Our TV is on GO! or Channel 7I notice most people are too scared to change the channel. So usually its on 9 all day during the Olympics atm and is never changed to anything else.
I ussualy put it on GO...or if its around 7ish channel 10.I notice most people are too scared to change the channel. So usually its on 9 all day during the Olympics atm and is never changed to anything else.
Yeah thats a bitch. Once after a 7 - 3 shift, i drove home...pretty tired, so took a nap. As soon as my head hit the pillow the service manager calls asking me if i could work in grocery, i ask when they want me in and she goes "As soon as you can make it."lol got called up asking if I could do 6-9 in dairy and then just after I hang up the phone rang again and got asked if I could come in at 5 lol.
I don't know why they called me, I've never done anything in dairy. Think it's just face-up but don't see how it could take four hours.
LOL.Meh we just don't have the numbers of the Woolworths kids?
Did anyone read in Store Comms this morning Ian's reply to Today Tonight over their unit pricing story? To recap, TT ran a story (Tuesday I think) that Coles unit pricing was a myth and they had huge discrepancies on products such as tea, toothpaste and sour cream. Coles got heaps of complaints to head office so they investigated and found:
- they compared a 50pk of tea with a 100pk of tea
- they compared toothpaste with a toothbrush
- they compared a Coles 200g sour cream with a Bulla 300g sour cream
Of course these are going to cost more!!
The sad thing is that the customers won't know this, TT won't apologise and even if it airs on say MediaWatch hardly anybody watches that. But next week there will be a Woolworths story/beatup on a similar issue so I doubt it will really affect the bottom line.
haha i know right...so many times customers have come in and i ask them for fly buys and they say "Oh...safeway does fly buys now?"LOL.
don't worry, most people who watch today tonight are too stupid to differentiate woolworths from coles.
If you believed everything Today Tonight told you you'd be one paranoid person - everyone's out to get you.Meh we just don't have the numbers of the Woolworths kids?

Oh my lord. I've also had countless people ask me what store they are in whilst serving them at the register. Like seriously?!!haha i know right...so many times customers have come in and i ask them for fly buys and they say "Oh...safeway does fly buys now?"
Amen to that! I would rep but it says I need to share my rep around before giving it to you again mauhah.But yeah, no matter what the price is, how it differs to other prices, how good our service is, customers and the general public are going to complain about everything we do.
We had the heath and beauty refresh done a few months ago (feels like forever ago now actually). Basically changes where items are located, bit purple block thing hangs from the roof that says 'heath and beauty' we also have one for 'baby'. the aisle is divided into different sections with signs saying like 'skin care' or whatever. Looks pretty good although its a bit retarded in our store because you get people asking 'where's the stationary' and you have to reply with 'baby aisle'... might just be where stationary is located in my store but it sounds funny.If you believed everything Today Tonight told you you'd be one paranoid person - everyone's out to get you.

Apparently next week our store's getting a "health & beauty" refresh, what does that mean? It seems pretty major because they needed a few people to work overnight with contractors and stuff.
Yeah, I just noticed that they've already installed new lights over the personal health, baby and toilet paper aisles. The new lights are so bright and they look so much better they should have done more of the shop with them.Looks pretty good although its a bit retarded in our store because you get people asking 'where's the stationary' and you have to reply with 'baby aisle'... might just be where stationary is located in my store but it sounds funny. !
Yea it definitely looks weird how the baby and heath and beauty aisles are presented differently to the rest of the store. Our baby aisle has like nappies, baby food, bottles and clothing as well as medicinial products (panadol etc) and some beauty stuff. Heath and Beauty has all the shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothpaste etc.Yeah, I just noticed that they've already installed new lights over the personal health, baby and toilet paper aisles.

Our stationary section is on the left hand side of the chip aisle with the cards and paper plates and stuff. Except for scisssors which for some reason are located with the sowing supplies.
