    Good question. Unfortunately you can online check on woolies computers (all the reports are run internally on the store's database reports). You can check the scan rates of all other stores in your area group through 'launchpad'. Tbh, scan rate is a silly measure. Because smokeshop operators...

    WOW People Portal is what your looking for. You'll need to remember your google+ store account to login.

    I've been through the same thing. My experience was, you need to clarify your contract with your new store FIRST (get it in writing and possibly signed by them, but not submitted formally). For me, becuse I already had a relationship with the "new" CSM as she used to work at our store previously...

    We're still around. You've got to remember all the newer, young employees of school age predominantly use social media & apps like snapchat, facebook, twitter, whatsapp. None of them would even be aware a forum like this exists. Some employees at our store use google+ but its mainly facebook...

    Speak to your line manager about converting to PPT to make them aware of your intentions. And keep on raising it up every so often until they consider it. Hopefully availability opens up in the near future and you'll be signed Put simply - theres nothing they can do. As long as work gives...

    It's possible i guess, maybe if you're a really mature type and have previously demonstrated you can handle responsibility or in the strange event that all the supervisors transferred and no one's there to put their hand up....then its highly unlikely. Being supervisor means you need to have a...

    ^quake has got the procedure bang-on! That's how I do it as well, and its basically the most efficient way. Pretty much, it comes down to practice (i know, its a bloody, mind-numbingly booorrrring task). Make sure you take your time initially with the folds. If you rush it, the tickets will just...

    They took the website down when they rebranded the rewards card, so just use the woolworths rewards card hotline. Call 1300 906 598 (obviously call charges apply)

    Having done relief shifts in BWS, you need not only need your RSA cert but also have the competency card - they'll scan a copy for the office to put on file. Also you'll need to do the smoking/tobacco inductions because you'll be serving cigarettes/rolling tobacco as well. Enjoyed the time there...

    Pfft... you're supervisor can go shove it (none of her business). Unless you celebrated in a ridiculously, obnoxious fashion ..... in which case, good on her and stuff everyone else :D

    Not buying the idea personally, cause customers just want to get hell outta there. Plus for that VOC campaign that ran till the end of last year, our store was basically bottom half of the state in all of the performance indicators haha: - Trolleys or baskets available: hardly - Queue...

    ^if you have ever worked in retail store operations, you would know the answer. In other news, we recieved a whole bunch of ipads for frontend department just recently. Apparently we're suppose to be conducting a quick 1-min survey to customers waiting in the queue about their "in-store...

    Peeps are being a little too critical of bernie14 here. You occasionally make a mistake here or there out of 100's of transactions daily, especially during peak trading. He'll learn from it and next time, be not so absent-minded when any card declines & customer needs to leave POS to get...

    Strange. Good news is I got paid, but bad news is it's about 10 hours less than what is on the payslip lol. I'm with NAB but other team members have yet to see funds in their account (most are with CommBank). Maybe an issue at woolies state payroll dept perhaps?

    Had the iTunes card activation/redemption problem numerous before. One time, this kid scratched off a few characters of the redemption code cause he was too eager to use it & buy some apps ... but that made it impossible to enter the full card number into the app store so he couldn't load his...

    The new agreement is "still" being negotiated between the unions and Woolworths. It was supposed to be finalised around September last year, but i'm guess neither side wanted to budge from their position (unions want pay rise, woolies management under pressure to give them that due to declining...

    Used to happen ALL the time at our store when we first got coin-locked trolleys. Really easy solution - just tell the customer, "after speaking to my supervisor, on this one-time occasion, we will unlock the trolley for you. But next time, please bring a gold coin because its it acts a security...

    I can answer both those questions for you. First one with the 'RA RSTG950' pay code on your payslip refers to your superannuation. Woolworths (as are all companies obligated by Australian law) pay you a superannuation contribution into your super fund (once you enter the workforce and earn...
