    Back in the day, we used to use the chime button each morning to alert the store staff that the store was open for trading. I don't know if that was the intended use of it and I don't think it is used anymore for that purpose or any purpose.

    I have heard there is talk of using an ipod touch with RF capabilities, but I think its unlikely to happen. Think about how delicate they are and how much abuse the RF guns take. This is only a rumor going around. Also, we have around 870 stores.

    There are currently six WW sushi stores with more planned. Sushi is also avaliable at Crows Nest and Paddington Thomas Dux. I believe some of the sushi stores are Eastgardens, Northbridge, Neutral Bay, Caringbah, Mona Vale & Kellyville. I've had it, it's really good!

    There is a manual and TCR's on storenet. Dead easy, just follow the steps in the book, read it first though, its a good idea to have the paperwork ready beforehand.

    If you have a shift rostered in a department other than your 'home department' and you have a shift in your 'home department' that week, it will show up on your roster with a * symbol next to it. Its the same in my store, its ok to use staff from another department as long as you check with...

    It sounds like how our stores were run pre project phoenix. We called it systems, now cash office and systems are combined into store services.
