Phew, just finished a 30 minute phone interview with head office for a position there. Out of 36 applicants I was shortlisted to 5.
*FINGERS, TOES AND EYES CROSSED*
Checkouts is probably the hardest department! Standing on your feet all day, only going on breaks when your super tells you.
Go Produce -> Once the load is done just sit in the staff room. That's where I spend 3/4 of my day. I also spend a lot of time in my SM's office just watching people on...
I've never worked with Back Office as ISIS has been in NZ for 3 years, but from my understanding it completely replaces Back Office.
Multibuy tickets could be easier. This is the process:
Log in
Label Print

Search for Offer Number
Select which Multibuy tickets you want to print...
You need to provide a Doctor's Certificate if you need 3 or more days off. Anything under and no you don't need to.
Your Supervisor only supervises you when you are working and has nothing to do with your leave or rosters. You need to talk to your Checkout Manager or 2IC.
However if you do...
Blergh going to work tonight, 10pm - 6am. We need to give our Multi Deck a deep clean, so we (as in me and my manager) will be removing all product to the chiller, removing all shelving, all bottom trays, all of the back of the chiller to clean every nook and cranny. Plus there are about 8 light...
This might come across as mean and no offence is intended but......no one is irreplaceable. I know first hand what it is like to be under appreciated, and I guarantee almost everyone on here can relate to that.
We had a Liquor manager leave recently who had been working there for 11 years and...
Going into winter which is the quieter period there will be very few spare shifts going, because most of the departments have to cut back which means the existing staff members will be looking to take all the available shifts they can.
Man I just went in to do some shopping and man am I going to have a great Sunday tomorrow....Went out the back and all I've got is two stacks of stock...THAT'S IT! (Plus Bananas)
My manager WELL under ordered.
Unfortunately, in this business it's not what you know it's who you know. So guaranteed 327% if there is someone there who is 'friends' with the CSM but even though you are the more experienced, they will get the position over you.
Same example has happened to me. I was one of the 5 people who...
Had my first 'emergency' situation today. A 2 year old boy pulled a glass bottle of soft drink off of the shelf, it hit the ground, exploded and shards of glass when flying into his face and cutting it quite severly. I heard it in the Store room, and grabbed the Spill kit thinking it was just a...
A Produce Manager from our Area was fired because he tried an apple without the Store Manager's approval. (Well he claimed he was testing it, but when you eat the entire thing, it's not 'testing')
Actually, this sounds like me too :P Whenever there are queues I avoid eye contact with Supervisors, because they know I'm trained and they might ask me to get on and customers, because they give you the "Are you going to open a checkout?" look. Quite often they ask me and I get great pleasure...
