on the topic of shirts...i asked one of our cash office girls about ordering new ones for summer.
she told me to hold off for a month or so because she heard we'd be getting newer ones with stripes/different material.
does anyone know about these 'new shirts'?
thanks

You cannot be serious! I just bought a new one the other week... Grrr!
I kinda doubt that there is, why would they update the old shirt with the new logo if they were planning to introduce an entirely new shirt...

Yay working this afternoon.
And I've spent all morning altering my work uniform... size 16 shirt now -> size 10-12
size 16 pants now -> size 11ish and all fitted etc.

I WILL LOOK NORMAL AT WORK INSTEAD OF HAVING HUGELY BAGGY CLOTHES OMG. Lol.
Highlight of my week

okay, so this is going to take the conversation in a completely different direction, BUT

HOW THE FUCK DID YOU MANAGE TO ALTER YOUR SHIRT???

please tell me, mine is completely massive in all the wrong areas.

step by step, k.

please?

Okay, post-upgrade today, I now know what you mean about the screen waking up.. *ANGRY FACE* Not good when it's really busy and you can't even sign on!! >:|

Why do they insist on releasing buggy upgrades? Pretty sure there is something else I read that's a glitch that will be "fixed in the next store release"? UM, why bother releasing this dodgy crap?

(this is a short sleeve shirt)
Put it on (buttoned up) INSIDE OUT. Pull out the sides (including under the arms on the sleeves) and put in pins for where you want the edge of the shirt to be.
Mine looked like the image below.

Then, with a sewing machine, follow the line of pins with a straight stitch. Be neat about it! (while the shirt is still inside out!!!)
Then, cut off any excess material leaving about half a centimetre left overhanging.
Then do a zigzag stitch along the edge of the hanging material.
Done and done.

No, jgibson is correct.
It's a very pale green with (I think) faint pink stripes.... Entirely different. Sigh.
That said, they're allowing us to wear both lots of shirts for a while. Apparently.

 

[babikakez]

thanks heaps. might try that out.

although i do need a new shirt, all three of mine have holes in them. But no matter what size I buy, its still not going to fit. I need like Size 8 shoulders, 16 bust and 12 everywhere else.
I fail majorly at being proportionate.

edit: must spread rep

So does anyone know when this is coming out? Might hold off on buying a new shirt then if its semi-soon.

The NEW new ones will be $25 each.
And pretty sure the guys ones aren't pink striped, that was the women's one I was talking about.
All I know is the guys shirts "look like cowboy shirts lol lol lol" <- the inspired words of cash office chick.

No police when I did it. :S Maybe we aren't important.

A couple of weeks ago I had unloaded all the security items from the safe, and put them on top of the other safe like normal ready for the supervisor to pick up. She comes in, chucks it all in the trolley, even made a comment about the alarms. Anyway CMS rings about a minutes later saying the alarm is being tripped. I said the 2IC was careless, put them on hold, 2IC said she was useless, no police.

That's not good.
The duty manager rang up to call the police off but they told him they have to come in case someone has a gun to his head. Appaz the alarm is a direct line to the cop shop.

Two cars pulled up right outside the doors.
All the customers were like 'wtf?'

Welcome to my life.
Except we open at 7.

You get used to it.

New shirts! Why did they bother making the ones with the new logo? Now there will be people wearing three different types of shirts. I hope they're like the ones that the service station people wear, they look dashing.

YES. They're like the servo ones. (in terms of material at least)
THAT is what I was trying to explain
xD
