Rules for Coles:
Yes, the trolleys might be too big, yes they have designed the checkouts too close together so that your fucking double 2X4 pram won't fit through, yes we have boring music on over the store, and yes, we sell kiddies play guns in the childs section (some woman actually had a massive freak out over this to me). But you know what. I DON'T CARE. My supervisors can't change the architecture, stock list or the trolleys. Which brings me to rule number
1) IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A COMPLAINT... MAKE IT TO THE MANAGER. Not to me, the casual service girl who is at work 4-12 hours a week who has never even met the manager, but to the person who makes the decisions.
I don't make the prices. Bi-Lo is just down the hall. In fact, we are in a mall surrounded by other more specialised shops, feel free to go and look there for your items. 2) BUT do not, under ANY circumstances, feel the need to buy something and complain about it, or make the cliched comment about how "fast" things add up. I KNOW it is over priced but sometimes you have to learn when to stop whining about it. And yes, Limes do go up in price, they aren't just at a set price for the entire year!
3) Do not assume that this is either a) My full-time job, b) My life calling or c) Anything other than a casual position. I DO NOT want to climb up the ranks, turn it into a career or any of the kind. I am here for my fourteen bucks an hour, and my occasional bonuses.
4) Clean your hands before giving me change. I do not appreciate being touched, even accidentally, by dirty people. It creeps me out.
5) Don't tell ME that there has been a spillage in an aisle. If it is busy, my supervisor won't pick up the line. Tell someone on stock... or at least don't get shirty when I say that it may take me a few minutes to notify someone.
Hopefully I didn't repeat any
, I agree with most of the ones that have been said already! Work today was exhausting. And some old man made me read his thirty year old postcard. :S. No joke, it was some old crumbling piece of card and he told me it was 36y.o :S
