Geez, 0% is harsh! Hopefully management and look at why they got 0% (in other words, their epic failure to staff effectively on a public holiday, manage bag stock levels etc) Do Woolworths mystery shoppers just look at checkouts? We get judged on Deli, Checkouts as well as a few Fresh...

haha, I just realised my spelling fail. That's what I get for typing at 11pm Ugh, split shift today 11-3 and 5:30-9:30

I'm fairly sure they can't make you wear it - if it's not on the preferred dress poster, it's not compulsory. Also, the award says that "when at work team members shall be dressed in a neat, tidy and businesslike manner at all times." - you could argue that they're entirely unbusinesslike ;)

Nope, we've got it too. I didn't have to wear one today, CSM had left already and the supervisor on didn't even mention it to me.

I noticed last night that they've put up the new signage for the Health and Beauty section, looks really nice. I like the idea of the cuboid aisle signage.

I really need to learn to say no, just agreed to an extra 11 hours of work, now my roster is: MON: 17:15 - 21:15 TUES: 17:00 - 20:00 [faceup] FRI: 17:30 - 21:30 [faceup] SAT: 15:45 - 19:45 SUN: 11:00 - 15:00 AND 17:30 - 21:30 [faceup] TOTAL: 23 hours Muchly looking forward to that half hour...

Surely, they couldn't have a clause prohibiting workplace relatonships? What would happen to people already in one? Would one person have to move stores or be made redundant?

we do at least double that on a saturday.

Anyone over the age of 18 has to be paid superannuation. I guess you're just luckier then, my hours for the past four weeks: Week 1: 8 hours, week 2: 12 hours, week 3: 7 hours, week 4 16 hours, week 5 11 hours. The only consistent thing is that I've worked pretty much every saturday &...

Advantages: * You know when you're working, makes it easier to plan study time and social events in advance. * It's a lot harder to screw around with a permanent employee. * Get into a work routine. * Paid sick days and annual leave accural Disadvantages: * Harder to take time off *...

We have polystyrene cups and regular mugs but I can't be bothered washing things up so I just use foam. again, I never use store cutlery.

Did they wink after they asked for "companionship"?

I do agree that they don't need another supermarket, especially when around half of the adult population have signed a petition against it. The one thing I always say when these stories come up is that I hope every single person who campaigns against a Woolworths/Coles in their town still...

apparently we have to wear bunny ears for easter. GRRR

This should probably go in the Coles thread, but since the discussion's in here, here's the Coles bit: --- 6.1.6 A team member shall be entitled to 2 single shift absences without a medical certificate or statutory declaration in any anniversary year, except where a team member is...

It's not that hard to spot check is it, unless you guys have to do something complicated. Our spot check is just entering the number of $50 notes, $20 notes and so on Although I am horribly slow at counting notes, I don't want to make a mistake. One of the guys whose been with Coles for...

Ohhhh I know what you mean. Most of ours just have the dividers between but a few have those gates you have to push hard to open. I remember before they got all "open" we used to have to chain trolleys in the ones that didn't have gates.

What register lane thingo?

I should know that, I used to run a vBulletin forum. Gosh I'm so awesome.

I usually don't mind staying little bit longer because the only time I don't work in Service is when I'm doing grocery face-up so any break from that is nice. But the supervisors when they call Priority One are usually pretty good at making sure that everyone gets back to work as quickly as...
