    The Woolworths Thread

    That is one of those chain emails that people forward to each other all the time. I got sent it about three years ago... I bet snopes.com or one of those other such sites will have something about it. Maybe it has been circulating for years, back when they used to offer cash out? But I'd say...

    Go into Stornet from a workstation, click "Supermarkets" then click "Policies and Procedures" then it'll say "Click here to search" in big text I think. Then the next page there will be a search box in the corner of the page.

    I've made up a "bible" when I first started to supervising to help me understand what I had to do. So basically I just printed off a bunch of crap from Storenet and put it in a folder, it actual helped out another couple of supervisors, as well as my CSM when he first started doing it. I also...

    Question: does it take ages for transferring between stores? I'm thinking of moving to the city... Regarding Earn and Learn, last year I used to just give probably 100+ stickers to some people, simply because there were so many people who didn't claim them... Our store is probably one of the...

    Yea I received that, not gunna bother with it though... haha :) Anyone experiencing the cost-cutting yet? CSM told me he has to cut 8 hours a day!!! I'm taking holidays cos I have 8 weeks of annual leave (I taking four weeks off though, the week after next) and apparently it's the worst it's...

    So does anyone actually use their store iPad anymore? I haven't seen anyone using ours since we first got it... can it actually do anything useful?

    Yeah I do tickets once a week now, I'm rostered in non trade. I know our Duty Manager routine involves filling the Proprietary Bakery, and receiving the load. CSM does it every so often... What extra responsibilities do you have? Just making sure everyone is doing stuff, making sure it's all...

    It is pretty nuts haha... see, at our store (we're a smaller store and aren't very busy) there's never a shortage of supervisors, and being in a rural area, the people don't quit and transfer as often as I'm guessing they would in city stores. That'd be why it's a bit crazy I'm guessing, cause...

    Me and a couple of others were having a big whinge about him yesterday, and the Duty Manager told me, "You need to man up and grow some goddamn balls!" hahaha. In future if he asks me to do anything, I'll just ignore him. He used to be a really good worker, like he would get off his register and...

    Anyone got any tips for forcing yourself to have a short temper? I'm pretty easy going, and pretty calm... but lately there's this one guy who works virtually EVERY NIGHT I SUPERVISE. He has been given supervisor codes, and thinks he is above me half the time... getting me to do tiny things for...

    We wore the Easter bunny ears? I bent mine backwards to try and make them look 'cool' :) oh and I did an amazing BBQ.

    Our trading hours are the exact same, 8am-9pm weekdays, 8am-5pm Saturday and closed Sunday. Urgh. When we Sunday trade (like for the two weeks before Xmas) we have this one wacky Sunday where we're open like 10:30am-4pm or something. :S Also, I heard that our CSM is going to be getting his own...

    Oh ok. Cheers :) I'll find a use for it no doubt haha :P Our chime button is more of a DING, but is only one sound, and its sorta sounds like part of the fire alarm? It didn't sound anything like a chime. Just this mono-tonal sound, similar to the start of the fire alarm. It went for like half a...

    That doesn't even sound like a Chime... our frontend button still works :) and luckily, no security haha. What's it's purpose though? I would probably ring/go in and see your manager and just politely ask if you need anymore training to do. They might set you a date for your first shift then...

    iMathew, I was going to push the Chime button tonight, but the big red alarm button is right next to it (both the buttons are on the same panelly-switch thing, so they sorta looked alarm-related) Are you sure it has NOTHING to do with the alarm? I wasn't game to press it unless made that fire...

    Under our service desk, near the big red silent alarm button, there is a small white button which says "Chime"... is this some kind of alarm? Also, on the checkout screen, if you go to MESSAGES > CALL SECURITY does this send an alert to CMS, or just do the systems office computer?

    That's exactly what I thought. I couldn't find it anywhere in the actual Qld Government legislation either. I remember we USED to have that Secondary Supply paragraph in the QLD policy, but they must have changed it sometime in the past year or so. I did ask my SM, CSM and Longlife Manager (who...

    Tobacco products are FINALLY no longer working on staff discount cards, although someone reckon'd that stores in the city would still work with them? Apparently, because they haven't had "written consent" to do with it, they are still accepting discounts? I think that's a load of horse shit, but...
