Nightfill, the best department? Pfft, only thing they are good for is providing priority ones for service :P And even then there still hopeless ha. Just kidding (that's a joke me and the Nightfill captain have- he jokes that service staff are useless, so I likewise have to joke back) I...

That's the store/department manager's beliefs. All political stuff. Some managers still abide by old company policies, or they don't realize they've changed. Some of the rules are just their preferences. It really is up to them to run them how they want to though... unless the area manager...

Today was great! Hoping tomorrow is the same. Judging our office cashier routine: 1. Get cash organised for frontend out the safe, check seals and stuff. 2. Do stuff on the computer. 3. Phone calls. Ring people. 4. Print stuff out. 5. Turn the chute on. 6. Break. 7. Do pickups. 8. Put change...

Yeah, I can understand that I suppose. But our store's staff have never had to stay to work until midnight before on Xmas Eve or New Year's Eve, but this year they are for some reason. I only found that out on Tuesday so I got the holiday form in as soon as I found out. And there's plenty of...

Do you guys think 2 weeks notice is enough for one day off? I'm contracted Tuesday nights once a fortnight for tickets, 7pm-midnight. This lies on New Year's Eve... so basically I'll be watching the clock tick over to 2014 at work. I put in a leave form last Tuesday so that's exactly two weeks...

Lol, I highly doubt it. Does anyone know when we will be getting paid for next week, considering Christmas is on the Wednesday? Does that affect it, or will it just be processed like usual?

Funniest thing that happened to me a few years ago. Power surged during a storm so obviously that affected the alarms and CMS are alerted for whatever reason. Got a phone call as we were finishing work, I answered it and could barely hear an Indian guy talking, I had no idea what he was saying...

Hows everyones Xmas trading going? We've definitely noticed an increase in customers and sales... and then we have to cut wages again :( but pretty keen to work midnight and Sunday trading for two weeks! (our store don't Sunday trade)

Same as us, but training room is also the ASM office. Our offices are on the same floor as the store. The only upstairs is for the Comms room, the plant room and that sorta stuff. RE: the subsidy, i had the same problem. I ordered one shirt and emailed them afterwards and they corrected it...

Oh righteo. I've heard some stores give operators privileges to make it easier. Our store used to do it, but they don't anymore. We recently had an audit a few weeks ago. Basically, people from Head Office, or the closest state branch (or something) come out and just check basic operations...

Hi! I remember I started working at woolies when I was 14 and a half... it wasn't until just under three years later that I became a supervisor, and I was so relieved when I finally had it. I believe I earned it :) About a year after I first started (when I was still a cashier) a girl who is...

Tis getting a bit dull lately. :( Full-time hours (well, pretty much) this week and next, woo! Also looking forward to Christmas, to rake in the dough. I have a question... I'm quite tall, and I hate being on main checkouts for extended periods of time, because it seems to hurt my back and...

Is it just me, or does it look like its got a bit more of a blue tinge to it? Like it's still green but... more bluey. Ha. I'm still going to wear my nightfiller polo when doing tickets though. It's pretty annoying having to tuck in the other shirts every three seconds. Had a lady come in...

I like the ISIS search, I easily find products all the time with it. Although I haven't really used the Woolworths app so I can't really compare it. If Woolies bring in the free WiFi, then I will use it, but not when I'm the one getting charged.

I've ordered a new shirt, but I can't for the life of me find this "USE SUBSIDY" button (because of their web developers?). I sent them an email, but I only ordered one shirt when checking out and paid with a credit card... will I have to complete a new order, or can they just manually fix my...

I keep a pile of the brochures with the temporary cards in them next to me on the register. If a customer doesn't have a card, and they have any reward special, I scan it and put the brochure in their bag. Our 2ic has a card that she scans whenever a customer doesn't have one... which is...

Good luck, Matt! Hope you're still occasionally around here. Has anyone else been nearly skinned alive by customers desperate for the sold out Aussie Animals books? Apparently they're getting some more in...

I think we were one of the pilot stores. CSM complains about those grids allllll the time. PM me your email address if you want, I made up new grids which you can write it in. So much easier. Good luck mat-e! :) Before I started working at Woolies, I was the most shy, awkward kid who really...

Well I haven't heard anymore about it, so I assume its a mistake somewhere. Sick of it? Haha. Good luck whatever happens :) Does anyone know if it's possible to transfer between Woolies Australia to Countdown NZ? Not going to happen probably, but if I ever wanted to go over there for a year...

Ah righteo. Well they have actual found the details for the customer, so they're best guess is that someone has started to process a cheque, then cancelled it and it still got recorded in the system or something. But they've looked through every single transaction on the register, nothing on it...
