Nope it was 18K, they cleaned them out of everything they had on hand. paid with a card, and yeh, people are in lots of trouble over it. They actually broke federal law or something....

we had a six carton limit, but appaz someone at the Big W nearish to where I work didn't get the message, they sold one customer $18,000 worth, in the one transaction!!! managers were pissed, they're calling it smoke gate lol!

Are you talking about those black produce crates!! theres millions! thats rough! pallets and bins arn't to bad, there arn't heaps of them I feel your pain though, we've got perishables/longlife stocktake in just over a month and I have to run the stocktake and count all perishables rooms and...

we trade 110, not too bad compared to some stores.

Re: leave I have like none, AL only 40hrs because I just used 100hrs up when I went on hols in January and very little sick leave, can't remember how much, I also used all my accrued sick leave as I was very sick late last year ( in hospital etc). It v. depressing to see all your leave gone...

Yeh IGA's can be pretty different, some are like proper nice supermarkets while others are total shitholes!! There is a totally feral one near where I live, the service is ok but the store is decrepit, all the shelving is rusty and there are more out of stocks then in stocks! and they don't sell...

Yeh me too, 6am is my rostered start time, sometimes i start earlier depending on what is going on. you get used to them after a while, and best of all no traffic on the way to work! 5am start and midnight finish in the same week, I feel your pain shinji, I used to do shit like that before I...

alright! *high fives* Saturdays are my least fav day, big load, lots of sickies and no one wants to work

I'm 2nd dept bakery, but you guys know way more than me, I only know mostly propbake and bakery stock take stuff. too long ago lol

Hi Stretford welcome to the board, Perishables is chilled dairy stock eg, yogurt, dips, cheese, meatex, juice, desserts, and meals like pasta and garlic bread. all frozen food, milk, and eggs. As a perishables assistant you could be doing many things, but most common and easiest duties are...

lol my dept manager (who is a woman) was walking around wearing a name badge that said "Robert" on it the other day. I was like "WTF???" lol She said she left hers at home and that was the only spare they could find. The funniest thing is that nobody could remember any "Robert's" working in the...

Perishables Represent! *high fives* lol

mine says 2ICMANAGER Totally agree its based on experience and knowledge. In my store all the dept managers and 2ic's are older and are respected, I'm the youngest manager at 21 but I have worked for the company for a long time and I'm an expert in my dept and therefore respected. There is...

no they don't! at least not in any store I've worked in. non-salaried 2ic's are still managers and service supervisors aren't. only service 3ic, 2ic, and CSM are. I'll tell any SS off, esp over dubious scanning policies. (not that I'm saying yours was Babikakez, you were clearly in the right...

out of date 52 :)

That's the same with my store, deli always has the most sickies in the whole store, the poor 2ic is always on the verge of a meltdown by 12pm, as they are also quite understaffed. Yeh that's what I always used to do if I didn't have a locker, but I'd stick a padlock on my bag. I hate to think...

you are entitled to one, and definitely ask, when i started at my current store I was told that there were no lockers, and I'm a 2ic who works full time, and then like three months later a new casual who works on checkouts just starts and gets a locker!!! wtf! so I went to the cash office and...

lol this was my fucking nightmare today! soooo many markdowns! went through 5 rolls, which is a lot for my dept, so much milk!! Whole dept smashed, esp eggs, had to overlay half the case. plus one of the dairy cases broke down just to add more stress to the day, and I had to assist checkouts 4...

or try stacking some milk! 9x2L bottles may not seem that heavy but once you've stacked 60, 5 high, along with another 40 6x3L they get pretty freakin heavy!

Whatever you troll....
