It's the required uniform. Coles always has clients and area managers visiting their stores and they are very pedantic about this sort of thing.
Staff that are grossly out of uniform are considered a poor reflection on store management.

Have you been counselled over this?

Oh I didn't mean that the skirt will look better than the jeans, I meant that the skirt will look better than the pants.
I was looking at my pants this morning, and thinking about how ugly and ill fitting they really were. Not really thought about it before.

Hey has anyone else's store got the new close signs... well they arent close signs but little green cardboard signs that act as close signs that politely tell the customer to get lost we are closing lol. 'Let us serve you at another register' (or something like that). Much happier now :)

Yeah they are kinda cute. Could be a little bigger though, I've had a few people not even notice they were there.

Thats so ridiculous. As if a customer cares if the sign is polite, they're still pissed off that the register is closing.

the Recruitment process for Coles, is it all online or is there alternate route via the store level? I called up and all they said was go to the website.

also anyone else have the peculiar concept that you have two Coles about 500m away from each other? my local shopping Centre has dual Coles, one on either side.

Yes, totally online. I remember my local Coles having a sign up saying "Now hiring part time staff, visit the Service Desk for more information", yet they still directed me (quite rudely) to the internet only to find that there was no such ad available.

Theres a shopping centre near where I live that used to have a Coles and a BiLo across from one another, but now the BiLo has become a Coles, so there are TWO Coles stores directly across from each other in the same shopping centre.

How incredibly pointless, as if you would bother, you think they would convert one of them to some other store, like target, K-mart or Bi-lo and leave everyone employed there.

Where I live, there was a coles at the bottom of the hill, and 1km up the hill was BiLO. Now its coles and the ex-Bilo store is doing sooooo bad apparently, and staff are losing hours cause Bilo was gone. Part of reason Coles Group stopped overtaking Bilo stores.

They ended up selling the land back to the Council, and what have the Council done so far with this prime watefront real esatate? Turned it into a carpark.
