My friends used to get called in to Big W early of a morning or late at night. Both live in nearby towns. This is how the conversation used to go:

Big W: Can you come in today?
Them: What time?
Big W: Start at nine.
Them: I live 45 minutes away. There's no way I'll make it before 9:30.
Big W: ... So can you start at nine

I'm beginning to think the 'W' in 'Big W' stands for 'Wankers' ...

yeah something like that

i like half an hour away and they always do that to me







fuckers.

I hate when they call early. once i got called at 7:15 and they go can you come in at 8 I'm like no thats too early and too soon . so they go okay what time and i go 9 and they go hmmm okay come in as soon as you can.
they can give me 45 minutes notice but when i have to get out of a shift i have to give them a MINIMUM 4 hours notice and if i am courteous enough to give them a couple of DAYS notice they get all shirty for getting out of a shift. Next time they do i am going to say well i could have called in sick at the last minute and left you in the lurch so dont complain

they're sposed to give u an hour or mores notice if you live in town and half an hour more if you live out of town.. then you have 10 minutes either side of the time u were called in to start... so u can still be 10 minutes late if need be...


apparently.. so my ex told me.. hes a manager so he should know

 

[_Bushra_]

can you believe i am still not rostered in cosmetics? i feel like smacking every manager we have...

i also worked mon, tues and wed for stocktake...ugh..stupid managers. They wouldnt let anyone go until their areas were completed

i worked today and this lady comes along with her arms ladden with clothing and i was wondering why she didnt put it on the counter. She's like "everything is so dirty around here i dont want to put my clothes down"...

hahahaha obsessive compulsive!!!



hmmm well so much for me being on a contracted 12 hours per week.. last week i got 9 and this week i got no shifts what-so-ever. Nice work by roster makers.

I hate Big W checkout operators when it comes to EFTPOS - they feel the need to swipe your card as hard and as fast and as many times as possible in ten seconds. Once is enough, ladies. Keep it up and you'll break my card.

*sniffs* you hate me??

I dont do it heaps fast.. its the impatient customers that do it heaps fast.... Our eftpos machines are absolutely shocking. Never have i seen a machine stuff up so many times in 1 hour than the ones we have at our store. Goodness me they're shocking.
At least im not like some customers who do it so fast their card flies out of their hand and onto a register 3m away

(Myer) I hate the over zealous customers who swipe their card so quickly, they are ready to swipe before you even enter the first item.
Then when it comes time for FlyBuys, the EFTPOS machine says swipe card, so they do it, then the register goes *beep* read error! Then the bloody customer gets annoyed when they have to swipe their card again...geez just be patient, wait until after flybuys, and give me time to press EFTPOS button!

[*~Dazed~*]

not retail but whatever.
Customers who whinge about their food when paying their bill AFTER they have eaten pretty much every scrap on their plate. Well if you hated it that much why did you eat it and maybe if you had told us earlier we could let the chef know and they could make you a new one.

Customers who ask for coffee and you ask what kind and they say just a coffee. There are about 7 types of ordinary coffees that we make, not to mention skim/decaf/liquor varieties. How the fuck do you expect me to know what you want.

Customers who whinge to you about the food and when you tell them that you can bring out the manager or chef they say not to worry about it. Its not my fault if the food is shit, and if you can whinge to me why not tell the person who actually has control over it, i just fucken serve it to you, do i look that easy to pick on, if you can fucken have a go at me, you can tell them.
