I believe it's in "items per minute" and it's adjusted for when you are taking payment for items etc. That said, I've never once been told what my scan rate is so I guess it's not bad enough for them to worry. I do know that the target is different for each store, based on the store's traffic...

Uniball Jetstream 0.5's are fantastic pens

Well, I guess a DM doesn't really serve on a register all that much. Probably just the occasional smokes/refund.

Well, we don't actually have someone rostered to do "smokeshop". We just have register 14 signed on as a supervisor and whoever's free at the service desk - so supervisor, CSM, 2IC, reg.9 and express people - will do smokes. Well, I assume it's Coles policy because there's no-one at my store...

Not when you're stuck behind some cow who keeps changing her mind about what cigarettes she wants. I wish it wasn't Coles policy to only have >18s smoke certified. Then I'd be able to work on Express more often.

You just have to be really skilled at ignoring people and giving judgemental looks from across the store.

We have Black baskets, and so do Woolworths.

But you get to watch informative videos like "Which Cleaning Product Do You Use Here?" and "How to Use a Fire Exinguisher"

actually, you're right. Mum told me to get the "Vegemite on special", and all I could see was the iSnack for $4.59, turns out there was regular vegemite near it, and that's what she wanted. On a Woolworths-related note, I swear someone is sneaking Woolworths baskets into Coles and positioning...

I don't even know why I read this thread, I don't even work at Woolworths let alone go in there (except for today to buy a jar of vegemite)

It wouldn't surprise me, I think they have about 11 regular, 8 express (although there are two that are rarely used which are right next to the service desk) Coles Devonport is one of the higher (if not highest) stores, I guess it's because both stores cover a wide area. Although I don't...

Wow. That's one big store. My coles is just 9 regular, 4 express and one at the front for smokes, refunds, etc

No, but I've heard rumors that there's going to be a new uniform? Are you able to take some pictures for me, I'd like to see what it's like. Knowing Coles, they'll roll it out and then decide that they want to change it again. They better not make us pay for new stuff.

I can't believe they've put the Christmas stuff out already. I wonder if we're getting a Christmas shirt again this year?

Devonport had its insides done out about 5 months ago (actually, It might have been a whole before that, can't remember), the outside signs were replaced maybe two months ago. We (Coles) also had changes to our signage, ours extended to removing the orb. They didn't even bother to repaint the...

The extent of my knowledge of the box crusher is that you throw boxes into the top of it, and that I find the sign that says "Make sure to only used approved twine" funny

I prefer the Spice Girls impersonation :P

So if you guys use your quantity buttons, the hours allocated to frontend get reduced? I don't mean to be rude, and I do work at the opposition, but that is the biggest load of bull ever. The quantity button is there for people who buy 20 cans of little cat food. Surely it's going to be more...

You need a password to do price override, let alone quantity entry? LOL>

What is your name, out of interest?
