do they normally charge you when they change the uniform?
They usually ask you for the $12 or so it costs for a shirt, but by law (i think its a federal govt. thing for any job not just in the award) they cant force u to buy a shirt with their special branding or logo on it that is required to be worn at work. if u refuse to buy it they will give u one for free anyway, just wear a white shirt in the meantime.do they normally charge you when they change the uniform?
I hope they start rolling them out soon. Polo shirts would be good for summer.Started wearing the Brown Polo shirts this week where I work. Everyone will be given a certain amount of shirts for free to replace the blue / white ones. I think it is two for casuals, three for part times and four for full timers.
I think it's something to do with the back-up battery.Has anyone's register started to randomly beep, it happened to me today(2nd time). No one in the store knows what the cause is and almost all the registers have done it and some stage. What we had to do was restart the register and it then stop. Anyone know what it means?
They are made from quite a thick material but they weren't too bad to wear in the heat on the way to work. I'm more concerned about winter next year since we won't be able to wear long sleeve shirts.I hope they start rolling them out soon. Polo shirts would be good for summer.
How old are your scanners ? It was a common problem with the scanners at my work till they were replaced.

The Coles staff in my centre are either wearing long sleeved black tees underneath, or Woolen jumpers over the top.They are made from quite a thick material but they weren't too bad to wear in the heat on the way to work.

As far as I know they are the same ones when the store opening up bout 2 years ago, so relatively new I guess.How old are your scanners ? It was a common problem with the scanners at my work till they were replaced. I don't know the cause.
Yeah the registers at my store always beep randomly, pretty funny since it beeps when no ones even thereHas anyone's register started to randomly beep, it happened to me today(2nd time).

Yeah, I had to do that on saturday, except for me it was 4 hours and not only french sticks but freshly baked cookies (M & Ms, double choc, choc chip and anzac) and also the mudcakeWhose store is doing "brand ambassador"? I had to spend 2 hours today asking people if they'd like to try my french stick (and no, that's not a euphemism)
Well, I was just doing it because they needed the girl who was doing it to sell cigarettes. She had a full 5 hour shift of it, and there's another guy who does 2x3hr shifts and one girl who does it for a few hours a week as well.Yeah, I had to do that on saturday, except for me it was 4 hours and not only french sticks but freshly baked cookies (M & Ms, double choc, choc chip and anzac) and also the mudcake
lol yeah, mine was only buttering no hamThe bread sticks were annoying because you'd have to keep buttering more and putting ham on them (only $7.99/kg in the Deli department )

I usually get paid on the Tuesday night like bdude mentioned, but sometimes a few days later - particularly if the Monday has been a public holiday.I'm working in the Deli. Have our own manager in there and such though I haven't been told about payslips.
We were told we were getting paid for the in-store induction, and I've been told I have to do the online one once I get my employer number, which I haven't yet. I've been told it takes about 6 hours.
So should I have been paid for the Sunday and Tuesday, or would I get paid next Wednesday for the lot?
