    yep, thats the "flex up" payment. There'll be info about flex u instore, basically when an employee takes up extra hours they get paid at their standard part time rate, not the casual rate as it used to be (and SHOULD BE!). Tho it does contribute towards annual/sick leave. the casual rate is...

    I've thought that for so long, though thinking of the cons, someone could just type in your number and sign u off (like i did repeatedly one shift to someone i didnt like, but thru force sign off, lol (yes yes i know, evil)) and LOL to just shouting out your numbers, anyone could just hear...

    Its actually really easy, but call service 10 if u need help. After doing the details on the screen just make sure you separate cold and frozen items from the rest (separate bags) and on each bag put a sticker with the same code you dont need to write down the details anymore, as its all on the...

    lol we have it in my store (every 2 checkouts together), i guess i never think about it but its pretty good. NOT that we're a big store, pretty small- big stores have enough staff so that the supervisor doesnt have to serve, and in big stores people always attend to service calls (at least in my...

    speaking of magazines....have the november fresh magazines come out for other stores, cos we still havent got ours, normally they're out on the first of the month, and the customers are pestering us about it!

    all this scanning rate talk is making me curious....can anyone tell me how you access scanning rates (presumably through office?)- i only hav sup'n privileges but know plenty with manager privileges.

    actually being a cashier is about more than scanning stuff as fast as you can, otherwise we'd all just be replaced with machines. someone might not be the fastest scanner but might be really friendly to customers, engage in genuine conversation to the point that they have regular customers who...

    i've been working at my safeway for over 2 years now, and have NEVER EVER had anything said about scan rates, not me, nor have i heard them talking about the scan rates of other staff. (tho i sometimes wish they did, cos im ultra fast and hopefully number ONE!). Also I think its really unfair...

    oooh thanks for the photo, one of the things i've been dreading for refurb is all the express lanes separate, i reckon it would be a disaster- we hav no dedicated 'smokeshop'(though we never use this term) person. plus it makes sense with cigarettes etc. - though it will probs mean ill be guilt...

    ???sorry, but whats this mean? Re: AMTA, I only just got used to using the computer (and I was getting good at it!) and they go and change it :( does this mean any operator can register the Sim card, or just the Supervisor?

    i have the power of quantities...how life is beautiful! my guess is that on self-serve they say not to do too many quantities because it counts as scanning one item despite taking longer to manually do quantities and pack more than one. i've always wondered about whether supervisors would get...
