i've had to that before - not as an entire shift but just for an hour or two once when it was really quiet. it's amazing how much dust and dirt gets into all these weird places.

we have always been told (at least at coles) that we have to leave a minimum of $500 in our drawer when we do a clearance, because for some reason most of the customers seem to get large amounts of money out in our store. a supervisor told me once that it takes up too much time to get money out...

does anyone know how to get into the store if it's closed? i've just realised i have a shift starting at 12.45 and i have no idea how to get in.

we only got the flybuys message a week ago, but i don't really care about it. i normally just start scanning and don't pay attention to it. i never ask for flybuys at the start of a transaction anyway, only at the end. here in victoria, we get paid public holiday raters for the sunday and the...

i like the name badges better too. they're very shiny. i got given two. i got one last night and another one today because the first one had my name in capital letters instead of lowercase letters. should work, i know a couple of people at work bought tv's and used their discount card and it...

oh thank god we are definitely getting the new name badges. mine is so horrible. doubt mine will have the proper e on it though. i'm glad that i don't have to deal with bogans. all i have to deal with are annoying tourists from melbourne. i am still failing to see how jess is unprofessional...

i can't wait to get a new name badge, the one i have now accidentally went through the wash a few times and it somehow got holes randomly stabbed in it. it looks a bit like a dog attacked it. my CSM actually thought that i stabbed it with a pen to "decorate it." there are girls at my store...

for some reason i just really don't like them. i think it's just the colour. plus i don't particularly like polo shirts. although, i haven't actually seen them up close. none of the coles in my area have them yet. i don't see what was wrong with the blue ones though. i never had the problem of...

did anybody just see that thing on today tonight about coles? something about the CEO wanting to make prices better or something. i wasn't really focusing because all i could look at was the staff in the background wearing those yuck brown shirts. i dread the day we have to start wearing those...

nah you can't insert cards and use the chip at my store. i think we're getting that sometime soon-ish. my first instinct would be to call a supervisor but then again i don't want them to freak out and run away with all their groceries. i might ask on my next shift because i'm a bit curious now.

what do you do when the signatures don't match on a credit card? i've never had it happen to me before, but i realised today that i don't know what to do if it does. is there a cancel somewhere on the screen that i press?

i got my job through handing in my resume. i had the same thing happen to me, there were no jobs online, but i did an expression of interest. then there were signs in my store saying they needed people, so i handed in my resume and got the job. =]. depends on the store really. the store where my...

our tea room is a bit sad as well. i'm pretty sure we don't have cups, and we don't have a tv either, apart from the one they use at inductions i guess. they play the trolley jingle over and over again really loudly and the lights are never on.

we only have a little sign at the bottom of the screen at the registers reminding us to ask customers if they have any green bags. I never ask though, especially when I'm on express.

The stationery is located in the aisle near the freezers in my store as well. Same goes for birthday stuff, and toilet paper. The first time I saw all the changes they made to the health and beauty aisle, all I could think was that it was really bright. I don't know why they need all the...
