    It was confiscated because she and you were using it incorrectly. You or a family mamber cannot use a discount card that does not have your name or signature. If your mum wants to use your discount card you must be present with her. Otherwise she cannot use a discount card until her replacement...

    Thats right, I did cert III when I first became a 2IC even though I am completeing a uni degree in another field, I think it definitely helped me to provide better service and to be a better manager. Plus your books are provided and you are paid to attend the courses. Its also an extra...

    I'm from back in the day, hopefully we can get some of the oldies back, we had some great discussions on here! I also work in a million dollar store, I got appointed last year. I couldn't imagine going back to working in a small store again, the excitement of a big store makes the day fly...

    I also went to that, was a fun night but went a little too long! I went home around 11:30pm cause I had to work the next day. For a great cause though.

    If you are casual you don't need one. Some managers ask for a certificate to try to stop people from chucking a sickie, but your not legally required to provide one. I do believe that if possible, you, not your parents/partner, should really call in. I'd be more likely to believe you than if...

    This is also what I meant, not personally keeping it myself. They agree to hand it over or go put it in their locker.

    If the store hasn't opened yet you go through the staff entrance, its usually a door near the back dock. If there are no staff there to let you in there is usually a bell to ring to get their attention. during trading hours you just come through the front of the shop like customers. When you...

    we don't have any checkout staff except the CSM as first aiders because if there is an emergency they can't respond quickly. the benefit of being one is you are paid an allowance i think? I'm not one and don't intend to become one, I don't deal with screaming and blood very well lol

    As Pyro said it is determined by many factors, but dep. size, number of previous appointments, and sales/budget and audit results. it is not clear cut. I'm a salaried 2ic and usually work around 42hrs a week on a 6 4 roster like ytrbut said, and I'm in a medium sized dept. the manager works...

    err this sounds a bit bizzare,I think your just talking about next weeks ad, next week wc 28/06 is the beginning of the new financial year so buying and marketing are going hard to shore up sales and 1st qtr numbers. The brochure is full of half price lines but this is for all stores, in nsw at...

    No, its primary operations are retail and hotels, it doesn't export goods. For more information I would suggest reading the company annual report: http://phx.corporate-ir.net/External.File?item=UGFyZW50SUQ9MzU2MTkxfENoaWxkSUQ9MzQ4NzgzfFR5cGU9MQ==&t=1

    What do you mean by "exports"? they have operations in NZ as well as India but they don't really export anything.
