lol, our s/shop lady annoys the shit out of me. She's always off doing something else. She does the magazine returns so she sorts out all the magazines and fills them etc but she hardly serves in express. Our open is like: either 5 or 6 or 7 s/shop starts, depending on which day 7 supervisor...

We appear to be downgrading... Going from 16 large registers to 12 4 staggered express (plus 2 s/shop) to 3 staggered (plus 2 s/shop) but adding 5 or 6 self-serve. I doubt 12 registers will cut it at Christmas! Guess I'll just be telling our operators to scan faster, lol. *prepares whip* And...

haha ok... ours is: 1 - meds health food tissues cosmetics 2 - baby needs, fem hygiene, soap 3 - deod, haircare, dental, toilet paper 4 - underwear hosiery, laundry powders, fly spray 5 - cleaning needs hardware 6 - pet food pool salt 7 - baking, dried fruit, kitchenware, pasta sauce 8 - sauce...

Out of all the stores I've been to I don't think any have a similar layout... we have 17 aisles... our aisle 1 is comestics, tissues, health food ??? and you could say aisle 0 is freezers, lol. back wall is dairy.

Well, I remember they said that the new release wasn't going to have the chip card functunality because they were having problems but then they send out another comm saying it was back on, lol. I'm in region 10 so we get all that stuff a bit later than everyone else. Well we are spewing...

The end of the month can not come sooner... we're getting all new registers on the last Saturday of the month! YAY, considering all our registers are falling apart at the moment and we're mostly thinking we're getting new fittings soon so we won't bother replacing the 5 blown register lights, or...

Hmm, we've had inghams chicken for a long time now weird =] yeah I think there's shockers like that in every store...

Yes, always good to see what progress looks like :P (even though we are still in the 80s with our software)

i'm talking about the store trader - in the trader, by department, there's sales last year (pre-printed), then planned sales in blue pen, then you write in actual sales in black pen, next column is a percent last year v this year (red pen loss; black pen gain), then percent of store sales that...

if you're looking at the trader... the red pen will be sales this year versus sales last year.. meaning this time last year you turned over more. Wow! How many draws do you have in your store? lol, no wonder they want to bring in phoenix if all the other stores have this kind of rostering lol...

Weird. All of that is done BEFORE we close in our store. Say on a weeknight we close at 9pm. We have a night office cashier rostered for 3 hours (6.30-9.30) so when I come in for that shift at 6ish I take as many draws out (I know they say you're meant to spotcheck at the register but we don't...

Construction starts next week, yay. I think the checkouts will be done last at our store and they'll be done overnight. So the service manager will have to come in early to set up the service desk and smokes. :)

Your store closes at 5 but you work from 5-7 in office? :S eh..? oh and you mean you were taking tickets down? Hm at our store at the moment we take tickets down, one person, 4-7 on Sunday (close at 6pm) and put up from 5-9/10am Monday (store opens at 8) about 3-4 people. I'm wondering what my...

Hell yes, I really think ALL the supervisors need to have a go at cash office at least once to understand some things... like there's this day supervisor at our store that orders INSANE amounts of change.. like a draw will have about $400 in tens but she will order another bundle or two "just in...

haha... this is woolworths, it's all about who you know and who licks the most ass. :) but theres generally a clear hierarchy in the stores in the area group i.e. our current store manager is a shoe-in for next area manager, hah.. but the woolworths way is very hush hush :)

Yeah, don't know much more at this stage... all the offers are TBA on the team talk lol. 3rd August launch, $2 sim cards in stores. Also from 3rd August for all mobile phone sales we are no longer using the manual AMTA form, there will be an online form in the citrix web portal... pain in the...

Woolies has to have a finger in every pie... Everyday Prepaid Mobile coming August lol :O

Re: Refurbishment and few words.. lol... the whole point was it to resemble an apple anyways... freshness? urgh. Well apparently the service manager isn't supposed to be standing behind the desk unless s/he is doing something there (using the terminal or phone)... s/he should be standing out...

Hm.. I don't see how you would NEED to clear your draw of excessive funds more than once an hour anyway... surely you're not turning over that much cash?

Re: Refurbishment and few words.. Same (and I hope we still have it after the refurb), but still, the service manager isn't allowed to serve any customers, not even smokeshop. Any stores get really busy with the whole 40c fuel offer ?? It was horrible today!
