Can't really remember my interview, but it was with department manager. Questions aren't hard, but just general stuff "why do you want to work at Woolworths" "why do you think you would be best for the job" blah blah blah. That sort of stuff

I have seen that before it hasn't happened in ages to us so no idea sorry.

How do they decide when the stores get refurbed? Does corporate pay for it, or does the store have to save up for it? I still don't understand how this works. What type of business structure is this, and is it the same as Wal-Mart in the States? I know that woolies and Coles aren't a franchise...

Didn't work out? We have a few different families working at our store. Brother and sister and their mother (she transferred though). A mother and daughter. One blokes step-son. Me and my cousin. CSM and his niece. Another mother and her son It's like a family store :S

This is a bit of a random topic, but do any of you peeps know staff who are married or dating, and work together? Or they met through Woolworths? Went out clubbing a few weeks ago, saw one of our previous relief managers who said "Woolworths relationships never work out" haha, just got me...

Get the SDA involved early, I reckon? That should eliminate any problems :)

Oh, it doesn't? I didn't check but I just assumed they were talking about the same clause as it is for New Years Eve, similar situation to what I had. I have them two weeks notice instead of four and they didn't approve it, so I had to work my 7pm-midnight shift.

Pretty sure it says when you give four weeks notice over Easter, it can't be "unreasonably refused". So you've given the four weeks notice, so I think unless they're going to be severely short-staffed then you should be able to take leave.

Isn't it illegal for certain shops to not offer a toilet? In our centre, the bottlo next to us is pretty quiet, the lady just puts up the "back in 15 minutes" sign up and goes for a smoke break and stuff.

It sucks that Woolies don't pay out sick leave. My mate from IGA says they pay it out (probably dependant on which store though I guess, being a franchise). But if they paid it out it would prevent so many sickies. Our CSM appreciates it if we find our own replacement because it saves him a job...

You're contracted to that shift, so they can't just delete it unless you sign a new temporary contract for that week. So they'd have to give it to you as sick leave.

I may have just stolen your idea haha... we have to print out the refund and voids report, so I added them to my favourites and got rid of the privileges again ha. Two questions: 1. Regarding those statutory declarations we were referring to a few posts ago, does the office keep copies of...

I have Office Cashier privileges on there, as well as service supervisor. I added two supervisors to the office program... and I can go through and edit all the users. I wonder if this means I can give myself more access? Not that I would ever do this, but if you can it's a bit of a security...

No pen pocket on the shirts! :( I was like.... really?! Service Supervisor access can't do much. Check basic reports, like Pos Over/short summary, service team action.... can log people off remotely and a few other things. Service Manager has a lot more functions which I'm not 100% sure...

Why can't I find anything to do with sick leave in the agreement? :( I need to know when the managers can request a medical certificate. I thought it was only when we have more than two days off in a row?

Here's a picture. It probably still looks blue, but it's just the lighting I think. The checks are really noticeable, a lot bigger than they look in the total image photos. Up close:

Got our shirts delivered yesterday! A lot of people don't like them but I don't think they're too bad. The micro checks don't look very big in the pictures, but on the actual shirts they are very noticeable. I was hoping they would actually be the blue colour that they looked in the photos, but...

Yeah I thought they would cover it. Understandably though, the employee would get warned or something if they were acting negligible. Good ol' Woolies, chucking their employees in the deep end.

Does anyone know what happens when you are getting trolleys and accidentally hit a car? Does Woolworths pay for that, or do you personally have to do it? Came up in conversation today, 2ic is convinced we personally have to pay for it if we're at fault. Is that true, if we're doing everything...

Should do... unless they've replaced you. EDIT: anyone else having trouble accessing the total image website? Trying to check if my orders been dispatched as well but it won't load :/
