lol I remember thinking after my first shift "what have I got myself into?!" many years later I still think about that day, everyone remembers their first customer, I had this hippie chick who had almost entirely all produce that I had never seen before and there were no pictures on the old...

Does this mean that operators can put through RTC's again? Well I guess that makes sense, but its still annoying, its stock management and corecomms that I can't see. at least they haven't shrunk host too much.

Produce is a great department to work in. Its my third fav after perish and longlife. If I chose to, I would go 2nd dept produce.

I hate the new size/font on the computer screens, why did they change it smaller? what good does that do? I have to wear glasses when using them now and I didn't before. I think they should now factor into my SMS hours the time it takes me to walk to my locker to get my glasses every time I want...

There are some changes to systems but I'm not sure of all of them, I haven't had time to have a good look. Back office is still there unless your store has changed over to ISIS. You cannot print tickets directly from the gun but can order tickets from inventory management instead of going...

You can take unpaid leave for 6mths or take a 'career break' just talk to your manager about it. you won't work for 6mths but will stay on the books and can resume you job when you return. it happens all the time, one of my staff just returned from 6mths in the US. Any thoughts on the upgrade...

Have you asked your manager for more hours? or discussed the reason why you want more hours? sometimes this can help with some managers, if they know you have rent/bills to pay they may be more inclined to give you hours as opposed to them assuming you are living at home and just want drinking...

welcome and well done! that's a lot of meat! how did they try to steal it? I know an old trick was to hide it in empty bulk coke packs. I also caught two thieves today, I was in shopping at my store in my civies, buying some toothpaste, when I saw two ferals stealing cosmetics, putting them in...

lol me too I'm like "don't talk to me and give me a plastic bag!" In my own store I'm like "I don't want to know about it, and check the dsp. & demands cause that end looks shit! Bye!"

Arg! I hated those scarfs! I'd wear stripes over scarfs any day. Yeh, that guy was a real a$$hole.

My best advice would be to talk to the perishables manager, say you are interested in changing depts, if they need people they may train you. That's how I got off checkouts initially.

So true, I'm glad I don't have to wear the stripy shirts U.G.L.Y! our LLM isn't ordering any cause she doesn't like them, "stripes aren't a good look on me" are they on anyone???

Lol that's hilarious! As for stealing the worst I've seen is last year an operator got done and confessed to stealing 1000's of $$ of cigis over three years! quite shocking. He worked close and would grab a couple here and there. he got busted by two staff members who were having a private...

lol all the confrontations that seem to happen on the shop floor always happen in front of the coke end or in front of bakery in my store. Other common places are cool rooms for "chats" the lunchroom, stock room or STM's office. As for crying, I've only shed tears twice in 7yrs working for...

Agreed!!!!

While that's all true, the thing that many banks do though, is charge customers per eftpos transaction eg. you get 6 free a month and then you have to pay a fee if you exceed that limit. credit transactions were free, that's why customers liked using them. I'm a bit annoyed about the changes as...

This was the exact reason I voted no, I don't get any more breaks, but my staff who work 4 hr shifts, like night fillers, do. Total management nightmare, and as an ex night filler I don't think you really need a 10min break for 4 hrs, it would just put you behind and break the 'rhythm'...

Yes, so, so, incredibly sad, he will be missed I think he was actually regional SHE manager at the time, or something along those lines.

Yeh, that's exactly what it's believed they were doing, they also hit up the woolworths in the same centre and others in the area but were only sold the six carton limit. That particular Big W didn't seem to get the message, appaz the DM at the time was like "well, sales are sales" err not...

I don't work there so I'm not sure of the exact details, but is was a bunch of Mormons that bought them and they paid on a card (not sure of efpos or credit) they showed up right before close and cleaned them out, and yeh, no one checked with the SM or anyone else, the DM, SS and operator who...
