Sorry babikakez, didn't explain myself well. I meant the W as in a small text W in the bottom right corner of the PINPad display, which indicates that WOW EFTPOS is offline.

I never knew that

I never knew that

There you go! If I remember correctly, if there is an A on the bottom right of the PINPad display, AMEX is offline.

And... I'm guessing that if there is a G on the display, GCM to Blackhawk is offline, although I haven't seen this in any documentation yet... time to re-read the EFT stuff methinks

I guess you just have to keep trying. Unfortunately at this time of the year they just have so many applicants, some years stores will need heaps of staff and others not so much. For instance, my store has kept all of its easter staff, so we're not hiring massively.

But I do feel for you. My brother got rejected from four separate roles at Woolies. I had about the same level of experience as him, and got a job within three days of applying - so it can be really random.

I swear our store has been forgotten, we still havent gotten GCM stuff except the iTunes cards, called the supermarket helpdesk, and they are like "yeah, yeah, we'll get back to you" and still havent, we also never got our new Toll Bags. Hate how mailbags are only picked up twice a week now as well.

Are all stores phones connected to the PA? i've only ever been able to page other phones, but have never tried this #9 thing before.

as for register shorts

+/- $20 need an investigation form
+/- $50 needs to be reported to the SSS
Regular +/- $20's from the same operator need to be reported to Loss Prevention.

Also, friggin HATE uni exams, have no operators for next week. Craven, ekul, whatashotbyseve, ANYBODY come to my store

Our store don`t have any of these phones. Our Front End consists of:

Service Desk: - Fixed Phone
- Microphone

Checkouts - Bells(About 3 for the entire front end) and lights.

Liquor - Microphone
- Fixed Phone.

I wish we had phones on each checkout, It would be SOO Much easier(especially on Saturdays!)

lol, sorry, holidays as of Friday!! but I will be in Sydney, lol.

So, if you're wondering what the difference between the plain and spot shirts are checkout the new brochure and fax/mail order forms coming to your lunch room... spot looks much better! I was going to take a picture but I took off and forgot!

 

[babikakez]

I also think that spot looks heaps better.

 

[townie]

woo, stripey shirt

edit: btw, is that Greg Foran?

 

[Craven]

Oh and the stripey shirt is for Service Manager, Service Supervisors, SSM, STM, SM, according to the brochure. But it could be dependent on your store. I don't think they want supervisors at our store to wear them... but I guess if we're wearing them we can do away with vests... despite the fact I don't have one (still 'on order' apparently, lol).

 

[babikakez]

looks like pyjamas to me.

No one bar our csm wears the vest, so I doubt the rest of us will be wearing the management/supervision shirt.

IMO, a better idea to identify people as supervisors/managers would be to give them a separate name badge - ie

Townie
Customer Service Manager

or

Babikakez
Service Supervisor

etc

Really? Can staff do random shift at ANY store without needing CSM's permission? I'm casual atm...if that matters

 

[babikakez]

I also think that grocery staff should be able to wear the polos. Coz then I would get one

I have over 86 job submissions this year, only 1 interview. How about you? Had an interview with manager last week. Called him Monday and told me that the store only need 1 person (nightfill) and they will decide if they need another by the end of the week.
I think you have to be persistent. Do the HR even notice?

 

[Craven]

Sure can, as long as you have available hours. I've worked in other stores when they were desperate for a close supervisor.

Haha, they used to have a CSM badge, but haven't seen that in a long time. Okay, at our store whoever is on service has to wear a vest, but only 1 person at 1 time (if there are 2 people on service the most senior person wears the vest). Except, this doesn't work when none of us have vests, lol.

So is there a big difference in spot/plain??
My shirt STILL hasn't been shipped btw, getting pretty annoyed now...

 

[Craven]

Yep, the spot is made up of two different colour spots.. I will take a picture of the brochure tomorrow incase people don't see it at their store
and they have new badges too, stainless steel ones (like BigW)

Edit:
well, from afar they will look pretty similar, but when you get up close you can tell the difference.

 

[babikakez]

Plan on getting this one:
