Sometimes I go to shop in our competition store in my uniform. But after I've worked a 10 hour shift and I need something before I go home, fucked if I'm going to drive all the way home to change and back just to get what I need.

Well Wixxy, this is what I mas making reference to. Police turned up at work and a pile of people had to sit downstairs for a few hours while the police and woolies went about their thing. As its a police investigation, I won't talk about specifics apart from saying that it seems this situation occurs every year between us and Coles. Things like this will ALWAYS catch up, paperwork trails are everywhere.

Niiice! >_<

And lastly (sorry) I looked through the draft quickly and noticed this:

"An employee who works more than five ordinary hours on any day shall receive an unpaid meal break of between 45 and 60 minutes duration. A 30 minute meal break may be taken by mutual agreement." Currently for 6 hour shifts I get a 30min break, does that mean now it;s 45-60?

If the agreement is passed, and you'd prefer to take the 30 minute break, it's easy enough to sort out with your manager Also you'd only be given a time to attend if you're a current union member! Might want to find out if you are or not.

oh and i forgot the huntsman perched on top of the service desk bin that promptly became alive upon being prodded and we all shrieked loudly and ran away and then got the new boy to take it out to the bin even though he hates spiders hehehe. oh and i have to come up with $430 for my visa application.

Migrating to the mainland???

i was like WOAH at the mounds of tomatoes, lol.

Ahaha. Tbh our produce is overfilled in general. That said, by end of trade the fair majority of it sells

 

[lordtopcat]

Yanno speaking of Tomatoes, it amazes me how many people still think they are a Vegetable. When my dept. manager was away last year I reorganized the drill downs and moved Tomatoes over to Fruit, and I got like heaps of C/o ops asking "Ummm where are the tomatoes?!?"...Well as they are a fruit, under Fruit lol

In the end it was just easier to move them back.

 

[Craven]

I call them vegetables because people don't use them like fruits.. I don't see many people just biting into tomatoes.

It upsets me that I have to go into vegetables to put them in on the c/outs >: (

ALSO

Does anyone here know know how to change the screen on the RF guns from Black/white to white/black?

All of ours here have been changed to Black background with white text, but when working outside in the store room this is SO hard to see, especially in the sun, so I want to change it back to white background black text. Is this possible without any special passwords etc?

From memory if you press the blue function key it's one of the faint blue icons behind the letter keys etc.

I'd say the black background would make the RF unit's battery last less time... more pixels in use!

Hey, u know how some fruit and veges have stickers on them (like apples have stickers with a code on them saying Royal Gala or something), do u know if they are the same codes as the coles ones? just curious

 

[wixxy2348]

Thats why I learnt the PLU codes... 5945 and 4664 hehe.

Not much point for me when I'm so rarely on checkouts!

Yep they are. Went to a Franklin's the other week and we had bought an iceberg lettuce. They had to flick through a laminated book to get the code... she was like 'ah 4061' and I was thinking 'I could've told you that!'

That being said, not everything might be the same. I.e. I've never used 5945 for a tomato - if they are regular field grown tomatoes then we have a 'shortcut' which is 2. 4664 is for the other tomatoes with the vine still attached and 4087 is for roma tomatoes (correct me if I am wrong please!)

Our codes for onions and capsicum change periodically and it's really annoying. Just learn the new one and they change it back again.

 

[babikakez]

man oh man why would you people want to memorise plu codes? Does it seriously offend people that tomatoes are in the veg menu?

the only time i try (to memorise plu's) is when the screens majorly lag, and even then i fail miserably. I think I got bananas downpat a few weeks ago when I was on the slowest main ever.

ETA: I have forgotten since.

eh
its not like i try to remember them
its just when u put through heaps of the same veggies/fruit, it just sticks.

I never EVER use them though, so it won't stick
Though I can sell you a 29 Vodafone Cap with my eyes closed.

u know the code for that shit?!

 

[babikakez]

item lookup -> prepaid mobile -> vodafone -> 29. No code needed.

Its instinctive. My voids are often massive purely because whenever anyone wants ANY prepaid I instantly choose that one.

Whenever the screen changes around it fucks with my head for weeks.
