I still wear mine that says 'save everyday' under it. They won't give me a name badge that says 'Jess' rather then 'Jessica', so I just don't wear the new one... I have asked though and my CSM said she would pass along my request so hopefully in the next lot there will be a Jess oneYeah i know, we have millions of coles badges with save everday in our draw at work and we cant even wear them, but they dont want us to throw them out...stupid coles.
But yeah, our coles used to be next to kmart until we moved location, got really annoying shopping there after work because customers mistook me for a kmart worker...was even worse when i turned around and told them i work at coles and they just stare at u blankly.
there are girls at my store named jessica who have jess name badges. there is also one who still has a save everyday badge, but she works like in the office and other stuff out the back so i don't think they particularly care.I still wear mine that says 'save everyday' under it.

I've been told (by Woolies Regional Management) that my Jess name badge is unprofessional, so I have three Jess's and one Jessica (for when they visit )i can't wait to get a new name badge, the one i have now accidentally went through the wash a few times and it somehow got holes randomly stabbed in it. it looks a bit like a dog attacked it. my CSM actually thought that i stabbed it with a pen to "decorate it."

wtf...Jess is unprofessional? but thats your name...so stupid.I've been told (by Woolies Regional Management) that my Jess name badge is unprofessional, so I have three Jess's and one Jessica (for when they visit )
I know Considering I wore a Chelsea badge for the better part of a year, at least I've got my actual name.wtf...Jess is unprofessional? but thats your name...so stupid.
But have you guys heard of the BasicCard? Its for people on centerling - part of there allowance money is on this card, and the card cant be used for smokes, alcohol, recharge cards, itunes recharge, or cash out. But apparently, it doesnt stop the sale if any of the items which arent allowed are bought, so its up to the operator to make sure that these items arent bough on this card.
Sounds like a pain, i can foresee alot of angry bogans.
Ah, VIC hasnt got them yet...i really dont want another card/thing to explain to customers.I know Considering I wore a Chelsea badge for the better part of a year, at least I've got my actual name.
We get a lot of those Basic Cards through, most people are not too bad with them. My store also excludes pet food, and tbh this is where most of the issues arise.
I have NO idea why.Lol why does it exclude pet food? To stop them from eating it?
Woah that is weird. My CSM has her name shortened on it. Actually a lot have the 'shorter' version. The reason I'm having so much trouble getting a Jess name badge is because the SSM apparently orders them from our names on the payroll, which of course for me is Jessica. I had no issue getting my current Jess one because name badges were ordered differently (we just wrote a list of those that needed them on a piece of paper) but now that we all basically needed new ones and stuff then it was just ordered all at once. Hopefully my CSM has passed on my request though. I haven't been told off about my 'save everyday' one and another girl still wears her old one too.I've been told (by Woolies Regional Management) that my Jess name badge is unprofessional, so I have three Jess's and one Jessica (for when they visit )
All of my 'Jess' ones have been made in store with a labelling machine, hehe. My Jessica one, like yours, was done from a payroll list. Its just that I never ever wore it.Woah that is weird.

Did someone mention new name badges again? Are these different from just the COLES ones?
Maybe the fact that its made with a label is why they say it's unprofessional.babikakez said:All of my 'Jess' ones have been made in store with a labelling machine, hehe. My Jessica one, like yours, was done from a payroll list. Its just that I never ever wore it.
Some days I wear it when I'm feeling responsible, lol.
I think there are new name badges for all the renewal stores/ brown uniform stores. Some of like the ShopTalk pictures have them. They're a lot smaller than our current huge ones.Did someone mention new name badges again? Are these different from just the COLES ones?
I just read up on it on the Centrelink website (I thought you were talking about the Coles gift cards that say no alcohol/tobacco on them) - doesn't seem that bad. I'm not scared by bogans. Want smokes? Get a job and pay for them with that.wtf...Jess is unprofessional? but thats your name...so stupid.

Babikakez, I don't think your shop should be banning pet food - it's not mentioned as prohibited in the Terms and Conditions.
Everyone will be getting the new name badges by the 19th. They will be delivered to stores this week and the OIC/SSM will be typing up all the names to be used in the badges. They will be transferrable, you just slide the name in/out.I think there are new name badges for all the renewal stores/ brown uniform stores. Some of like the ShopTalk pictures have them.

Thats how most of our badges are made. The Woolies inserts are sent out to the stores/HR officers, and then the labellers are used to put actual names on.Maybe the fact that its made with a label is why they say it's unprofessional.
I have a proper made up one.Thats how most of our badges are made. The Woolies inserts are sent out to the stores/HR officers, and then the labellers are used to put actual names on.
The properly made ones are rare (at least in my store).
