i read it all... i was thinking the whole time.. just call DC.. hehe

 

[lordtopcat]

Yeah, well fat lot of good it did calling the DC. "Sorry mate can't help you"

 

[townie]

why would they send out such crucial information in an e-mail? dont you have CoreComms, or the old Host Bulletin Board?

and why not tell anybody else in the support offices?

PMd you townie

No, I don't even know what CoreComms is, and I never hear anyone talking about it (only on BoS) so I assume we don't have it.

And why they didn't tell Support I don't know. I read the email to the Area manager and he's like wtf? I never got that.

It's like last year I remember when Multi Buys were first introduce into Produce, and there was a Salad bag special, 2 for $5. Well it wasn't coming up on the system, I spoke to buying, IT, area manager, no one had heard of the offer and yet it was in the national paper! Surely SOMEONE must have known about it They all thought I was crazy lol

On a different note. Who here has a female store manager? (Just like to add I'm NOT being sexist) I have only ever had 1 Female store manager, all the other stores I have worked at/visited they have all been male. Why do you think this is? I have to actually say the female SM I worked with was brilliant, much better than the waste of space male I have now.

 

[groovygirl]

surprisingly my store wasnt as busy as normal sundays. wondered where all those shoppers are hiding . it was a good shift with time to breathe and relax and not be stressed at long ques. my supervisors let me finish early cos they forget to let me go for a break. I didnt feel like a need one. Just told a supervisor half and hour before i finished that i can finish and she let me go since it wasnt that much busy which i cant believe. but everywhere else in westfields was bust like target and other small stores, why not woolworths?

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Never had a female SM, but all the STM/SSM's are female, so sort of.

 

[wixxy2348]

Does everyone else here have to do fresh @ 2??

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Certainly do. Although I try and get out of it lol.

 

[wixxy2348]

I hate it.
My aisle takes forever.

Confectionary, Prop Bakery, Jellies, tinned fruit, iceblocks, cups etc.
Argh. So many little things.

Left the important service keys in my pocket, realised after I got home today. I was like FUCKKK!
Only set of keys that they need for to close (after hours door keys and etc), any other keys would have been perfectly fine since I'm there at 0630 tomorrow.

Gah, anyway. Also not working NYD now, they made a 'mistake' and rostered me on for that SCO with somebody else.. ffs

Re: Woolworths FAQ- how to get a job

Hey guys quick question,

I want to order a shirt online from totalimageonline.com.au and I made an account and selected Woolworths, it promtped me to enter my store and my employee number and whatnot so I did. But when I go to checkout the shipping address simpyl says OAKLEIGH SHOPPING CENTRE. How will the postman know to go to Woolworths, and besides, where do I collect it from in the store anyway?

I tried to change my address but it's greyed out, even if I change the store location and so on.

Thanks for the help.

Its alright, my order had the same thing and it arrived ok... I think it comes by a total image courier or something cause mine wasnt even in any shipping packaging - just the shirt packaging.

Your department manager or some other manager will give it to you when it arrives (my SSM gave me mine)

Floor check

Does that mean what i think it means? Do you just have to look at the floor?

I'd be freaked out if I were shopping and all the employees just looked at the floor and went back to work.

EDIT: I love how all the managers pull out all the stops re: policy and stuff like that whenever bosses are coming to the store. It was rather sweet watching a few of the managers crap themselves the other week when we got a surprise visit.

By 'floor', I think it means check the floor area (the front end) for safety issues. Like how you would say "Don't bring the silver SCO key out on the floor whilst trading" for example.

Oh!!!!So what did u do then?do they have spare keys or u had to go back?

Thats weird when you are rostered on and then they say you are not working that day specially when it is PUBLIC HOLIDAY..
On public holiday our CSM is giving all the shifts to 15-16 year olds.a couple of them are not even available..lol..

Yeah I had to return them
They rostered myself AND some 18 year old on for that public holiday (6.5 hrs), so today my supervisor goes "blah blah made an error whilst doing the rosters, since you're already on a public holiday".

Who knows, she could have just said "blah made an error", since her and the 18 year old are like 'fingers crossed'. *roll eyes*.
