well..once a guy held a knife to a nightfills throat after hours and took all the smokes..
another time..someone hid in woolies early in the morning and picked the locks for cigarettes
another time someoen managed to steal a bag with 2 cartons in it after going thru the chekout and his card declined
so he went to the car to get his otehr card..but he took the smokes with him
no one noticed...until he naver came back
and this guy who was using a fake card

the first 2 were definatly done by someone who works in woolies
because how else would ppl manage to come in after hours

and all of em have never been caught

omg how could someone who works there and steals smokes from the shop NOT be caught?!

haha we had this dumb ass who stole smokes from one of the managers from the staff cage. Theres a camera directed onto the staff cage and this guy actually moved the cage away from the camera (while in full view of it, i think he even looked at it a few times) and stole half a packet of smokes. Real worth it.

i used to be friends witha guy who used to work at big w and he used to steal dvds by taking them to kidswear, where he had a knife hidden under the rack and he would break open the safers, put the dvd inhis pants and continue working. Then, when he told me to go kill myself, we dobbed him in :) and now hes a security risk. hahaha karma dickhead

whoever asked about anzac day.....

only small shops like newsagents or chemists or corner stores can open from 9 am, and only if they are in the street. Any big chain stores, and anybody who is in a shopping centre CANNOT open before 1pm, or they face a $500 000 fine or gaol term. It's the LAW....

Rules for workers:
if you see me standing there do not turn around and keep do something else. do not turn around 2 mins later to see i am still standing there and finally serve me without even greeting me. do not let a line build up while you continue to do nothing and the other worker has to look after all the other customers. if you have something important to do at least tell me you will be with me in a minute instead of leaving me to wonder why you are being rude with your back to the counter. do not talk to the other workers instead of serving me.

that sounds so self centred :p i just hate workers who don't like helping the customers and leave me waiting for 5 minutes, they should get another job without customer service

Rule for customers: Make your presence known (politely). If you just stand there in a passive manner then the employee may not take note of you as someone wanting to be served and will carry on with something else that may well be more important than you suspect (unlikely, but you never know).

ah yes reminds me of a guy who whistled at me to get my attention...like you do to a dog. uggghhhh that was the number one insult i received on checkouts...so sexist.
he got his cigarettes thrown at him ..well not reallyu just slammed on the table with change and continued serving express groceries. i always hated that register esp if we were short of ppl cos you had to handle cigarettes, the growing express line and on sunday mornings the millions of people who wanted their newspapers !!!!!

jesus, people tell you that you look good? And remember that people only approach you as soon as you walk through the door if they're on some kind of commision, so make sure you talk to the people who are less eager:D

Was that first comment meant to be funny or hit a nerve? Because it isnt/didnt.

No, they approach you anyway. Ie lots of regular clothing retail stores, im sure most of them dont work on commision.

Neither, I was saying that it's unprofessional that retail staff compliment a customer on what they're wearing.
