburys improve the way it operates?

I'm a bit stumped really, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

P.s. I'm not cheating by asking on here as the qn says I'm supposed to be speaking to customers etc to get my answers

My father in law is selling his house. New wife talked to realtors and reduced the price by $10,000. I just looked it up on the appraisal and tax website and it's worth $30,000 more than she's asking even tho the appraisal is generally lower. Why is it lower? I remember looking up my house and it was lower. But there still stands the question of why she would want to sell it for that much less.

I have an entire semester as a break due to my transfer to another school which gave me time to look for work as I have decided that it will be a good way to spend my time. But I have never worked my entire life.

Now I decided to try and work for starbucks as a barista. I'm willing to be trained, which I know is a part of the process, but I'm totally clueless as to what I should expect of my training and my first few days on the job. Some info could really help me mentally prepare for my first job. I'd love to hear from actual baristas.

What should I expect of this job?
What are some the so-called "skills" regarding coffee preparation?
What is a typical day for a barista?
Anything that I should watch out for?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Sirs:
I am a mexican citizen living in Israel willing to obtain a Florida Real Estate Associate license in order to referr international costumers to Florida real estate brokers.
To be able to be paid by these brokers my commissions I must pass the Florida Real Estate Sales Associate examination and obtain my license.
When I try to apply for a completed Application I must fill a Social Security number that I don't have because I'm not an american alien.
When I search in the website of the Social Security office I have found that in order to apply for exams I DO NOT need a social security number to be able to take the exam.
My question: How can I enroll for the examination without a Social Security number if your online application form does not allow me to proceed without a social security number?
Thanks for your answer.

... but when someone with heath insurance visits the doctor, there is a discount on the cost when it is covered by the insurance?

I had gone for a year without health insurance, and I had to make a few different trips to the doctor. Every time I received the bill, it was for the full amount of the visit.

Now that I have health insurance, I went to my insurance website to see if my doctor's visit had been covered, and it said that the cost had been reduced (i.e. instead of the insurance company having to pay the $210, they only paid $65).

Why is that? Shouldn't it be the other way around? People with no health insurance should be paying the lower price out of pocket.

After the rent/mortgage has been paid, the bills have been sorted and any debts have gone out of the bank, how much money do you have to live on per week? Do you have to spread this money over a family or is it just for you? Are you comfortable? Or if not - how much would you need to be able to say you are comfortable (without being greedy)!

I'm not interested in how much you earn - just what is left to feed the family/ entertainment /going out/ beer/ cigarettes etc.
