there is still a voice isnt there?it is very sadmy life feels so empty without that NCR lady's voice haha
"Welcome please scan your first item..."
"Thank-you for shopping with the Fresh Food People!!"
She was a lot happier than the new one as you will soon find out!
people cant read instructions as i found out today - someone was weighing all their produce and she would wait until the voice said to place it into the bagging area EVERY SINGLE time. lmao she was there forever, cause the voice is megaly delayed...

lol i almost got fired at my local woolies yesterday. My department manager was mad at me cos i didnt turn up for a shift that i didnt know i was rostered on. i thought i was rostered on thursday and i N/A that cos of the graduation day and then yesterday my manager ruins my yr 12 beach day and calls my whilst on penrith train home from central and asks me why im not at work and i told her i didnt know i was rostered on and that it was my yr 12 beach day anbd i told her i got the days mixed up. then i tried explaining when i got to woolies to double check if i was supposed to work yesterday and now im in deep shit with my manager and i think she may have less respect for me cos i didnt turn up for a shift i didnt know i had. Today at work things and she apologised many times to her. now i have a bad record at woolies. made my last day with my yr 12 friends sad cos i was upset that work is pressuring me and my manager doesnt understand i do need freedom from woolies when i worked 3 days in the weekday more (late shifts) . fuck why do i work at woolies i hate it so much im sick of this job.

yes but it is completely different, very slow and calm! probably a good thing so the customers don't think that they are being yelled at.

"select cash or other payment type"
"Enter the item's code or lookup item"
"Select from the displayed items or lookup item alphabetically"
"Unexpected item in the bagging area, remove item or touch own bag"
"Item removed from the bagging area, return item to the bagging area before continuing"
"Have you scanned your everyday rewards card?"
"Swipe or insert your card"
"Please take your change, notes are dispensed below the scanner"
Ahhh the good times
We were gonna come up with a name for the voice, but we never got round to it
ahahahaCalm down, It's not the worst thing in the world, I'm sure your manager doesn't hate you becauase you missed a shift.
I've done it before, I just completely forgot I was going to work in the morning and I got a phone call 10 minutes after I was supposed to start asking where I was, but nothing bad happened, I just turned up 15 minutes late.

yes it is at times it is, my mum says i should record my weekly shifts in a book when its easier to write them on my phone, yeah well i looked on the wrong day my fault but yr 12 celebrations and excursions comes first. the roster text is so tiny lol

Had a breif look at a roster on my first shift yesterday.
Wow it looks so rediculously complicated, it's not funny. I didn't have a god look at it, but it just looks horrible to read from!

lol cos most my woolies store has facebook besides my store manager i think, my woolies has our own group on facebook lol but i dont talk to my managers on facebook just my friends in service, meat, deli
but i hate having to go and check the rosters every week and recording the times on my phone but its the only way for me to remember and still i didnt go to my shift when i had an end of year school beach day and i forgot that i was working and i got mixed up on the day i was suppposed to work. lol

Nah you can't. McDonalds has a fantastic online system - Woolies should look at that after the WorkBrain epic fail..

So what's the go with getting cigarettes whilst at a non S/S checkout?
You can't secure the register whilst a transaction is in progress, and you can't leave your checkout unattended if not secured.
Do you call somebody to get them for you? Seems to be the only thing you can do. I will ask next time I work though.

at my woolies store they banned us getting cigatettes for the customers. now they get it at the liquour or smoke shop its the law. cos under 18's who work at woolies cant sell them to customers
