Who did you get from WA?My current store manager (male) used to be the SSS.
Now we have a body with a vagina attached from WA. Maybe babikakez knows her?
Today was v. busy. My second last shift at my current store. Got many hugz.
SSS to SM is a promotion. All specialists are equal to STMs.Why did he go down to SM?
In response...Just to go back to the SCO discussion:
I suppose it's different at all stores but -
- we have the silver key with us in the service desk all the time.
- the attendant can leave the SCO area eg. usually to serve smokes
- if it's busy the SCO attendant is the first one to go on registers leaving the supervisor to do smoke shop and self serve. This can be very hard when it's busy
- if you aren't allowed to open the SCO's then how do you put the change in each morning?
yes we were told in training that there must be someone at self serve all the time and they can't leave but this never happens.
1) We also must leave the key in the service desk draw.Just to go back to the SCO discussion:

Wow. I've never served smokes (mostly because I can't stand serving people something that will eventually eat them from inside, but that's a different story). I've never filled drinks during self serve time (WOW. That must be tough!!!!).At night time, I'm doing everything (answering phones, serving smokes, self serve, filling drinks, sometimes confec)
Who'd you get? I probably won't know them though.Now we have a body with a vagina attached from WA. Maybe babikakez knows her?
And yeah, white shirts are fine. Half my store is in one.I actually have a pretty interesting question.
If something happens to your woolworths shirt, are you allowed to go into work with a plain white business shirt as a last resort?
If you are/if youre not allowed, has anybody here needed to?
To be honest, if it was only for a short period (1-2 shifts), I don't see how it would be too big of a problem. At least you are actually working as opposed to cancelling your shift an hour before or 30 minutes before.
I think this will be good to know just incase.
Oh really, I wouldn't want to go back to working in-store everyday.SSS to SM is a promotion. All specialists are equal to STMs.
No actually, lol. We're attached to a shopping centre, so at 5pm when those roller doors close, it becomes a dead town. After 7pm it is literally ABANDONED.Wow. I've never served smokes (mostly because I can't stand serving people something that will eventually eat them from inside, but that's a different story). I've never filled drinks during self serve time (WOW. That must be tough!!!!).
I don't see how HR can run out of green shirts. They are so plentiful, I've got four!Who'd you get? I probably won't know them though.

Its not about HR running out, its about people being too lazy to buy their own. I massively tore mine down the front today.I don't see how HR can run out of green shirts. They are so plentiful, I've got four!
Why should we have to buy our own shirts? The agreement says we should be reimbursed for them. From the WA state agreement:Its not about HR running out, its about people being too lazy to buy their own. I massively tore mine down the front today.
And I saw our regional compliance chick today in one of the fitted shirts, she looked pretty good. We had an interesting conversation about my useless arm. And strangely it wasn't terrifying talking to her
Which is why people are allowed to wear white shirts, and green shirts are a tax deductable item.Why should we have to buy our own shirts? The agreement says we should be reimbursed for them. From the WA state agreement:
"...the company shall supply such uniforms free of charge or pay for its purchase and such uniform shall remain property of the company."
In addition,
"Where an employee is required to wear uniform, other than jumpers, such uniform shall be maintained and laundered at the company's expense."
We're allowed to wear white shirts, but not permanently. In addition, green shirts are a tax deductible item for those who pay tax. This contravenes the agreement as a) the company is not paying for the shirts, b) tax deductions are not available to everyone, therefore even if we ignored a) not everyone would get free shirts, and c) the cost of laundering the shirts is still not being paid.Which is why people are allowed to wear white shirts, and green shirts are a tax deductable item.
idk what area you're in, but there's no way that our HR people would just hand shirts out when they were needed. Actually, the HR officer was in white on friday and saturday.
In my store, they go to cash office first, and then get allocated to your respective department manager.Hey when our ordered shirts come in how do we know they have arrived? Will we be given them or do we get told to go collect then or do we just keep asking the cash office if they have arrived yet?
Btw us it the cash office they go to?
In my store it's the SSM. Or SM. Or STM. Can't remember One of the managers.Hey when our ordered shirts come in how do we know they have arrived? Will we be given them or do we get told to go collect then or do we just keep asking the cash office if they have arrived yet?
