Wow what the hell? My CSM does 7am to 4pm, Monday to Friday (40 hours a week) lol

How big is your store? CSM is down for 7-4 but does 6-6 (sometimes 7) and our 2IC is down for 10-7 (usually does 9-7/8). Both alternate weekends too. How did your CSM get away with no weekends lol?

That's right, he must have closed over at Macquarie Centre one day though. I remember reading about it.

I did do a few shifts there yeah

She does extra occasionally, but not often. I'm not sure . I only work weekends and I literally haven't seen her since the start of the year trololol.

On an unrelated note, are we supposed to ask if people want a rewards card? We have all these signs over the registers "CUSTOMER DONT HAVE REWARD CARD? ASK IF THEY WANT ONE" (I never do)

No. Originally when the EDR program was launched, operators were required to ask customers who didn't already have an EDR if they would like one. This was stopped some time ago, basically because customers were getting annoyed at being asked every time they shopped.

My old CSM used to always stay back an extra hour every afternoon. I guess he liked his job. So he'd do around 45 hours a week? My current CSM however has kids, and can't do this, so she always leaves on the dot when she finishes. But she's not salaried, cause she's just doing relief.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I remember we used to ask... for like a day. And I was told we had to ask for EDR BEFORE we started the transaction, because we should be remembering it beforehand? I was like WTF does it matter? So long as we ask for it.

I'm glad they phased that out too.

While looking through the facebook page I found a guy named Matthew comment on someones tag with the statement "Employee of Woolworths, view are my own and not those of my employee"

So naturally I just assumed this is iMatthew

I just like to go look at what people say and wish I could really give it to them. Some of them are hilarious but =P

 

[nanakid12]

Oh really? I post on Facebook too!

Also have any of you guys got pictures on the All Yours website? I sent in a few from my store, and they put them up on the website - they even put one of my pictures of a coworker in the xpress magazine!

PM me if you want me to link ya

 

[iMatthew]

Gogo, link

@Jolyon - I know exactly what you're talking about! Definitely.

 

[nanakid12]

The presense of this group slightly irritates me.

Noticed some new songs being played today (besides xmas carols)

Jessie J - Pricetag, Who You Are
Florence + The Machine - You've Got The Love

Anyone heard anything else?

 

[iMatthew]

Plenty of new songs played over the radio over the weekend, all of us at the store were shocked!! I actually went and turned the music up as a result hahah.

Yeah that group is pathetic. Go back to when the group as first created and you'd see myself and a few others involved in heavy discussions with those sad dedicated people

 

[nanakid12]

We must be on a different system to you guys, cause we still havent even got the Xmas carols yet. I remember them writing on All Yours they had "immediately deleted Somebody Stole My Horse song and Watermelon Man" but I still heard them the next day.

Will wax my ears before I go to work next time though

And yeah, went through Mathew and found your profile again on that page, back from December last year haha.

Meh it happens, they probably wanted me to work tonight.

Hmm strange... Sometime this week they painted the bulkheads in our store from the dark 2010 grey to a light grey. They only did 3 out of the 4 walls though, the whole front wall along front end wasn't painted. Its made the place look quite different, but a bit odd for them just to randomly paint a few walls...

Maybe Lantern or Recharge is coming???

 

[nanakid12]

What in the hell is lantern?
