Thats so stupid...why not have grocery as grocery, and dairy, milk etc as dairy.produce = fruit and veg
longlife = grocery
perishables = milk, cheese etc
front end = checkouts.

Because Perishables contains non-dairy lines; frozen fish, frozen vegetables, pasta and juice can hardly be considered "dairy". Grocery, while occasionally known as "longlife", is actually only one part of longlife; General Merchandise (eg. DVD's, other seasonal lines like manchester etc.) also falls under the technical definition of "longlife". Produce contains flowers as well as nuts and other things which aren't fruit nor vegetables. Frontend covers things other than just checkouts, for example trolleys, amongst others.Thats so stupid...why not have grocery as grocery, and dairy, milk etc as dairy.
I hate IGA because Coles has a large share of them. So independent yeah?I hate IGA because they support local communities.
Looking forward to it immenselyAnzac Day is going to be awesome, not opening til 1pm.
Hmm fair enough, but it will just make it confusing as fuck for new operators, grocery, dairy, fresh produce etc workers.Because Perishables contains non-dairy lines; frozen fish, frozen vegetables, pasta and juice can hardly be considered "dairy".

While the common-place, non-Woolworths definitions may seem to be more logical, when you get to know the departments and its intricacies, you'll realise why Woolworths uses the terms it does.
It gets even more confusing when you transfer stores because a lot of the older stores tend to keep tradition of using old dept names and newer ones name them the new ones.Hmm fair enough, but it will just make it confusing as fuck for new operators, grocery, dairy, fresh produce etc workers.
Ours are left to right $2 - 5c but the notes depend on what register u are on. $5 notes are closest to the customer. So on register 4 at my store its $5 - $50 but on register 5 it would be $50 - $5 (left to right)It gets even more confusing when you transfer stores because a lot of the older stores tend to keep tradition of using old dept names and newer ones name them the new ones.
Also out of interest how are your notes/coins arranged in your tills? Maybe I am a bit obsessive compulsive but I have to have my notes and coins arranged highest to lowest left to right. At my current store the coins are arranged left to right $2 to 5c, but the notes are arranged $5 to $50 instead of $50 to $5. Its just really annoying because in four stores I have worked in half are opposite. So whenever I use a till where I am at the moment it feels weird giving out change and sometimes I have to rearrange the notes just to make it feel right.
Just to confuse you even more, liquor are arranged 50 to 5.It gets even more confusing when you transfer stores because a lot of the older stores tend to keep tradition of using old dept names and newer ones name them the new ones.

It's a security thing. If a customer leans over to rob the till, the $50 are the furthest away.jirwin - that is whacked.
I very very much doubt it. I know that one of our nightfillers has asked about this before and been told flat out no. IIRC there is actually a part in the new agreement that says the company will not pay out unused leave entitlements until you leave.Got a question if anyone knows the answer. What's woolworths policy on doing payouts for unused holiday time? I've been working there for 2 years and have barely used any holiday time. I've got like 250 hours built up and probably won't ever be using it all. I'm thinking about asking my manager if i can just get paid out for it.
Will woolworths do a lump-sum payment for unused holiday time? or will they only do that when you leave and have unused time left over?
The longer you wait the higher the rate that you get paid out atfunny part is that i recently dropped down to part time to start uni (18 hrs a week).
If i went on holiday now, i'd still be on leave 13 weeks later. I'm never going to get rid of this holiday time by using it .
I suppose it doesn't matter that much. I'm not really planning on staying at woolies for too much longer anyway so i'll be getting paid out for it one way or another.
Of course. There was a point when I was doing Produce, Grocery and Checkouts, so it's definitely possible. Now whether your 'home department' manager is cool with it, is a different thing. But definitely bring it up with him/her, and also talk with the checkout manager.So, say you are working a specific job, say longlife, pershiables, produce or nightfill. Is there any chance you will still be able to use the registers. It looks fun and i wouldnt mind doing both and im good with monet and calculating...
Really? you should be getting regular payrises from the agreement. Probably not very noticable to a part timer, but for us, every 6 months we got an extra .40 an hour.That's assuming i get a pay raise before i leave. Since i've been on the same pay since i started 2 years ago, i doubt that somewhat.
I'm only a part timer now, i was full time & then some (6 x 9 hour shifts a week) for most of the 2 years.Probably not very noticable to a part timer, but for us, every 6 months we got an extra .40 an hour.
