    There wasn't a like use-by date on the poster at all. The launch date was the 26th of October and the first 2000 employees to join up get the joining fee completely waived. If you're not in the first 2000, it's a joining fee of $160 (instead of $370) and an annual membership fee of $200...

    Just if anyone was wondering, I just did the Qantas Club membership thing... it's still only $200. If anyone's interested you call 13 11 31, enter your FF number then #, press 3 then 3. The Scheme number is 7280174 It's such a good deal!!! It would normally be like $775, but for us it's...

    I hate working during the exam period... I've had 3 weeks off but other people are still going, so trying to replace sickies over the weekend was horrible! I had to do Friday night without a backup SVR, with 3 brand new staff and down 3 staff... not cool! I had to go from 5-10:30 without a break...

    The policy at our store is that service 100s don't exist. There's been far too many incidents, not at our store, where staff have ended up in hospital. As a result, staff safety is put before losing a couple of hundred dollars. In my time, I've only seen about 4 or 5 anyways. I was only...

    Yeah I know what you mean, but I reckon my scan rate is actually higher for like baskets. Because you can scan all the items, then hit enter, stopping the clock, and pack them while the customer's getting their payment method ready/doing their card thing.

    Our CSM and 2ic always follow up the refunds and voids. At the front, we have scan rates and the $ total of voids displayed, with the operator names (not numbers) blacked out. If someone has more than $100 per week (excluding night supervisors - unrecalled saveds) they get investigated. They...

    1 man down all day? Our store's pretty much like that permanently. Last Sunday we were 5 down at 17:00. It's really frustrating. If our store is concerned about losing sales, wouldn't it make sense to work out why and try to fix it? If you saw the lines in our store over the weekends you'd know...

    Haha that's really hardcore... I was pretty lucky, I came in the week WowPos did in my store, so none of us had a clue what was happening. I fit right in! Speaking of which, today's my 3 year anniversary :)

    Sat would definitely be our busiest day. Almost all, if not all, registers would be used at some point in the day. 3 express registers are not brought out at all unless it's Christmas etc and are never used. At the most staffed time on Sat morning, we would probably have 4 express, 4 self...

    I'm not entirely sure how the SDA agreement sets breaks out, but this is how it works in my store. <3 hours and 45 minutes = no break 4 hours <6 hours= one tea break 6 hours < 7 hours = one tea and one meal 8 hours+ = two tea breaks and one meal break. We used to have a manager...

    Was today really really yuck for anyone else? Eww. It wasn't helped by us receiving a call supposedly from an employee saying they were high on drugs and would it be ok for them to work today. Not cool, I spent like an hour in the manager's office sorting it out when she got there, and getting...

    Wixxy why do you actually have such a high level of dissection dumps? The only time I'd ever do a dissection dump is if the barcode won't scan and I know the price or something like that, so it sounds a bit weird that you'd have 1000 of them in a Christmas week. Are your barcodes printing ok?

    With the barcode thing, if you get desperate, just type in random numbers so you get unknown item, then choose deli and services deli, then put in the price. It is practically the same thing that your supervisor will do anyways :) Had a horror day yesterday, I had every single longlife member...
