Happy birthday!!! 10-5 today...not looking forward to it. Dang, shoulda said no. :(

Don't give me a lecture on how plastic bags go into the sea and spoil the environment. I know that. I work in a supermarket, not at some climate change council. If you don't want the plastic bag for your meat, just tell me so and save the lecture. I generally put meat into plastic bags because...

I will only be back in Feb 2011 because that's when my postgraduate studies will commence (if I get in ;)) that's why they can't let me stay. I'm currently a casual now.

Hah so apparently, WA and the eastern states seem to have different policies regarding leave. I've just been told I have to resign and reapply at my store again when I get back next Feb. SIGH. My sup was quite naturally unhappy about it because she didn't want to lose me and she told HR that but...

Yea, quantity is only allowed with supervisors. Well, I've gotten idiots with like 37 cans of cat food (the small ones) in express before. I don't know whether to turn them away or not but generally, if it's more than 15 and they still insist on coming through (they tend to be very pissy about...

We're told only to leave four 50s in our drawer during pickups. Some lady came in and wanted $1500 in cashout the other day...I almost died. I straight out told her that I didn't have that much. They should have a minimum amount! Last time, it was $400 which I feel is reasonable. Not many of us...

Ooooooooooooo now that should be the way! ;) It used to be that we'd have a break for a four hour shift. Somehow that shifted to 4.5hrs and yay, now it's back! :)

What notice? In our store, I think you have to get only 8/10 to pass. I've failed it before ehee! Damn stupid beans! Runner, kentucky etc. GRRR. Apples I'm fine. My shift is only five hours though. Five hours is good...it means I have a break. I hate four hour shifts. ;)

How could you fail the produce test Jess? You're a supervisor! Hehehe! :p Exams over next week. Back to work Friday. Wonder what changes I'll see. I'll bet there'll be heaps of training for me. Haven't been working since mid-April. :P

I'm casual. I'm generally a good worker. They have not had complaints for me. I never turn up for my shifts late and my appraisals have had good-excellent comments. When I can rock up to extra shifts I will...if I say I'm available. Thing is, they were calling me in a couple weeks ago (I said I...

The only time I called in sick, I got a doctor's certificate but my supervisor told me I didn't need to hand it in however during our induction, we were told we had to. I guess if your supervisor says you don't have to, you don't need to? I've got a question for the pros in this thread. I am...

Because they think they can't be outside, they might as well do something ie, grocery shopping. :)

Wow, I've never had that but I had this woman once who wanted to pay for a highlighter or pen which cost like a couple of bucks with a $50 note. My till was almost totally out of change because two people before that each took about like $250-$300 each. :S So I told her I couldn't put her...

Go to the store you want to work in and ask if they have openings.

In WA, you get 15mins paid tea break for 5hours. For 8 and 9 hour shifts, you get an hour lunch break plus two tea breaks (15mins each).

Tell him that he's technically not allowed to see your vote. :)

There's no such word as payed. :) Paid is the past tense of pay.

My last shift was about two weeks ago and we were about 367+ LTI lol. :) At first I didn't believe it but owell! :)

I think for savings cards, the limit is $1000. For credit, there's probably a limit as well but it's higher. I thought any transaction over $1000 needs supervisor approval to go ahead? I did that once and the screen flashed up that I needed supervisor approval lol. And $18k on ciggys, that...
