well you may naturally be good at talking... i just like to prepare so i nail the questions...Lmao indeed. I find it best to not prepare for interviews, because when the question comes up, you think "oh shit, did i have an answer planned for this one? what is it, what is it? shit shit".
Just answer it as they come, don't plan. Think of a question to ask at the end, I find that always helps.
I turned up to both my interviews in casual coths (even white shoes. (my black school shoes broke that day)) and I got the job, so don't worry.

there is no way to turn the volume up since the upgrade
... the button under the screen no longer does anything.Our volume buttons work.
Okay so we've only just got them this week so everyone is still really confused about the cashing up of selfserves. The NCR trainer told us we shouldn't take the dispenser trays etc out to the cash office because they break easily. But our SSS has said we need to take the trays out to the cash office and empty them in there, then fill them in there in the mornings. Is this what your store does? :S Seems like a huge pain in the ass, yes/no?
Also.. HOORAY, they took the screen savers off =D

Haha that is so stupid. We have 2 bags (same as the ones used for change orders on registers) for each sco. A red one for dispensers and blue for acceptors. At the stArt of the day we just go and collect the floats and the keys (all in a blue cool bag) from cash office. At the end of the day the office cashier brings the cool bag down with the keys, bags etc. we empty the cash into each of the bags and stick the signature receipts, cash & sale reports, lanyards, eft reads, keys and take the bag back down to the office. Maybe you should suggest this to you SSS cause his way sounds rediculous..

Ahh was this just today?
Today was my first shift, and after signing off I looked at the screne and it just displayed the standard blank screen. In training and stuff it had screen savers, even on the operators monitor.
Ha
I think the idea is he doesn't want cash being handled on the shop floor.. I'm thinking, it's not going to make any difference. I mean we have 2 pencil cases, a huge one for acceptor then a small one for dispenser notes. And I just emptied everything into them on the shop floor but the duty manager was telling me the SSS wanted it done out the back so we took the empty dispenser trays out the back anyways because she was paranoid he would turn up in the morning to check on us (they've been hanging around heaps lately, obviously because we just got the self serve and new registers/service desk and the refurb and all). I see how it might be easier to fill them in the morning out the back... but seems like it will be really easy for people to mistake which SCO the trays came from (don't worry, they are numbered, I checked, lol).Haha that is so stupid.

All the new signage has gone up (the new Woolies logo at the front) and all the boards inside.. looks so good now. I said I would take a pic of the new registers (with stainless steel) but I haven't got around to it yet

Forgive me if I'm wrong but aren't your normal registers spot checked and picked up up the front? Surely doing whatever you do to SS wouldn't be any different and/or less secure than what you normally do on large registersI think the idea is he doesn't want cash being handled on the shop floor..

had mine earlier this week, very similar questions. but instead they asked me what i hated about my old job, and what i enjoyed, its fairly simple. just act yourself, don't insult the interviewer and you've got a job.
got an induction day coming up next saturday, anyone have any ideas on how to survive it without going to sleep?

It all counts
Just sit there in the knowledge that you are getting paid to be bored.
