I called in sick anyway but my supervisor asked if I could come in and do the tickets anyway and I said alright. Lol. Least I'll get something this week.
I get paid that, yet I'm 16 :/ You should get a sheet with details of your pay on the manilla folder you get at induction with your ON/OFF job workbooks.yobob said:You shouldve gotten the pay rates sheet during induction.
15yo should get $9.85
that was the only good bit of longlife - being able to very easily bludge! At my store on a Saturday when I quit we had about 13 people working Longlife so basically everything was done by about 230, including overs, so we had heaps of time to play footy in the back room or just bum around! and every 30 mins or so pop our heads out into the store to see what was going onnicollette said:I always see those nightfill/longlife guys who restack the shelves (well they're mostly guys) either bumming around pretending to do work, chatting away to their co-workers or going outside every 10 minutes and doing shit all. How I envy them.
I went into work once where I didnt go 2 minutes without coughing, after about 1 hour i got fed up with it and just said to the manager Im sick Im going home and he said "finally"AndromedaAiken said:Just a quick question. Would they send a staff member home if the staff member is obviously sick?
From what I remember from the beginning of the year (when my centre got evacuated), it sounds the same. Although our recording isn't store-based, its centre based.Harry778 said:I want a recording of the fire alarm. When I first heard it I thought it was a registers goin spaz. First there's a low beeep beep beep, than whoooop whooop whoooop, emergancy emergancy evacuate now!
LOL its soooo funny! It happened as I was going home...should of got my phone out and recorded it lol!
is it the same in every store?
Mmm, wish I had applied for longlife but its all pretty physical I imagine, and I have a hard time just standing at the registers for longer then 2 hours so. If I wanted to change departments, could I ask? Eh..I'm pretty content with registers actually, its just the odd customer that does my head in. I found myself telling this old hag to shutup today hahaha, then she complained to her husband..I hate it when you ask how they are, and they don't respond and give you attitude. Which is why I commited the sin of putting the customer last he he and yelling obscenities at herPeartie said:that was the only good bit of longlife - being able to very easily bludge!

Where you sign in/off. It measures the time you work etc.lordtopcat said:What's a finger scan ?
No unless there are changes to your shift (and technically, if your on a contract, for any shifts outside of your contract)KaaN10 said:I haven't got my finger scan yet when I get it do I still need to fill out the adjustment form?

ORLY?
This was exactly like my first in-store shift. I was chucked on registers straight away to deal with customers, it was all so overwhelming. It would of helped had my supervisor who was supposed to been their had been on registers showing me what to do, then asking if I was okay with everything THEN pairing me up with a buddy to get straight into it.KaaN10 said:After my 8 hour training I didn't get trained for my in store shift they just put me next to a buddy and started serving. I asked about my finger scanner my supervisor said you'll get that eventually. Prior to that the supervisor showed me around the store(cash office, managers office, back rooms, cardbox cruncher, staff rooms etc.)
However the main supervisor wasn't here to do the on job forms, so don't forget that.
Hope I helped.
What department? I do inductions for my department (deli), but I figure it'd be different for each one.townie said:i have to do some training on friday (like the first in-store shift training - they will have already done induction and basic WoWPoS training)
for the new woolies employees out there, what did YOU want to know on your first instore shift? what didnt you get told that would have been nice to know?
