I was actually talking with a customer about this today, she laughed and said "Yeah, that'll never happen." I said "I dunno, it was on the news the other day about the court victory, and that'd they'd have to do it pretty soon." She scoffed at me and said "Yea, you don't know what you're...

Ah I see. You lucky duck. So is Grade 4 the same as what the waged 2ic would get?

Ha, I'll take that as a yes.

Did I kill the conversation? I get the impression I always seem to do that...

I have no idea what grade I get when I supervise, I just know that it's $19.86 per hour. So, for new supervisors, does this mean that they will only be getting paid the same amount as if they are an operator?

The old phone system didn't plug into the PA amp, at least not in my store. It was also delivered through the same computer as the music. I could tell, because if someone was talking on the #6 PA, then if someone started talking on one of the silver mics, it would drown them out. This is what...

I would say that you are right in that assumption iMathew, based on my two years of legal studies experience (most boring subject in the world, urgh) :P though, the word "appointed" is unclear, whether it means they are rostered as a supervisor, or if they are given the role after this new...

Yeah, I was thinking that, but I might still give it ago... just to say I have :D Shouldn't be as stressful at our store anyway, being so small.

That's ooolllldd as... well the fact we have insurance. I did go to work this morning and there was Woolworths Insurance screensavers on the checkouts. Woo. EDIT: No it's not old news sorry, I didn't realize they've changed it to car & travel. Might look into that... Had a completely shitfaced...

Did the close call the other night! Asked SM if I could, and he's said yea, so sweet! Will be handy on Saturdays :) And our store has always been 10 minute breaks... then everyone realized like a year ago about getting an extra 4 minutes for walking time (going to locker, buying shit, etc) and...

Is it true that it is company policy that we cannot do close calls now? There's a huge debate the other night when the new Nightfill Captain said that they always did it at his old store, but we've all been told it's "Company Policy" that no store is allowed to do it. We've never ever done...

STARTING?! Far out, they've been going on for our store since the end of financial year cuts... and our store's sales have even returned to normal!

So happy. Got my hours back. And +1 to that big TV's thing. Remember back last year when we were selling those massive hundred dollar coolers that took up pretty much the entire width and length of the belt? Yeah, love'd it when the guy put that up on the checkout for me to scan. I'm just glad...

This cost cutting is ridiculous. I can't wait until Masters can actually support itself so that the supermarket profits can actually be spent on the supermarkets.

I never do the whole reboot through the start menu, I just press the button on the machine under the cash drawer, then turn it back on. Ha. Those new phone and register upgrades look awesome, but I don't completely understand that one about "supervisor privilege receipt"? Will that like print...

So whats been happening lately everyone? I got in trouble for asking a customer if they would like a receipt the other day. Highlight of my life.

How come you lot still get such awesome music? Is that just dependant on which state? I know someone at a store in Brisbane who reckons that they're still on the uber-ancient one from the start of last year... is there a manual way to change the radio station in the Communication Room, or does...

The most recent music I've noticed is Carly Ray Jepson's Call Me Maybe and Payphone by Maroon 5. AND I STILL HEARD THAT GODDAMN "WATERMELON MAN" by the Gun Club the other day. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DELETED IMMEDIATELY LAST YEAR.

I don't mind being on big registers, I just hate being on them for an extended period of time (for say, 5 hours straight). But I would much rather be on express. I know there isn't much room, but I don't mind. I've no trouble counting express, it's smokeshop that I hate counting. Those tills are...

Few things from me tonight. 1. Was reading that whole FRESH FAIR magazine in the tea room tonight, and it made my blood boil when I read "The relaunch is based around the 'four F's' ... supporting our farmers". So why the hell is the media still going on about this 10% decrease for Woolworths...
