I would try applying sometime in October or November, because they usually hire extra staff for Christmas around that time, and then they stop doing the company inductions (training days) during December and January. As far as I know, it doesn't take that long, but then again, I work in a...

Can't say I do... where have you seen them?

Urgh, yes! I don't get why people need a receipt for a bunch of bananas. Then there's the people who need receipts for their cigarettes, and then the others who frequent the joke, "Nah, maaaaate, can't claim 'em on tax" or "So long as you don't chase me outta here with 'em, saying that I stole...

Also, am I the only one who gets customers this dramatic? (this isn't me BTW) http://notalwaysright.com/be-discrete-on-the-receipt/21117

I know exactly how you feel. I like some of my operators, but I'm so sick of the current management. I mean, they're nice to my face, and I'm nice to them, and we're all happy chappys in each others companies, but I just think they aren't being fair... like, for example, why does the other night...

Yeah, I thought rosters would be quite stressful. We still use People Planner (holy ancient shit), but I've never used it apart from writing up the Priority 1 sheet (Express Alert staff), and even then I still use my CSM's login. I've decided I won't ask about being CSM for two weeks... though...

So! My CSM is leaving in a few weeks, so sad :( Anyway, I was thinking of asking if I could try being in that role for a week or two, just to see what it's like. 2ic did say a while back that she would like to show me how to do rosters. Thing is though, I'm 17 at the moment, though I will be 18...

Haha nice :P is that a real or fake beard (im terrible at guessing :D)

Haha I've heard we'll dress up for Friday the 13th? That's it though... I'm just looking like a freak being the only one in the shop wearing those white fresh fair shirts. "Snags to fork or not to fork"??? That hardly even makes sense. Yea I know... it was my idea of an incomplete joke with...

Sweet as haha. Random moment when this massive dog (as in the animal, not the type of customer) came into our store for like 10 minutes and I can't get it out. I was tempted for it to stay, would have provided good company if it didn't head straight to the meat department lol

Awww gawd. Well... have fun with that. Think of it as a new experience, a challenge, a learning curve. Afterwards, you'll be able to courageously complete any shift when self serve are broken. Does that sound like something you would read on one of those dumb motivational posters? :)

I was asked to dress up as an asparagus tomorrow, and they'd put a photo of it on twitter for that movie ticket comp on all yours. Rofl, screw that.

Eh, no one will do it if its me asking. I'll probably just end up working... And I'm not going to call in sick. I'd rather be honest about it. I just read over what I've written up there, and realize how much of a whiny staff member I sound like.

I have a question about taking time off. I'm contracted to Fridays and Saturdays next week, so technically I am required to work. However, my family wants to head off for the weekend to śēē our cousins. I asked my CSM to have it off, she's like "ergghhhh, maybe, no promises." I bet though, if...

I agree, Coles is definitely following us. What with that whole "if you have to wait in line behind 2 customers, we'll give you $5 off!" All they did was take our idea and allow the customer to have money off. Same with us having to walk the customer to the product. Funny though, we had the...

Well the relaunch was very anti climatic. Our store looked exactly the same with a couple of new posters. I was hoping something bigger would actually be changed...

By the way, did any of your stores put up covers on the window? I went in shopping tonight and they said they weren't doing it. Excited for tomorrow! :D

I dunno :3 I would say so, but I don't see how...

Umm... well our store is usually open until 9pm and we're closing early at 8pm.

I supervised this fine evening and heard the new song on the store radio! (followed by that dreaded world no tobacco day message, recorded by Satan himself) So gutted I don't get to work tomorrow night and help to scrub up the place :(Do get to work Wednesday though! So pumped :) I'll take a...
