me too, well 7 hours today and 6.5 hours monday.

WA folks are being paid 2.5 times on both Sat and Monday, regardless if you worked on both days.

I don't think so :( But I think that we should.

agreed, i was only sposed to be working til 2 but we had a stack of sickies/no shows so i had to stay. so didn't buy anything unless you count lunch :(

i ended up working all day today, stacks of no shows and sickies. not too bad.

Haha, my CSM said to me yesterday "honestly Jess, I could run this department with casuals, my full timers are pissing me off so much. At least when you annoy me I can send you back to nontrade." I didn't know whether to be offended or flattered. But yeah, we have the same problems as Harry...

I don't know if its 100% true or just some loser exaggerating, but surely thats pretty dodgy. They would have only had four front end staff on before 8 this morning... I'd like to think that its not true.

lol, I just heard that our SM apparently opened doors 15 minutes early this morning. He's getting his ass kicked by Centre Management.

a new phone, mine broke today :(

I actually had a pretty good day today. I was an extra, front end didn't even realise I was meant to be working, so yeah, I packed until our SM realised that I shouldn't be and pulled me off about an hour in, then supervised, smokeshop and stock. Awesome day, though sad too. One of our...

Since some of us have already started work (ie Wixxy), happy xmas eve folks. Night.

That was like us. After 6, our SSM, STM, and both supervisors did not leave the express lanes except to get smokeshop or bells. Nothing got done at all. Our SSM rang the CSM and was like, you're coming in two hours early tomorrow, coz we aren't staying past 10 (all of us were supposed to leave...

We got smashed again tonight, sales were 460k. Thats about 250 over forecast. So yeah, they gave me my shift back for tomorrow. 10.30-6.30.

Our CSM did our rosters, and she didn't give me many hours because she didn't know how my shoulder was going to be. But then a full time supervisor had a car accident, so I was going to be given her Wednesday and Thursday. However, on Saturday our SSM cut 90 hours from our budget...

If that was our smokeshop, that would be so awkward. Its bad enough having two people serving in there, let alone two people plus someone filling. If I had RSA I would have had bulk hours this week in liquor. I just never expected front end to cut down that badly.

haha hate to be you tomorrow. When you say rep, do you mean from the cigarette companies? Coz if so that would suck a lot, and they really wouldn't know where stuff goes anyway. I got given a shift for tomorrow, 10.30-6.30, but three hours later they decided they couldn't afford me. Shameee.

As I think Mat already said, Sundays are paid (for casuals) as 1.7 x the full time rate. Public Holidays are 2.7 times. In WA, both Saturday and Monday are public holidays, Sunday is paid at normal sunday rates. Its just like the easter holiday, sat and mon are public holidays, while the...

We were very well staffed until 6.30, then we struggled.

We're also getting an Area Manager visit tomorrow morning (even though they were in last Thursday and Sunday). Thats why I'm so pissed off about how the department had to be left tonight. But seriously, I shouldn't have to cover up the problem though. I jokingly said to our STM tonight, "so...

I had such a varied day, started off lousy, went pretty good in the middle, fucking shithouse by the end of the night. I'm too angry (and tired) to even post, so yeah, :(. Tuesdays are fucking bad luck. And I wasn't even meant to be in charge tonight, yet I dealt with it all. Anyone have a...
