    As far as I'm aware, the only way to do something similar is to print a 2p/p ticket and cut the price. It might not display the description properly. But this is from a WA regional Produce worker, the only ones we have left really are 6pp, 4pp, A4 and 2pp for fruit and veg items. Do a...

    Lucky you right? We're in a similar boat, we have a reasonable amount of operators, but between people calling in sick, my boss being on holiday and our 2ic leaving to Long Life, my fruit and veg is struggling. I'm having to cover both bosses jobs, as well as anyone who is sick. We struggled to...

    Can't speak for front end supervisors (I don't know exactly what their routine is), but you will be fine as a supervisor in general. I was nervous a little the first few times I supervised my department before we actually got a 2IC again, but now that he's quit, I'm running the show again while...

    I'd say your boss said you're starting at 3:30, and pay office took it as you're doing your 5 hours starting at 3:30 instead of 5. I'm sure they would have put it through properly today. Dunno about your store, but at mine, the office ladies are all gone by 5.

    Definitely around October-November time they tend to hire tons of night fill workers. Dunno about other stores, but we just got approved to start hiring a ton more night fillers, so I'd say contact your local store's night fill manager sometime and just ask. I'm not sure when other stores are...

    Yeah I'm in the union, and our union rep is happy to sit in in a meeting with my boss about it. They've changed their mind on the rosters AGAIN, so they've got to work on new sets anyway

    Beautiful, I'll definitely use that one. The hours don't suit me anyway, I haven't been happy with a roster since my 4:30 finish roster. I'd hope 7 rosters in 10 months counts as frequent, but at least I can block this new day setup if I can't stop the hours being changed. My manager...

    What defense do I have against my sixth roster change since November? WALL OF TEXT INCOMING Started off with this: T: 11-7 W: 10-7 T: 11-7 F: 10-7 S: 10-7 For about two weeks, then my Saturday changed to 6-3, and my short days flipped around. That lasted for about three months, before I went...

    Speed, you're like 18, I don't know what your deal is. Your post history says you're applying for university for next year, making you Year 12 this year. While I'm sure a student at a high school could have a relationship with head office, I know you most likely don't. So why do you come...

    So... this new rewards system hey? From what I can tell, its $2000 before you get a $10 rebate now on general grocery stuff. I think I would prefer the Dollars balance where Im rewarded for trying other brands... even though the EWD rewards were just overcomplex specials

    Good answer. I don't actually know what his deal is with HR or whoever he claims to have a relationship with, but as long as we can assume we'd get in trouble for talking about non-public information with him watching, best not to say anything. I'll also clarify my comment about people saying...

    On the security topic, we had an intoxicated customer come in today and abuse our security guard for his race. Was pretty funny watching the security guard stand there like "mate I've heard all this before, the police are on their way, please leave". Like a customer watching said, if our guard...

    Just making a joke about pressing the wrong button on registers and Masters closes haha General rule for store closures is no one knows which stores are closing until they finalise their decisions and announce it, so just don't engage in it. Rumours can spread all they like, but it's likely...

    Sorry, that was me. I was working a particularly busy Thursday mostly on checkouts (because why pay more checkout operators when we can just send half of the fresh departments for most of the day?!?!?) and I hit the wrong button at some point. I had a look at the register the next day and...

    Must be a small store, my store has 22 checkouts, and on Saturdays we normally have at least 12 open. I've run a Saturday in produce with myself, my boss and another full timer on close shift. We are meant to have at least 6 on a Saturday... I say good luck

    Probably cutting so many hours to cover for the company's promise to hire however many Indigenous workers I'd say. Apparently they're starting to plan for that, so that's likely why wages are stingy atm.

    EBA Clause 2.7.6: "Start times may be changed, if contact is made, prior to the employee's arrival for work. Where the labour schedule is changed after the schedule has been posted on the noticeboard, the Company will notify the employee of such changes. Notification...

    Yeah it's quite a horrible song. Even worse, I can't even just get over the fact that it's hourly, because for my store, it plays at anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes past any hour... I can't believe I miss Showtime

    It's a poor practice to keep doing it to casuals (probably the reason it's happening, casuals are being cut at my store too), and the EBA states if the hours are changed (in other words cut) they are meant to notify: "Where the labour schedule is changed after the schedule has been posted on...
