I'm sure you did fineJust finished my first close....
God. Im exhausted and hopefully I did O.K. Im really scared that I fucked everything up - but what do they expect from someone who has NEVER done a close before!?
Anyways, some details of the evening: cash office closed 1hr early tonight (???) anyway, so my schedule was fucked up, and I was trying to get draws done etc but the pickups hadn't been counted, but she was doing other things and OMG!!!!Everytime I counted a register from 6-8, a pickup hadn't been counted, so the draw was out by heaps . very annoying.
Anyway, so many people signed off a little late. I think I am going to get raped for that, but I did try my best, and for me, who has never been back later at that store then 9:15, I think I did an alright job for a midnight close. *crosses fingers*
No, they can't push Credit anymore, only Chq/Sav, as if the customers push Credit Woolies has to wear the cost of the transaction (saving the banks money). Someone already explained this, but I cbf reading the last 8 pages of posts.i dont really get the change.. so its people who have a Visa/Mastercard Debit Card - but instead of pushing chq/sav they press credit and sign for it? pretty stupid move by woolworths
As a CSM though she should kind of expect it. Our CSM does 5 10-12 hour days a week AND we are a small store. I think Checkouts would be the worst department in the store to manage.My CSM got told that she had to work (its her short week), and she wasn't impressed. She'd done 10.30-9.30 Thursday, 6-5.30 yesterday, and now 7-5.30 today. When I came in yesterday, she was really apologetic for her bad mood, and even told me I'd done a really good job of running the floor (while she was on a main) on Thursday night . Almost died
HAHAHA your CSM is lazyyyy ours does like 5 days a week every week!! and everyone of them is like 9 hrs but she only gets paid for 8 no matter how many more she does.My CSM got told that she had to work (its her short week), and she wasn't impressed.

:O JESS!! i knew you could do a good job!! you really are amazingBy the way, I had so much fun in smokeshop yesterday, once I got over the shock of how expensive everything was. Its funny how everyone has an opinion on the government these days
awww! hope you feel better again soon love! drug your self up and resttttt!It was starting to feel a bit better yesterday, but OMG I am in pain this morning. Started up on the codeine already, I'll take some Voltaren once I eat something. This shit is LAME.
Also on Monday I am only allowed to do office work with ABSOLUTELY no standing, lol. Guess who will probably get stuck with breaking up the tickets or some such.
CoreComms we received (we're a NSW store in region 7) had a 5 carton limit, but pretty sure some supervisors refused more than one carton/customerWow you gave a 6 carton limit? We were more harsh with a 3 carton limit.

She must have pulled at least a 14 hour day on Thursday before Good Friday. She was there at 6 and still there at 8pm. I really feel for her though because she is salaried, so those extra hours are purely 'for love'
In addition to 8.30-7 on Tues and 8.30-6.30 Wed. They normally rotate between a 6/4 roster. So she's done 6/5 this fortnight. I agree that being a salaried manager it is to be expected though.HAHAHA your CSM is lazyyyy ours does like 5 days a week every week!! and everyone of them is like 9 hrs but she only gets paid for 8 no matter how many more she does.
Our LLM bought every single packet of Longbeach Blue left at close. She'd already bought her 6 cartons from three different stores on her way to work. (Someone had never been so grateful to a) be starting at 12.30, and b) have a Perishables manager that loves her enough to inform her of the price hikes)CoreComms we received (we're a NSW store in region 7) had a 5 carton limit, but pretty sure some supervisors refused more than one carton/customer
I was proud to have purchased the last carton of ANY Winfield variety lol
wow! 8 or 10 newbie?!? When I was hired there was 3 for checkouts and THAT was hard enough for the spvr. that trained us lol. I think our store needs to hire a few more but having said that, I like it the way it is now lol coz we fit in now but we still have the leeway to make mistakes coz we are still the newestIt was only a month or two ago that we got about 8-10 newbies, and we're already talking about needing more. Especially close on Thursdays, I'm offended that noone wants to do them with me
ok sorry for being repitive.Oh yeah I remember that question. Don't be absolutely ridiculous. At my old store with was probably a 60/40 gender ratio of service cashiers, in favour of females. Completely unremarkable and inconsequential.
It is an entry level job, its not as if you will be there for life.ok sorry for being repitive.
I just really need to find the "right" job that can suit me and I want to go into a lot of research first instead of just going into and not like what im doing.
Anyways thanks.
60/40?! omg.Oh yeah I remember that question. Don't be absolutely ridiculous. At my old store with was probably a 60/40 gender ratio of service cashiers, in favour of females. Completely unremarkable and inconsequential.
REALLY?60/40?! omg.
At my store we have 4-6 pages of rosters for front end, and there are 2 older men who work on checkouts (it's their second job, supporting either their families or to help sponsor their families coming from overseas) and one school aged guy who works weekends mostly. That's it for guys.
