I always wondered why we didn't do a pre-close call, so we're not actually "allowed"?
Oh and i have a funny story lol the first time i spoke over the P.A i got kinda nervous and i spoke REALLLLYYY loud and i forgot what i needed to say i think it was soumething like RACHEAL...................SERVICE 20 RACHEAL.

Store Manager doesn't like preclose calls.
And everyone has stuffed up PA calls - me, well I do it regularly.

lol i like how they say 'perishables service whatever to register...' and they can't remember what register it is so they have to go back

babycakes.

I'm more one to forget what department I'm calling - in my mind perishables and meat are the same thing

babycakes.

I'm more one to forget what department I'm calling - in my mind perishables and meat are the same thing

in my mind produce and fruit & vege are the same. wait.....

 

[twelvemonths]

often they change the name of the department mid-call, such as:

fresh produce service whatever to the service desk... produce service whatever

 

[lacho95]

and they fancy everything up. so deli is SERVICE DELI and bakery is SERVICE BAKERY.

Lol

I did the stupidest thing on the P.A the other night. I was so embarrassed. I was roaming near the front end, a customer needed some help. I walked over to the P.A and called for a service 20, whilst looking at the aisle cause i forgot the aisle number.

"Longlife service 20 to register 4 please, longlife service 20 to register 4 please".

I proceeded to walk away. The other staff were looking at me, they were like..... "register 4?". I'm still oblivious to the fact that I said register 4 and not aisle 4.. And then they told me, im like.. oh shit lol.

"Longlife correction aisle 4 please, longlife aisle 4"

lol i was never pa trained. never actually called a service anything... always got my CSM to do it. if i ever need to i'll refer to the list next to the pa which explains all the services. what does pa and phone training involve?
