I had a shift from 11-7 which was pretty much torture because I felt faintish due to my anemia and I was at registers so that was kind of hard. It was extremely shit at the start because not much workmates were at their registers beside me, so shit boring but from around 2 onwards it got pretty...

Re: Rules for Retail Workers I'll speak for myself thanks. What contributed to my impatience was the fact she was swearing and naming things that we should do, when we couldn't do any of them. No wonder all our employees hate most of the supervisors, power gets to their heads.

Re: Rules for Retail Workers I wasn't telling you off but telling you what I could/couldn't do at work because you were going off your head with how you hate when your staff doesn't do all the stuff mentioned in your post...and how I can't do all that stuff.

This was exactly like my first in-store shift. I was chucked on registers straight away to deal with customers, it was all so overwhelming. It would of helped had my supervisor who was supposed to been their had been on registers showing me what to do, then asking if I was okay with everything...

Mmm, wish I had applied for longlife but its all pretty physical I imagine, and I have a hard time just standing at the registers for longer then 2 hours so. If I wanted to change departments, could I ask? Eh..I'm pretty content with registers actually, its just the odd customer that does my...

I get paid that, yet I'm 16 :/ You should get a sheet with details of your pay on the manilla folder you get at induction with your ON/OFF job workbooks.

Re: Rules for Retail Workers Err, I'm kind of not allowed to leave my register. 1. I don't need to sweep the floor, because thats the cleaners job and there is no broom near me. 2. I don't have to fill up the confectionary because thats longlife/whoevers job and I'm not allowed to leave my...

Maybe you should dob on her? You have to be fucking kidding me. Does the idea of her scanning items slowly affect you THAT much..gees. She probably has her reasons for being slow, you don't just resort to 'dobbing' on her because she scans things slowly, just a tad childish? How about telling...

Re: Rules for Retail Workers 1. Just because your a senior member/worked there a long time doesn't mean you can rat on/try and get the new employees in shit. Have some fucking humility, don't you have anything better to do? 2. You've probably been working at your store for a while. The new...

Oh right, what a dope I am, ta.

Sweet. I have work tommorow so I'll just talk to them then, besides I don't know their number..thanks anywho.

What do you do in produce? I think us cashiers get the bad end of the deal, I always see those nightfill/longlife guys who restack the shelves (well they're mostly guys) either bumming around pretending to do work, chatting away to their co-workers or going outside every 10 minutes and doing...

Alright, so I've got my TFN in the mail today. I also got paid today being Wednesday and all and in the past few weeks I've been paid, I've been taxed 45.5% owing to to the fact I didn't have a TFN. So now that I do, who do I give my TFN to, do I need to write up another tax declaration form...

LOL..rightio

Not exactly, it depends how badly your store needs people at registers/whatever. I had my first shift last week, since then they've given me shifts everyday of the week, not to mention calling me up later and asking me to come in again. I got plain sick of it, so I just said no, which I really...

Err, I got paid 355 but taxed like 45% so I ended up with 183. Grr. Once I get my TFN, who do I give it to? Safeway or the bank? And will they backpay the money I was taxed back into my account during the next payday?

I just got my finger scan number today. Also took two weeks. Just sign in via the book, and keep nagging your manager/supervisor about it. Then resort to asking the cash office people to get one for you. :)

Re: Why is it so hard to find a fucking job? I've tried the reject shop..yeah I got an interview for that but then realised with the help of some people here that it would be damaging to my reputation and the pay is pretty shit. Then I tried Maccas which I got an interview for then got knocked...

Haha, I guess we're all on the same boat..holidays coming up, better check my roster. Arghh and you know how I had shifts this friday and saturday, they called me during school hours and asked if I could come in at 3 today..what the fuck, and to think when I started working I wouldn't get enough...

Thats a bit rude..I was pretty lousy when I had my first shift, but then the supervisor said I was really improving once I got the hand of doing transactions and stuff.. she may have had her reasons for it.
