I think that general consensus is - GET A NEW JOB!!!

Pants: I got mine from target and crossroads. But most stores sell black pants. Big W, Kmart, Supre, jeans west, etc, these are just a few stores that i can think of off the top of my head. Shoes: This is where comfort becomes important. I always wore my uber-comfy Roc school shoes (bought...

QFT Yay, got supervisor numbers back today. But they'll be gone by Tuesday when CSM comes back from his week away. Oh well. Was really busy today. Its a long weekend in WA, and of course we're open for the whole thing. I was 8-5.30 today, and then 10-6.30 on both sun and mon. We had...

I actually meant shares, eg for the stock market. But I think that most people knew what I meant

Pay doesn't go up, except for any increases due to birthdays, six-monthy union increases etc. You don't get stocks either.

Yep. They do. Its exactly as you imagine it.

I work at Woolworths, if your wondering. I know that other people bitch about Woolworths, Big W, Coles etc, but you've just got to find a way to make it work for you. A lot of my workmates get treated like crap, a girl I work with and go to school with (in Year 12) has set her availability at...

I counted four other students and one teacher in the library last week during one of my frees. It was awesome, hope it stays that way.

Yeh, my 2.5 hour shift was wednesday 4-6.30, works on that loophole mentioned. My store closes at 6 on weekdays (except Thurs). Also, we were never able to order $20 notes in change orders, were you? But otherwise I don't have a problem with the new change order system, except that I didn't...

I'm really happy with the way that my frees have worked out. The people who I'm most likely to talk to and be distracted by all have classes then. I have two free periods on a thursday, which is so beneficial because I work thursday nights. Yesterday, for example, I got every single piece of...

You're comments from earlier in the week were the only thing I thought of when I saw next weeks rosters. I had 5.5 hrs, 2.5 of which I actually can't work. Thanks for the warning, was really appreciated lol.

No matter how light my friday is, or how much work needs to be done, I find it difficult to work on Fridays. So I'm trying just to knock down anything that seems easy, quick, whatever, just so that my load for the rest of the weekend is considerably lower. Also I'm hoping that it might get me...

I've done/will be doing a similar thing this year. I used to work about 14 hours a week over 3 days, and found that in Year 11 this pushed me so hard. Therefore, I've told my supervisors that I'll do all day Saturdays (we're not open on Sunday - otherwise I'd do Sundays), and that...

A similar thing occurs at my store. Our express lanes are in the "next please" format (i don't really know how to explain any other way), so that the person in smokeshop can also serve on an express lane when required. The designated smokeshop operator is required to serve on express UNLESS...

OK, so there are people (on checkouts) in my store atm getting 2.5 hrs a week with FULL AVAILABILITY (these are 17 year olds so its not as though they're costing heaps out of the budget), we have four people (including csm) working from 5pm on weekdays (except thurs nites), if anyone can see if...

I love the fact that my school has lockers, the only time that we lose them is during exam weeks. (those weeks are horrible as no one is allowed to use a locker, except before 8.45 am.) We're not allowed to take bags to class either, and people who do have had their bags confiscated...

Perhaps take your birth certificate/passport etc for id. Also make sure you have your resume. They'll probably ask you about school, extracurricular activities, etc. I presume that this is for a casual/pt position. If so, it won't be too intense. At least it shouldn't be.

PreSwipe is the worst thing ever invented. On Saturday a customer was really pissed off, firstly about the wait and then because I kept on telling him that he was swiping his card the wrong way. So he ripped the preswipe flier off the top of the eftpos machine. It was great, because for the...

Quoted for truth. Roga: That sounds like an excellent plan, just make sure that you stick to your guns about your availabilities. Otherwise they will exploit you.

From what you've told me though, your store has so much trouble in attracting and retaining staff that they don't really have many options. Correct me if I'm wrong, but other stores would probably be able to be more choosy regarding the age of their supervisors. Although, in saying that, our...
