    Tips for the Cashier

    o.O But I always put the coins on top.. I pick up money with my right hand, put notes in my left hand, put coins in the palm of my left hand... take receipt with my right hand.... then I start counting the notes across to the right hand on top of the receipt... lay that down on the customer's...

    Tips for the Cashier

    ^ That's really good. Especially the counting change aloud bit.. I always do it.. I've learnt by watching the fastest people how they handle money, and I've had people say I count their money faster than those in the bank lol I always tell people I train to count each individual note because...

    interview bomb

    Depends on what the interview is for. If it was for something professional I'd smile [more than laugh] and speak in a polite and engaging tone.. If it was for something crappy and something I don't want to spend my career in I'd pretty much laugh and joke my way through the interview. As a...

    Pay Rate For A Receptionist!!!!

    How long have you been working there? Perhaps it's probation period. I got offered that much award wage as a receptionist at 17 for a law firm. And I thought, no thankyou.

    Rules for Customers

    Gah tell me about it. Most of them are fine, but some are really impatient.. I spend 99% of my time working at the kiosk where I'm serving at the conveyor belt and for the people who just buy cigarettes.. I hate it when someone who just wants smokes just shouts out what they want whilst I'm in...

    The Coles Thread

    Damn.. we still don't have our signs and I still get abused by people for not having a sign.. Staff discount cards get issued after approx 3 months after you've started working.. Ask the people in the cash office for your card.. Or a manager that has access to that office.. Most of the time at...

    Rules for Customers

    Please don't just rock up into my store with a Woolies recharge voucher and ask me why it doesn't work and demand me to fix it for you. Just because I work at a store that sells a mobile recharge service [but isnt our main priority] doesn't mean I have all the time in the world to fix your...

    Rules for Customers

    I get that too.. People rock up to the cigarette kiosk and say, "I want a pack of cigarettes", then look at me wondering why I'm still standing there and not getting their smokes.. the smart ones realise that they've forgotten to tell me other details, the thick ones repeat "I want a pack of...

    The Pay Thread

    lol I remember my first interview was as some law firm receptionist.. When the interviewer told me they'd be paying award wage whilst on probation or something which will be $7.xx per hour I was silently praying they don't hire me.

    When applying for a job, is age a big factor of whether you become employed?

    Age is taken into consideration in accordance with the store budget. If the store is massive and can afford to hire a billion employees then age is not so much of an issue.. however if the store is poor and doesn't make much sales, then they would possibly want cheaper alternatives.. As for the...
