does anyone know when we get paid? like every wednesday for woolies? how about coles?

 

[tooheyz]

[tooheyz]

wow! i love your rant!


ummm, yeah i still havent got a staff card yet, though i do have my uniform and my badge. MuaHUAh yeah the uniform is just a tad daggy, i rather be wearing black and white than the daggy kmart shirts!

yeah im 18, so i can do the registers that r connected to the service desks if you knw what i mean; can sell cigarettes and everything, but the thing im not allowed to do yet is refunds

hmmm.. i wanna do layby.. LOL they dont do anything! just stand around and do nothing, but still get paid! MuahUAH

but yeah, i did the floor once, and i tell you what! the registers r heaps better than doing the floor!

 

[iambored]

why cant you do refunds?

 

[jesska]

i've done refunds before...like on the desk...but the person on front-end was like supervising...but my line manager has become a nazi w/ me...it seems since i got the complaint bout me... but wat can u do?? so im keeping a low-key...it really sux tho...coz i went frm like 20-sumthing hours a week...to this week im only doin 3 hours...im spending way more than im earning...and i cant even ask for more shifts...coz like everyone has been cut down...sucks!!

 

[MiuMiu]

What was the complaint about jess?

 

[tooheyz]

yeah i cant do refunds - i dont know why
i mean i dont mind - ppl get abused from doing refunds, so im glad im not doing it.

yeah me too man, i averaged bout 10 hours a week since i started, and the last few weeks i havent been getting any shifts..

hmm, how am i going to pay for textbooks?!

 

[iambored]

see, that's bad. i want a job where i know i will always be getting work. i am undecided on things like this. there are jobs where you know you will be working but they wre more boring, and jobs liek colesmyer where you may not get as many shifts bu they are interesting

 

[mp3mojo]

well u can do part-time, dat way u'll definately get a fixed number of shifts per week

 

[jesska]

the complaint was like a huge misunderstanding between bout three staff...but my name was the only one put on the complaint...i dunno how tho...coz i got no name-tag...but the manager was ok after i explained it all to her...if ur in the union u shud apply for the textbook scholoarship...they send forms like i dont remember when!! oh no!! but yeah...there's stuff in the union...
