    How much do you have in bank?

    Ahhhhh okay - I was racking my brain trying to think of what CMS was. We don't have CMS here our alarms are just monitored by Alarm New Zealand.

    Don't mean to be blonde (even though I ain't blonde) but what does CMS stand for? Is it some sort of head/area office support function?

    NC8000 or someone else at Norwest - Do you know if we can access EBI from any computer or do I need to dial in to my PC at work to access it? I have tried the URL but it just comes up page cannot be displayed so I have a feeling it only works server side.

    Man everyone in NZ won't stop complaining about our Vege prices. Apparently a handful of our growers complained to a Green Party MP saying they are being paid peanuts, and we are supposedly putting up our produce by as much as 500%. I just wanna tell them that is totally incorrect but I'd get...

    Over here you only have to provide one if you are sick for 3 or more days. They can request one earlier than that but the company must pay for the Doctor's visit.

    My first day at head office went well today. Pretty awesome actually. We're dealing with a media crisis at the moment. Apparently a grower has complained that we mark up our produce by as much as 500% and pay them, sometimes below their cost, which is totally crap.

    My old store used to bag up all the draws, but when you only have 6 to do it doesn't exactly take a lot of time... :P Plus they bag express about 2 hours before closing, and then bag two large lanes and hour out of closing so in reality it's only 2 they need to bag up at closing.

    Strictly incorrect. You can take leave whenever you like, but your manager must approve it first. If there is cover then it shouldn't be a problem.
