Oh my god our service dept cuts just keeps getting worse and worse. So far behind on the frontend jobs. Like legit struggling to do anything apart from serve. When supervising the other day, one of the senior managers told me to open a main register... which I did, and I of course got stuck on...

Sorry dude. Woolies or IT store I'd go for. I have this thing about food jobs ha. I'm not real familiar with the application process, but imagine it's straightforward - create a profile at wowcareers.com.au fill in your deets, see what jobs are available. You could also drop your resume to the...

Found that there is an insane amount of floor staff on the last two days, so lucky there are people to call. Even though they probably don't get their work done. At this stage, the roster says that all the day staff finish at 5.30 and then it's just me, the night supervisor on with no operators...

Actually didn't turn out to be too bad today. I'm just expecting the worst scenario possible where there is no floor staff to call and there will be angry customers yelling at me. Which is still a possibility. Any of you guys in a bad situation like this? Please comfort me in saying that I am...

My night routine consists of: Spot checking Housekeeping (cleaning belts, silvers, rubbish, etc) Drinks Stock return Cigarettes Full impulse bars Newspapers Etc You'll be right ha. Is anyone else's store legit gutting the shit out of their front end department. Two full time staff are on leave...

Fun fact: Woolies have a piece of software called ISIS :O "In Store Information System"

Don't bow to their pressure! If it's unsuitable, then let them know. Certainly don't let them tell you to "suck it up" and agree to it anyway. Store manager tried changing me from a 5/5 roster to a 6/4, and with my uni schedule it would have been one massive week for me. I certainly didn't...

Nope! It evens out. I can't think of a simple way to explain it but it won't be out. EDIT: Okay I'll try and explain. So if in that scenario, the register says the total is $20, it calculates that you've put $50 in the till, and the customer is to receive $30 change. But because the customer...

Well it all depends on what store you're from, but some general tips * DON'T FORGET OPERATOR BREAKS. I make this one of my priorities. They'll love you for it ;) * Don't be too strict, but don't be a pushover either. Obviously don't let the "power" of being in charge go to your head or...

Yeah well that's right. I found out there's one certain employee that keeps going on about it, and that the other employees that are talking about it are getting their facts from him. I don't think anyone at the store level would know hey. They think they do, but they don't. I wouldn't say our...

I don't get it :S am I stupid? Haha. There are rumours going around that our store will be one of the ones closing. So sick of hearing it, no one actually knows anything, it's all just gossip.

Masters actually closing in December. Bit sad tbh :/

Just got bored and read through some old posts. 2009 this was being discussed! Took 6 years to implement (although online rosters were introduced circa 2010?)

The whole poor practise of cutting casual shifts is still continuing weekly. We got 2 more boxes of the olympic coins in, some lady wanted me to hold 6 packs of them for her until next Tuesday. I was like... um, no.

Scroll down the page and fill out the form underneath ;) (home postcode and payroll number?)

Yeah it was an awful morning but the arvo was better. I (the supervisor) had to spend an hour on big register when one of my two operators was on a lunch break. But anyway all over with now :) I am so sick of those Olympic coins. We've sold out of the packs, but people keep wanting to swap them...

We usually have 6-7 staff (including supervisor) on a Saturday throughout the day, this Saturday we have four. And the usual supervisor is sick. So while I love running frontend on Saturdays, tomorrow is going to be insane. That's crazy that you guys are hiring more staff. It literally makes...

http://www.smh.com.au/business/retail/woolworths-to-close-dozens-of-stores-cut-500-jobs-20160724-gqcu9t.html Sad times guys :( Hope no one here is affected!

I thought it would be a legit practise :/ it sucks for them. There was some staff they couldn't reach via a phone call to cut their shifts, so they put up a sign over the finger scanner for them to not sign on due to their shifts being cut! Couldn't believe my eyes. @Heath I've been in customer...

My managers keep rostering casual staff on and cutting their shifts on the day they are supposed to work. Lost count of how many times it's happened. I'm PPT but feel for them :/ is there anything against this practise in the EBA or anything? They drop other commitments to come to work and then...
