As an ex longlife manager told me, I quote "When they come in and do our job in the time allocated, will be...

    woo at work since there was one supervisor on, he went to lunch and told me to supervise - in a way. it was pretty awesome, but hectic.

    last time we ran out of bags we started giving out green bags. Anyway, i'm not sure if this is for the area, or the store or what. It is quite annoying to say the least. I'll go look around tomorrow maybe. Could be from someone in store trying to increase average scan rate, thus, increase...

    fortunately the woolies EFT machines function modes are locked. You can get in with the password, I think it's <taken out>, but it immediately purges you so you can't do anything. The only way to do it is by swiping the card I'm pretty sure (or EFT manual etc. etc.)
