More 'fun' today. Had 2 rogue pigoens fly around our store today. Always thought those birs where they were flying… guess not. If there were any poop marks around, we didnt find them lol. Then during my tea break, spotted some old lady pushing around a trolley with her puppy dog in it (common...

Wooooo! Got my income tax refund AND a 30c payrise this past week! We're goin to Vegas baby. In other news, had a 50-something male customer come up to the service desk the other day and ask "Excuse me mate, how much is Jamie's table?". I said "Well, all the prices are displayed next to each...

That would explain why my SL has been accruing weekly. Found out today that our full-time service 2IC has never used a sick day in her 7 years, so has around 350 hours in sick leave haha - good luck trying to use that up. Always thought it was easier for women to take sickies cause they can use...

Exactly. Deli manager was having yarn about this the other week : "if you get sick at work, give it back to as many customers as possible, cause they gave it to you in the first place" lol. Also don't wanna use up any sick leave unless very ill...cause it feels like SL hours accumulate way...

Today kinda sucked donkey balls. Had like 3 service 60's in the space of an hour and each time I got "volunteered" to clean up ground zero. Like WTF??!!! and being pulled off smokeshop?? Seriously its an amazing coincidence that all longlife members in our store magically disappear out the back...

Not liking the design of it. When i first saw it, immediate thoughts were a cross between an everyday rewards card (the orange) and a wish gift card (heart & hands). The current maroon design rocks - looks wayyyyyyy more professional because it conveys "exclusivity" lol. When you pull that baby...

Hurry up already EOFY!!! June 30 can't come soon enough cause i REALLY need my income tax refund lol. Is anyone expecting a sizeable payout this year?? For me last year, lodged the tax return through the e-tax 2014 app. Took about 20 mins since woolies already sent the details to ATO so all...

Haha, yeah def must be an ex-employee cause our store has one out the back as well, but theres pretty much always someone thereabouts. With the silver chrome PAs, you'd think there would have spare parts available for repairs but for frontend/service, i doubt they'd even bother to replace...

Woo-hoo! Glad the Easter long weekend period is over. How did everyone pull up from it?? Oh and there's definitely some sorta illness going around judging from the increasing number of coughing/throat-clearing customers. Some people "really" need to learn to cover their mouth while coughing and...

You're still in luck i think. The complimentary shirt offer was apparently extended again till 30th April by Woolworths & Total Image Group. Just add the 2 shirts to your shopping cart, then press 'use subsidy' to enter the amount equal to one of those shirts. That way, the subsidy should...

Yep it's still there, but its dead save for competitions where the winning response gets a lame prize. Pretty sure is that the 'X' marked for that shift denotes a person that has been trained to perform multiple job functions (multi-mode) beyond their prescribed title. For instance, whilst my...

yep, a good friend is a doctor. not trying to exploit the entitlement or anything. its just that if a replacement can easily be found, cant see what the problem is as woolies has taken everyones leave into account the leave as part of their wage budget. They should have one around the back...

Great, thanks for clearing that one up guys. The reason is i've accrued a fair amount of sick leave (45+hrs) and wanted to gradually start using it up, without being too big an incovenience for my department (checkouts). I guess the next logical question would be (again a little shady) - can...

Don't know if I should post this but …. If you are sick the day before a shift (hypthothecially today is Sunday and youre next shift is monday … verynext day), are you able to claim sick leave entitlement in advance? Basicallt, rather than the typical calling up early Monday morning and...

Got a question for you guys. :cool: My contract just got changed to Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Now, with the Easter break coming up and myself having to work all those days back-to-back, how would the public holiday rates work out?? Having checked the award, its not real clear...

nanakid, they will be mass shipped by Total Image Group to all stores at the end of February. Got an email from them the other week about it when my order had to be adjusted (wanted short sleeve and for one reason or another, they put longsleeve on the invoice). Won't be long guys :jump:

Congrats on the interview, guessing that the block on recruitments by HR ended. As long as you were able to give reasonable responses to what they wanted to here (like safety first, proactive customer service, thorough cash handling) you'll move onto the next stage (nerves & minor stumbling are...

*Not a good look for woolworths as the story is over the news sites. But keeping it into perspective, the incident was from way back in 2011. Seems like one of those unlucky cases of having to work with a psychopathic creep. The store should have taken the matter seriously when the lady first...

Yep. Our store got them just after xmas. They look RIDICULOUS!!! Like a 2 year old designed them *gag*. The round shape resembles a charity donations badge more than anything. Even worse, all of the text is in this light green/yellow colour, they should have printed the name part in black/dark...

Does anyone know when the new uniforms come into effect?? Keep putting off ordering mine, even with the extra shirt and reduced price, just cant be bothered yet. Will probably leave it till the last day when thouands of last-minute orders are being processed and my size will be out of stock by...
