Nope, that sounds silly. But if there's a customer lineing up when there's a register free nearby I'll direct them to the open checkout and supervisors will usually direct people to free registers.Does anybody have to stand in front of their checkout whilst they are not serving customers ?
I had this a few years ago. So nice!On another note, a lady wrote a nice feedback form about me and management gave me a box of chocolates
It does sounds silly doesn't it. Well that is what we are expected to do at my store. According to management we have to do this because our store is being overhauled and this a decision by state office.Nope, that sounds silly.

Well I could understand if it's moderately busy and you're not out the front for long, but at say 8pm on a Monday when there's hardly anyone in the store there's no way that I would stand out the front of my register for sometimes up to 10-15 minutes at a time.It does sounds silly doesn't it.

The Coles at Capalaba Park in the outer eastern suburbs of Brisbane has this setup. It was rather weird to see.Question: Does anybody else's store have a "facing" express layout - two checkouts connected to the service desk and then a little enclosed module with two express checkouts facing each other. Ours got moved that way a few months ago and I hadn't seen it but the night supervisor said it's that way in QLD.
The coles in our centre is like that, I think... I don't take much notice of coles. I'm from QLD, haha.Question: Does anybody else's store have a "facing" express layout - two checkouts connected to the service desk and then a little enclosed module with two express checkouts facing each other.

Thanks for that much appreciatedWell I know for myself I just filled in the online form with my details, resume, etc; did the test and then a few months later got a call from a lady at my local Coles asking if I'd like to come in for an interview.
If you go in-store they'll probably just tell you to go online, unless they're specifically looking for a certain position (i.e. a few months ago my local Coles were desperate for late night/overnight nightfill staff so they put some signs up around the store and in the paper)
With regards to flexibility, hours, etc. that all depends on your store's CSM, the Service wages budget and the number of staff.
If you're >18 you'll probably get a few more hours because you'll be able to work reg#9 and express (because you can sell cigarettes)
8-10 would probaly be the average with two to three shifts a week.8-10 hours as a maximum? Depends on the store but in my store I get on average 10-15 hours/week.
The most important thing is to be flexible (well, at least during your application & interview ) - I need money at the moment so I always stay back, come in early, do call-in shifts.
It also depends on when you can get there after school, I usually get only one weekday shift because all the people who go to schools closer in town get earlier shifts.
