It's a pain to scan

I know. But when it is super busy and everyone is asking for you. It's a pain

I wouldn't say everyone. I still see a lot of people make sure they put everything down as the weight thing seems to vary from store to store.

Probably because Coles (at least the ones in my area) have weight limits on the self serve machines.

So happy. Got my hours back.

And +1 to that big TV's thing. Remember back last year when we were selling those massive hundred dollar coolers that took up pretty much the entire width and length of the belt? Yeah, love'd it when the guy put that up on the checkout for me to scan. I'm just glad he was thinking straight when he did it.

New Autostocker routine has arrived, been told the capping will be removed in all stores and detailing will be gone, will this just be a way to cut down on day staff in longlife? Been told the boards will be removed in 2 weeks. Any other stores have massive problems with rf guns, we have 6 for a store of 1.6M considering we are suppost to have 15!

Yeah, massive cost cutting is starting, though nightfill is more affected. They're going to get the load numbers right so they more or less only have enough for what is sold. I've also heard that that head office has instructed 300 hours across the board to be cut from all stores.

[iMathew]

Fucking ridiculous is a light term to say the least.
Had a customer being very rude to me/my staff today. A female customer stepped in and punched him in the face on our behalf lol.

STARTING?! Far out, they've been going on for our store since the end of financial year cuts... and our store's sales have even returned to normal!

[townie]

Wow, doesn't sound good, wasn't woolworths supposed to be re-launching with this fresh new approach to customer service?

[quick90]

I think we have about 15. We finally got new batteries for them last week

Well at least starting to gain momentum. Likewise in our store it's been going on since the end of last financial year, but they were fairly minor until now. Definitely voting no for the new EBA.

[BSammy]

curious, why voting no?

[quick90]

DMs taking annual leave to cut down wages...

[iMathew]

Might be getting promoted to duty management
Still early in the pipelines at the moment though

I enjoy duty manager shifts however i would be cautious to what roster they put you on. if they wanted you to work every friday and saturday night for example keep in mind that its incredibly hard to get a duty manager shift off if you couldn't work. it could quickly ruin your social life.

Considering inflation a 3% pay rise is barely anything in real terms. It is also decreased from previous EBA's which were 3.5% and 4% respectively I believe. I've always wondered why people called the SDA a useless union and now I know why. Then you have their affiliations to Catholic Labor Right but that's another issue...

I hate unions. They are hopeless. I am very Liberal and will forever be against unions.

Espeically the SDA. Biggest blood sucking creature ever.

[quick90]

Was told yesterday that the pay rise was partly accountable for the wage cuts?

[hahahayley]

Smile and nod.

[loapowm]

hi i wanted to know what to say to people when they complain about everyday rewards taking information, im asking this because i told them they only take information to make your sopping experience better and to give you specialize specials, but all they did was accursed me of lying and trying to cover up that they use their personal information to scam them a sell their personal information. I didn't know what to say because i couldn't agree with what they said other wise i probly would of lost my job. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you say.

Say.

"All personal information in everyday rewards is kept secure and only dealt with marketing more products""

Just say woolworths keeps it safe. We do

[iMathew]

Just say ok and walk away, or don't say anything, let them have their little know-it-all rant, then walk away.

Hate it when they do the know it all rant. Always with the trades practices act

[Harry778]

Good ol' woolies

[nanakid12]

Is it true that it is company policy that we cannot do close calls now? There's a huge debate the other night when the new Nightfill Captain said that they always did it at his old store, but we've all been told it's "Company Policy" that no store is allowed to do it. We've never ever done one... and I have no idea why

Good ol' woolies

So much has changed
