    The Woolworths Thread

    guy came in a few days ago, walked straight to liquor, grabbed a bottle of white and a 24 pack of beer and walked right out the entrance. I found the footage, it's under a minute start to finish, probably the most efficient thing to happen in the store that day. we had a security guard, I...

    The paper is perforated so it can be ripped, but it still needs a good folding first. I guess a pair of scissors doesn't seem so bad for one page, but you have between 4000 and 7000 tickets to rip and that would take like a million years with a pair of scissors, and it would be hard to get them...

    This is pretty fast, the last two tears can be a bit faster but it was tough to explain how - you might work it out (or a faster method of your own) once you see what's happening. If you struggle try taking a blank page and writing numbers on the tickets like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 so...

    The Woolworths Thread

    The problem is that just making a new menu doesn't make a new 'button' on the right hand side of the POS screen, so you can never bring up any of the new menus you're making. But I wonder if it might be possible to add some kind of submenu, within one of the menus you already have? So you could...

    i'm the same, i felt the same way when i was looking for a job and i still feel anxious about operating for the reasons you mention (i've operated a register for five minutes in seven years, and it was five minutes too long) but yeah supermarkets have plenty of other jobs. whatever you are you...

    woops, my mistake, i had no idea aus and nz stores were so different in this regard. over here cheques are picked up automatically and we just verify that they're correct, makes it impossible to screw up. sorry for any confusion

    The Woolworths Thread

    office staff don't process cheques in that way, like all non-cash tenders they're picked up from registers automatically by the end of day process. they just sit in the clear banking screen till we clear bank the next day. i don't think there's even a way to influence the cheque tender type...

    Sure dude. Couple of options, first one: Sign into ISIS, click 'Label Print', then click the Generate tab in the top left. Wait for it to load. Then click up where it says 'Trading:' and select 'Cigarettes', then click the green tick on the right. Wait for it to load again. Click 'Select All'...

    Man, pricing is so full of little details to remember. I'm going to have to do everything five times before I'm confident at it, and then there's various alerts and maintenance rejection problems which will only come up every so often, which I feel like I'll always be hopeless at. Luckily I...

    I found out some more stuff, snooping around the office looking through folders. The job is also called systems operator, so it sounds like it's exactly the job Australian stores had a while back? There's a list of things I have to do every day, mostly printing different kinds of reports and...

    Yeah she didn't seem to really have a clue, whereas I have better product knowledge than anyone I know. Hopefully that'll be the deciding factor!

    The Woolworths Thread

    The department is called Price Integrity, and though it is nominally separate from the office, my SM is looking to integrate them more, so that office workers can help out with heavy ticket weeks, and pricing can assist in the office if needed. I start training for office work in a couple...

    Hi guys, I've been lurking this thread the past couple weeks since it was the top result when I googled for various Woolworths stuff. I'm actually working at a Countdown in New Zealand (my username should tell you which city :)), been doing nightfill for five years but recently I got offered...
