unless your in SA, in which case Boxing Day ISNT a public holiday, its been declared a non trade day but if you would ordinarily work and they need you to (affects fresh depts and storeman mainly to recieve loads as RDC is operating) then you can be rostered for it. It would help your case if...

Pay rates table for SA.. http://www.sda.com.au/uploads/WworthsDec08WageSheet.htm?iframe currently being renegotiated as im pretty sure the agreement expired in june, but its backpaid so its not too bad. Also dont forget that cost of living would probably be factored into it, SA would probably...

depends which EBA you fall under, here (SA) a 17yo Checkout Operator (Grade 2) gets $9.9281 probationary and $10.3184 standard. Thats 60% of the full wage, so at your 18th birthday youll get 70% etc

Maybe its region specific, but I thought national policy says that the checkouts have to be opened in specific order, IIRC its something like WheelChair accessable, then an Express Lane then the register that can see the Health and Beauty aisle... Any BOS people take up the QANTAS club offer...

ouch, are you at a store where your No2 can run things up front and you can spend time doing Cash and the CSM paperwork at least?

Thats by no means a bad wrap, like you say the queue is largely out of your control, a mystery shopper will say that it was due to operator slowness if that was the case.
