i want them to bring in spot checks without needing to sign on, and the ability to force sign yourself off if you try sign into another register
Yes that would be soo convienient especially if you had to cover s/s and express at the same time!

you can buy phone credit from every register...what about being able to write stuff off from the registers instead of manually writing it. would save soo much time!

yesssssss.
I was under the impression that they deliberately left that out to prevent people becoming complacent about staying signed on.
Spot checks woolies make hard, back at my old store when i did cash and we counted the tills in the office the other evening cashier bought a cheap machine that counted coins and notes based on the weight, and we were much more accurate and efficent because of it. My whole time I reckon the machine was wrong once and that was due to a fake note...
All youd have to do is use till inserts that have removable coin compartments and you could spot check in about 60 seconds flat...
And got a glimpse of the new managers striped shirts, Im not saying their bad, but I find them hilarious, it seems like woolies is trying to make a green barbershop quartet out of teh store managment team...

I don't want to say one is better than the other because I've never worked at Maccas BUT
I'd like to think Woolies is reasonably fun FOR A PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. Its not going to be a theme park, but I'm sure you get that
. There are pro's and cons for each, in the end you have to weigh up whats best for you. We can't tell you the right answer.If it helps, I would pick Woolies. Because we're super cool.
Right guys?Originally Posted by townie 
you know you can reset the pinpad without unplugging/restarting the PoS. just hold down Savings, Cheque and Cancel.
I've used it a few times already, it was an absolute lifesaver, especially when really busy.
Re: Upgrade, is anyone else finding the new O.M. really annoying? it just seems unnecessary for the $10/$5 notes, and even if needed it should be after the notes in the menu, not after coins.
I kept stuffing up the spot checks when i started today, had to be careful.

O.M. also annoys me. And what's the point of splitting up the 10c and 20c "rolls"? I generally hate upgrades, always problems. Our registers are all slow and we did have many problems with eft.

yeah it's bloody annoying because the trucks that deliver to stores who get Grocery deliveries every day has to drive THROUGH our town to get to them lol
But those every 3 days are a panic for our very small back yard, plus it's all un covered too...I say they need to put a roof over it and put some fucking pallet racking out there to save room. That way there's no need for a major panic when it starts to rain

Oh god, don't take the Maccas job!
My friends work at maccas and they get 2 shifts a week and they are yucky close shifts (tones of cleaning and stuff). Get an average $70 a week.
I work at Safeway and get the highest retail pay in Australia for people my age, most shifts out of all my friends, and pretty fun work environment (better then maccas).
I've been working for 1 month and 1 week, and I have got just under $1000 - I showed my friends that and they nearly fell of their chair. That is a LOT of money for a 15 year old.
BTW - I am paid to bludge. We have hardly NO customers when we go to the after hours doors, hahahhaha. Does get boring though.
Thanks
