    Haha, just quietly I have NEVER had a shift cancelled in over the 2.5 years I've been there. And only once have I been given zero shifts for a week (last Christmas it was). I am sooo lucky :p

    I assume thats the case, and I assume its only in standalone stores (ie not in a shopping centre) that don't have a contracted company to collect them??

    we used to cram all 20 registers into our safe + all the SCO related money (spare coins + the funds taken from them each night). now we bag up the registers - soo much more space in safe and it saves not loading them into/out of trolley, having to use the hoist etc... much better idea...

    From memory (please anyone correct me if im wrong) Woolworths takes FOREVER to mail out the paper copy, but the info is available online using the 'pre-filling' service on e-tax presumably from today... Ahhh tax returns - I'm so glad I have such a simple one :P

    what the hell? so you're saying the registers stay at the front-end overnight with coins in it- but notes are taken down to cash office to go in safe... that has to be the strangest policy ever!

    eesh last night was sooo bad. Had to train 3 newbies on checkouts.... So, we had this guy transfer over to checkouts from produce cause he hurt his back (I was thinking WTF checkouts is the worst place to go...) anyways so I had to train him from the very beginning, which I thought fair enough...

    i gotta cash office question. after doing the change order, which is the better way to find out the total value of the change you have just given out. one cashier has told me to go into 'Cash Office Audit' and print out the report which tells you, but another has told me just to go into 'Store...

    haha wow, they really thought that through! SCO receipts used a smaller font size then standard checkouts before anyway... how did they shorten it? make font smaller? get rid of trading hours? get rid of that stupid ad for EDR cards?

    does this include rounding the total once a customer has hit 'cash'? cause i have had so many people call me over and ask how are they supposed to pay $1.02. lol does this include a button for them to push once they've signed (like NCRSCO did), so that they know it has worked and we need to...
