    Apparently not. Not the only store doing it either, I know of three that are at the very least.

    Working Monday-Thursday straight. Will be a very fun 11 days. Not entirely happy we're opening Good Friday to be honest.

    How bullshit was that. SM got a call from the Area Manager just as myself and the ASM were walking out the door. An hour later and we'd finally purged the store of everything price cut related. Not happy. All tickets need to be reprinted and hung by 5pm EST today, on special 9up tickets...

    Anyone here not work on frontend? If so, which department(s), and how is your Xmas prep all going? Bit scary that it's now <4 weeks away. Creeps up!

    We have three mobiles at our store (SM, ASM, and me), and I'm fairly certain we can't do this. Our refit was 2 years ago though so maybe newer models can. Dunno. Will try on Monday.

    The iPhone app is brilliant. I was pretty skeptical when I heard about it and had the training come through, but it actually works really well. A couple of other quirky initiatives that you may not have seen in your store yet are being rolled out. There will now be a big black stand at the...

    Oh wow, it's been so long since I've actually been on this thread ever since BoS went balls-up - only found it when I went through my bookmarks looking for something else! Anyone here from the good old days of 1year+ ago?

    $3 Sorbent 8pk next week is going to go bananas. 500ml sauce the week after next at $0.99 save $1.50 also will be huge. Good way to see out the end of financial year...

    Salaried department managers are rostered for 40 hours per week, with most being required to do a 48 hour six-day week, which is then followed by a 32 hour four-day week (ie. work Mon-Sat, have the next Monday off, so two days off consecutively). Salary depends on size of store, how long...

    If you're gone for less than three months they should be able to make you casual and then change you back to PT when you get back, no?

    I tend to disagree a little bit. I find it far better (as a uni student) to work three ten+ hour days and then have four days off, especially if you can manage to have those days off consecutively. That way I can pretty much ignore work for more than half the week (time which I can devote to...

    I have a plethora of innuendo-laden jokes at this point, but I'll bite my tongue :)

    Is your CSM the sort of person who you'd feel comfortable discussing this with? If it's either become a supervisor or quit, you've really got nothing to lose by talking with them.
