    how exactly in regards to toxic? Yeah same with mine. There’s so much bitching behind people’s back, it’s honestly sad and a lot of the regular team members that have been here for 2 years, are here like 3 to 4 days every week are salty because they just hired some new kids, yes kids (18-19)...

    Do I have less chance of being admitted if I transfer during march rounds?

    Yes you do tbh, because most of the positions would be filled already with people who have been made offers.

    full time transfer from MQ com to USYD/UNSW/UTS commerce- What kind of gpa do i need?

    Re: full time transfer from MQ com to USYD/UNSW/UTS commerce- What kind of gpa do i n Sorry, you likely won't get in. Summer school results won't be out until its too late for UAC/USYD to receive your results. Remember its not actually the *date* of when the results come out, but it also takes...

    Don't read that page, you will lose your sanity very easily - the things that customers complain about are so stupid and some of them are flat out insolent . i try not to read it. Especially as many customers there love bitching about staff, I nearly lost some of my sanity when I read one post...

    Hey guys, has your store ran out of the Marvel Discs yet? Mine has and won't be restocked again. Gotta love telling customers that and then getting a sigh and an eye-roll :/

    yeah trust me, go part time. As soon as too many of the CSM's reliable workers turn 20 at once, TRUST ME, they will go on a hiring spree, to find younger cheaper school kids to basically replace you and then you'll only get a 3 hour shift a week (or none), or rely on being called in which is...

    @Astroman, I'm about to go on holidays, and as such, told my line manager I'm completely free - I've suddenly gone from 2-3 days of work a week (each 4 hours) to 5 days a week (maximum for a casual) in the next two weeks. Just think as I do - it means he/she likes you, thinks you're reliable...

    OMG YES thank you CSM! Love you to bits, rostered on for 5 hours that Saturday, and not to boast but I do feel a little bit special because I saw a handful of many other casuals that are regularly on Saturday weren't put on the roster for Easter Sat. Or maybe they weren't available, can't really...

    Ok and how would I go about asking for a part-time contract? Or do I just wait for my CSM to ask me? I'm getting a stable number of hours at the moment, but I am indeed very concerned that when I turn 20 and my wage goes up, my 'regular' hours are going to take a huge hit to compensate

    Nanakid, you sound awesome :) Hahah I am sure you would be awesome to work under and if I ever move to Melbourne, ill hit you up. :P :) As a casual, currently, I get 8-10 hours a week, but I'm really happy with that because it means I can strike a balance between work, study, and social life...

    The best bit about self serve, compared to checkouts, is that you can actually move around and keep your legs busy. I, comparison, dont like standing around doing nothing, because that supervisor that hates me to death will see me and accuse me of doing nothing (I'm serious she's so bad, that...

    Hey all, I'm back :) So I've been in the job for, wow, just a few months shy of a year. I was just thinking today.I think after all this time in the job, I know what exactly is my least favourite thing about the job. Those customers that bring their own bags. Those green ones and the cold blue...

    MQ Arts/ Commerce to Usyd Arts or Arts/ Commerce

    I got some bad news for you, my friend is in a very similar situation as you, attempted four subjects this year each semester, but failed one at the end of semester 2. She wants to transfer to USYD too. On UAC's University of Sydney page, they say directly you need 48 credit points (8 subjects...

    Awesome!!! Just got my final results for semester 2, two 63's (-.- so close to a credit but its WAM not GPA thankfully so this takes out some of the sting) and a 59. Brought my WAM up to 59. I'm feeling quite confident now tbh :) I'm particularly interested in the English faculty, it's what...

    Mmmm I agree, the "customer is always right" policy is a load of bull, and I'm disgusted my 2nd-main supervisor enforces is whenever she is around! ugh. Ahh alright! interesting story. I do always wonder whats the level of BS Supervisors experience compared to the generic "team member." I'm...

    Ah yes my Line Manager told us about the VoC a few weeks ago. Can you remind me how can we actually access it online and read some customers comments? I'm seriously interested in reading up what some people have to say! I sign off every time I finish serving a customer AND there isn't another...

    I've been a checkout lad for 5 months now. Second job, juggling it with uni study. It sure does look different compared to when you're the customer.

    I want to transfer to be closer to family but also because I've heard of how fantastic some faculties are here, but anyways. I've emailed USYD directly a few months ago asking what grades would I need for this external transfer and they said exactly, I quote "You will need a Pass to Credit...
