Was looking at natcom the other day and was looking at all the stores sales and warringah malls is 2.2million!! i was like shit 4.5times higher than mine is that the busiest woolies in the country??
definitely the biggest store in area 81, not sure about the country though. From what ive heard about working there, its really high stress position just because of the amount of work you have to do. A lot of the current store managers in the area have served time there as either dept managers or 2ic's.

LOL! That's the best thing I've heard.

"Service 75 to Perishables"

And you just see all the male staff walking towards perishables :p

Oh I remember service 100 now. Thats the only other one we ever use, like I never understood service 80 for example.

I've never had to use service 100 and never want to, its only used in my store in a situation where the police would be called. Like ages ago when I was getting supervision training at night all these 15-16 year olds got in a huge fight in our store, so my boss screams "SERVICE 100 TO THE FRONT OF THE STORE!" into the microphone, then turns to me and says "THAT is when you use a service 100".

Interesting story, I know.

Does anybody elses store also use the 601, 602 etc for a phone call?
also how stupid to have a two meanings for service 50 (first aid and pickup)
if other stores use 601 602 etc then i think a service 30 should be a pickup

I would hate to work there!!! must be so fucking busy. So what store do you work at grobsh??

As for service codes we only use service 1,30,40,80 and 100 we use to have a service 100 every few days now we barely ever call one. But when one is called everyone comes up to the front to see whats going on lol noone really does anything except the SM and STM.

Also was wondering are they trying to get rid of the Store Services Manager because my store hasnt had one for 18months?? or is it just in the smaller stores??

We don't have one for change order or pick up. Or scanning policy. I don't even see the point :/

they are useful e.g. Change order the office cashier can call it in the morning or when they are in the office so that when they come down stairs(at our store the office cashier comes down for the middle of the say on the weekends) that way all change orders can get done

Pickup- when the final pickup for the day is due the office cashier can call it (makes things a lot easier)

and at our store we need manager approval for scanning policy i guess it makes it easier cause they know why were calling them.

I guess.

Thats weird you need to call your store manager for scanning policy, I guess it means he/she knows about it and will make sure its fixed up?'

No-one gives a crap about scanning policy in our store. I mean we follow it 100% but if one comes up we don't go ringing the department and whatever, just remove the tag.

Hmm, we don't have 'service calls' at our store. We just call what we want i.e

Manager to checkout 4; Produce has a call on 950 etc...

for the wool jumpers etc you have to see your ssm or someone in the office. They come from a seperate place.

im at frenchs forest, medium size store i guess. what about you?

i'd say they're not getting rid of SSM's, my guess you're in a tiny store that doesnt need one?
