    Lol that's just ridiculous. I don't know about Coles, but I bet their system won't let cash out on credit just like ours wont let it.

    Actually, fresh or free does apply to all longlife products, just not those general merch/non edible products :P http://woolworths.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/Website/Woolworths/About+Us/Our-Services/Returns+Policy/

    Generally when it comes to doing the 'big boy' jobs, there are staff that can do it, and staff that can't do it. From my experience, there is no middle region. Staff are either shit or hard working, one of the two. You sound switched on and you should go for it, regardless of the fact you've...

    HAHAHAH at the self serve lanyard. Oh my god that looks awful :P Regarding the "earn and learn stickers are to be treated like cash".. Awkward. I don't think anybody in my store counted them last year. They usually gave the customer a massive bunch for every transaction if they wanted the stickers.

    But will it be like the last set of public holidays where you elect to have it on one of the days but not both? I hope not, because they're two separate public holidays instead of a substituted public holiday and the real public holiday (Australia day Saturday and Monday) etc.

    What new uniforms? Also, we aren't allowed to wear Jeans anymore. Apparently too many customers thought it was untidy etc.

    Filling and facing ends, receiving loads, bakery/meat markdowns, fixing negatives, packing up produce, making sure chips/drinks are ok, looking over and ensuring all departments are doing what they should, etc. There is heaps of other little things you do as you go. As a duty manager, you're...

    No, duty managers have their own jobs to do. We are a part of the "non trade" department. Quite often we may need to help out longlife finish their load for the day though. We don't have a nightfill at the moment, it's dayfill. I close the store up at the end of the night.

    It sounds like your staff need a slap in the face. If they are on the roster as an operator, they are nothing more than an operator. If you are rostered as a supervisor, you are their superior. You need to stop letting people walk all over you, as you're only digging your own grave and...

    And you won't be added to that for a while, it takes a while for you to kick in to the rosters. Relax, you only just joined the company. Normally its 1-2 weeks before you start getting rostered shifts.

    :\ It shouldn't change between states but here service 60 means a spill/cleanup and service 80 means take the rubbish out. Floor checks are also Service 8.

    Your supervisor is wrong. It is allowed. They even mentioned this in my induction many years ago. You can use the card as long as YOU are present.

    If you are physically with your friend, you can discount their transaction, that is perfectly fine yes.

    No they aren't. There is a mix of VIC/NSW/QLD/WA on here. The chime button won't work anymore, it used to play this dodgy sound over the speakers. There is still a chime button (that actually works) on the speakers volume controller in one of your offices. It won't send an alert to CMS, only...

    Wasn't probation six months? Or at least I think it was when I was employed?

    Nanakid, see the below for the official policy/laws. This is VIC: This is QLD: I understand this as QLD does not have a secondly supply law therefore it's only illegal if you sell them to a minor, not if somebody buys them and gives them to the child. See the last paragraph in the VIC...
