Yay, got supervisor numbers back today. But they'll be gone by Tuesday when CSM comes back from his week away. Oh well.
Was really busy today. Its a long weekend in WA, and of course we're open for the whole thing. I was 8-5.30 today, and then 10-6.30 on both sun and mon. We had all registers open bar one, with one trained supervisor, me doing numbers/refunds/snaps, and a manager who isn't checkout trained helping in any way possible. Was really hard. Of course, there was a supervisor working in liquor, but because we had no over 18 staff working, we couldn't swap anyone for her. That was perhaps the most annoying thing of it all. But everything was ok in the end, all the breaks got done, no one was too pissed off.

You can also use it for the 4c/litre off at Caltex Woolworths
Dan Murphys is part of the Woolworths chain too but you can't use discount card for it as the prices are low enough lol

says the one that's doing their hsc this year. get off the net and study.... and why the hell did you come to the woolworth's thread inthe firstplace if you just wanted to say that?Bainesy said:
@Babikakez: ahh; hahah. my mind is somewhere else lately. im pretty srue though; if you work long enough you do get some shares in woolies. that mighta been a hwile ago though. or im mixing it up with another company.
@theysaideasy: damn straight. hahah; we also cook some stuffi n the oven as well like hash browns; bacon; potatoe gems; chorizos; etc (not all of em at once though) for breakf---- taste testing =D
although our CSM (i thinkthat'swhat she is) despises my 2ic/manager and tries to get us caught int the act. the store supervisor doesn't even relaly care.. he encourages us to try other food in the deli (ones we haven't tasted) so we have an idea of what we're selling to the customers.
side note; worked on the weekend (and every weekend from now on from 6-3) and john neil came in on saturday. my manager was panicing. lol

I should be looking in the award for this but cbf. I am pernament and my shifts are never the same as my roster, the service manager changes basically everyones. Its a pain in the arse that we're paid less than casuals yet still have random shifts, plus people are forever turning up to work when they're not really rostered on for that week. Is she allowed to do this?

not everything has to be said.
if its done a couple of times; than its allowed. but if she's constantly changing the contracted hours, for extended periods of time, it's not allowed ithink.
is there any particular reason why she's doing that? ask her if you're not sure.
you can work at woollies, earn just over the minimum wage, just dont talk about it, especially not on the net.
its not a badge of honour, its a more of a scar of shame, to be hidden and only expained once youve been busted by your peers
unless ofcourse youve got a better job like store manager of woollies, then you can be a little proud of your position, better pay. but in the end the store manager is also dumb due to the stress

I think that might be the case, but its not after one year. Not sure how long thoughshinji said:
And to Bainesy: may I ask where you work? Or perhaps I should be asking if you work at all?

There is absolutely nothing shameful about having a job. On the contrary, it is much more shameful is to rely on your parents for money rather then working to support yourself.Bainesy said:

i don't know what planet you live on where your friends, at this age, would judge you negatively for working at woolies. or any other retail job.Bainesy said:
go be a cumstain somewhere else.
is this by chance an offer???^CoSMic DoRiS^^ said:
i do economics. learning about D and S, ect, i can see just how lousy working at a fast food/department store is. i suppose a specality store is good, if you do what you love to do.
but who wants to stack shelves for pittance? and to think there is a price floor in the labour market worsens the situation

no one wants to, we do it because things like textbooks and rent and social life have to be paid for and the only jobs you can easily get without any training or experience are usually retail jobs.Bainesy said:

If you're PPT then you signed a roster saying that this is when you're shifts will be (eg monday 4-9, wednesday 4-9 and Saturday 10- 7 or whatever) then thats when you're shifts are....if the manager wants to change you around either he needs to get your approval everytime she wants you to work different shifts OR she needs to make you casual!
