They usually start recruiting xmas casuals around midyear.... like late june/july/early august or something.. I remember people telling me HEAAAPS early to join..

Ah I found it in the thread under "Foundation"

Didnt someone [in another thread] say that napoleon's founder just buys the cheapest of the cheap junk, rebrand, then sell at a jacked up price?

Like milocole said, in response to how much work you get, it depends on the store. My store is understaffed.. or rather, everyone calls in sick/unavailable.. and seniors and supervisors [me] are in high demand so I work 3-6 days a week.. ranging from 15-30hrs a week.. I'm also a casual as I...

lol I reckon.. why are there all these questions on how to start work.. I don't work for Woolies [but Coles], but on the induction day, I had all the forms handed out to me and then the employer was like.. We'll do this form now, then this.. and if you have any questions on how to fill them out...

Rule: Don't expect a refund when you don't deserve one. Yesterday, I had this grumpy customer dump a slab of meat in my face and say, "This meat is off! I want a full refund and the receipt is in the bag". A bit taken aback I looked at the receipt. Date: 22nd August I looked at the meat. Best...

*Shudders* There's this chick at my workplace [Coles] who does Engineering at UWS. She can't count for shit. I don't know how that works. My manager said, "I'm not walking on any bridges she builds!"

Mix them together and make your own colour? =p

Same with lemon/citrus schnapps. I bought a bottle for $50. It's still sitting there, only had two shots of the ugly stuff. Perhaps I'll try diluting with something to get that bitter lemon peel flavour out. I liked peppermint schnapps. But for those who don't like mint it might feel like...

Me too. I don't like green bags when: 1. The customer just buys it. You have to find scissors to cut them open. Or get red marks on your fingers from tearing the seal apart. 2. They don't sit well on the plastic bag rack. 3. They're pretty high so when you pack on the counter you gotta peer...

That's really lame. I understand what you meant by making customers buy more.. But what happened to the good ol' $x EACH. Oh well. Coles works differently. If it says "Two for $x", it means you have to buy in multiples of 2 for the discount. I think it's only logical to think that way. Also a...

Gah. I tried to cancel the SDA thing. When I first joined, the office lady said I could cancel anytime. Write her a note on a piece of toilet paper and leave it on her office table. Time came when I really did not want to pay $7/wk for something I feel I have no connection to, so I wrote her a...

The brick wall. Which I've tried to smash my head on several times. But seriously, "hardest thing"? Most difficult perhaps? It doesn't hurt to get the ball rolling by providing an example in your opening post.

Not to mention Cotton On pays like crap.

Some people are really thick. I was packing smokes and watching a staff serve this customer.. the girl scans this bottle of cordial and it came up as $3.xx. And the customer said *in a very sure tone* "It says two for $5! So they're $2.50 each!!" And I turned around and told her.. "You need to...

Re: coleSSS!!!! If it's your local Coles, just rock up and speak to them face to face.

rofl I reckon! And also I have a problem when customers like to hold onto their items instead of placing it onto the belt. Because most of the time, the next person's stuff gets to me first.. and then the current customer is like "NO WAIT", then places their items on my scanner.. and because...

You're....... 16? 17? Office Cashier.. isnt that what townie does?

Rule: When you are piling stuff from your basket onto the conveyor belt, please do not build the Leaning Tower of Pisa on my belt. It gets annoying when the belt moves and everything crashes down on my hand.. or when you've placed cold items at the top and the bottom.. it generally just makes...
