    "Security to Sector 7-G" hahahah But in all seriousness, we do something similar, just more vague "Security on the floor" - it usually ends up with a couple of the "burly long life blokes" doing a quick sweep of the store as well anyway for laughs.

    I've had similar.. Working smokeshop, had bogan mum and twelvie bogan offspring come up to counter and mum asks for a random pouch of tobacco. Get this and ask the usual "papers or filters?" - mum asks bogan what papers he wants. I politely advise I won't be able to continue the transaction as I...

    https://www.facebook.com/denise.stallard.7/posts/455396297872425 You peeps seen this? Sure it's a dig at Coles :devil: but it's still quite stupid - I'm not aware you being able to get credit advances at any major retailer in Australia? Certainly not Woolies anyway.

    So, if I came in with my mum's bank card? lol, I'd kick up the hugest stink... Surely there'd be some outdated federal law about destruction of property of the state?

    Well life got the better of me, completely forgot about BoS for a while! Just got through a good few pages, I'll just respond to some recent posts. :) I could almost swear they're made in the same factory, from the same milk? Depending on how tech savvy you are, you could pull the computer...

    It'd come from your local store, typically from a server sitting in your comms room.

    Quit a couple of weeks ago. Best thing I ever did! All the crap I was getting from these 2 particular supervisors, plus my SSM being a complete and utter bitch, plus my SM being a complete and utter wanker just made me want to rip my hair out sometimes. Actually feeling so good now, walking in...

    So, my 2iC keeps giving me shifts way after the roster has been put up on the wall, and not telling me about them - obviously making me look bad to the poor supervisor who I tell I'm not coming in when they ring me because I'm already somewhere else. Example, I "apparently" have a shift today...

    Was the screen responding fine to using other menus? Some model registers have the ability to have their screens re-calibrated by the Service Desk.

    Yep, a few weeks back. They had a trolley full of cooler bags with meat in them, noticed they were being followed by a group of burly longlife assistants, so they made a break for one of the emergency exits. The alarms, plus us chasing them, must have given them enough of a fright to pull a...

    Unfortunately, it's these little things that have been mounting up to me wanting to call it quits with Woolies. The only problem is, I love Woolies as a company, and as a retailer; but the staff at my store drive me absolutely fucking bonkers!

    All Yours, "Natural Redheads" WTF? Also, about a month and a half ago I told my CSTM I needed yesterday, and next Saturday off - I'm a casual. Apparently she didn't write it in the diary, then went on leave, leaving the 2IC to handle rosters. The 2IC rostered me on yesterday 3:30 - 6:30, which...

    Tassie is sort of like that, everything is behind the flaps, and the prices are UNDER the flaps. That's weird, I thought the new laws were federal. Hmm. But yes, we have the prices of cartons only displayed also.

    By law, cigarettes shouldn't have packet prices publicly visible. So how, or why, would he have been so inclined to try and get scanning policy?
