haha, only what, four months laterIt's ok, I finally got mine crisis averted!
I ordered mine in October, before the new uniform had officially launched! so nearly 6 months.haha, only what, four months later
one of our supervisors has been waiting since the end of november for hers...
She doesn't even go here!I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy.
What's a drill down? I never lift the 30pk cartons if I can help it. I tell the customers to put it back into their trolleys. Can't they have some sign at all counters that says no lifting of heavy items eg. coke cartons, dog food, 24pk water (way worse than the 30pk cartons IMO) etc? You'd think someone with common sense would put that on to prevent the staff from getting injured.i had an operator hurt themselves today lifting a 30pk of coke off a register. She tore a tendon in her shoulder i was like AGH FUCK! JUST GO NOW AND SEE THE SSM!!! i felt really bad, shes an older lady and shes prob one of my favs. Seeing her cry broke my heart i jumped on her register and finished serving the customer she was on. The SSM was pissed cuz she should have asked to customer not to lift it up and use drill downs. She made me go along and tell everyone that they MUST use drill downs and she was writing it out for all the operators to sign.
oooh and Mathew please dont think i was trying to be mean or suggest you had been out or anything by what i wrote. It does seem a little OTT to count change 3 times, but i do believe the old MOS actually checked that it was counted 3 times. You can never be too careful. Remember money is everything to Woolworths, no matter how little it is
At least someone's thinking of meWhat are the other stores running homeshop in Hobez? I think only Meadows does it up here, and probs Dev-Rock as well I guess. You are New Town yes? Sometimes when i see comparative data for Tas i look to see yours and then think of how sad that is.
You're right it was unwitting, what is STAR? KPMG? Aren't you doing like Terrorism studies or something? Sounds a lot more interesting than accounting.Personally, I think these are pretty good, you've done well with the whole STAR method (knowingly or not). I'm doing an app for a KPMG vac program at the moment, and unfortunately the questions they're asking kind of have nothing to do with anything I've done/achieved through Woolworths.
I found a new love for tickets yesterday! The time goes so quickly and it's not hard work at all, and I feel good learning new stuff. Although starting at 6AM was mildly scary because i had to walk to then end of my very long driveway in the dark and i could hear kangaroos jumping around but i couldn't see them.I'm used to 6am starts no problem (well yeah I try to get out of as many as I can but I WILL work them), but I have a bit of a mental barrier with 5am.
I am trying to convince my CSM to permanently add in a wednesday shift to my roster so that I never have to do Monday morning tickets (which is getting earlier and earlier - first time I ever did them it was a 7am start, now its 5am) ever again.
The items you look up on your POS - veggies, fruit, cool drinks, heavy items....etc.What's a drill down?
I eat before work and on my break. lol.I'm doing 6am-10am on Thursday. Can't remember the last time I did this shift let alone was rostered to do it (last time was a shift swap). Will have to get up at 4.45am, figured there is no reason to force myself to eat breakfast so early when I finish at 10.
Question: When you start so early in the morning do you eat before work or wait for a break?
I still wouldn't eat if I worked 6am - 3pm (we do 9hr shifts at Coles) because I would get a break at 8am but I'm assuming your breaks aren't so regular like mine. I just can't eat that early in the morning - I rarely have breakfast and usually don't eat until after 9am.I eat before work and on my break. lol.
Granted I usually do 6am - 4pm. So i needs the food/energy. lols.
but huzzah for setting up seafood on thurs/fri. requires like 3-4hrs to finish setting up and cleaning. so that's basically half of my shift done. 8D
Firstly, the idea of someone loving tickets disgusts me. I admit I miss tickets, but thats more because Saturday afternoons on checkouts is proving to be TORTURE. Especially when my CSM regularly sends people home for pathetic reasons, so we end up super short.You're right it was unwitting, what is STAR? KPMG? Aren't you doing like Terrorism studies or something? Sounds a lot more interesting than accounting.

so lucky with ur 10hr shifts. lol.I still wouldn't eat if I worked 6am - 3pm (we do 9hr shifts at Coles) because I would get a break at 8am but I'm assuming your breaks aren't so regular like mine.

I'm not a big breakfast eater normally even if I don't have to work (didn't eat until 9.40am today), so it depends on my shift/breaks as to what/how much I eat before work. If I get a lunch/dinner break I always have Subway thoughHow can you not eat before work? I couldn't do it.
My average day is 8am-6.30pm, so I have breakfast before work, break at around 11am (15 mins, usually just have toast or something), lunch around 2pm (1 hr if I'm lucky), meant to have another 15 min break but I just don't have the time so I don't.
