The chocolates were an EDR promotion - spend $100 with a registered card (excluding credit, cigs, alcohol, gift cards) and get a free box of Ferrero Rochers. We ran out around 2pmish, and only gave the raincheck forms to people who asked.
I didn't give any out, I was in smokes/express all day bar one transaction when an operator wanted to get some panadol.

the card didnt actually have to be registered. we got told to offer to everyone over $100 and if they dont have a card give them one. why give rainchecks it was advertised as 'while stocks last'??

I was on mains for a bit (cause we were so short) but I had a real tough time on SCO. I had to be watching out for people spending over 100 then leap in and offer one. If I didnt Id get people paying then coming up to me, showing me the receipt and going 'wheres the free chocolate??' argh.
I'd hav to check with CSM and theyd add to the tally on their hand of the number to 'fix' on Monday (the counts I assume?)
Along with watching out for people buying Avatar DVD because its not flagged on SCO as being locked, so they have had masses of people come back during the week to get them unlocked.

I'm fairly sure that was part of the advertisement, that the card had to be registered. And we took down the instore signs once we knew we were going to run out before close, we thought about going and getting some off the shelf but the grocery manager was not happy about that. So the rainchecks were just to keep the masses happy.

Out of curiosity, how many people would spend over $100 on an SCO? I would only use them for less than a basketful.

Yep thats why I deleted something else that I said on there last night. I'll give them time to react and rage at me then I'll delete what I've said.

Besides, its safe to say that I've been well and truly identified via this thread. My job safety is already gone.

Err, give you a hint, that Jacob guy, hello yoddle

well i wouldnt use them for a basketful, but people are stupid and try to go through with trolley fulls. most fail and never come back, but we have our regulars

Err, give you a hint, that Jacob guy, hello yoddle

bahah thought so, but i didnt want to assume

 

[babikakez]

they've deleted some of the comments on there lol haha

I deleted some of mine...

OH and guess what yoddle, you have yourself an admirer. My bestie, who is also a supervisor in my store, just said that you are absolutely on fire with that group. She's very very impressed. Nice work, but I certainly hope she doesn't notice the whole 'mutual friends' aspect, haha.

 

[yoddle]

Hahaha cool. I hope no one from work sees it, they'll be like "nerd."

Yes that will be awkward... "How do you know that random guy from Tasmania!?!?"

Haha I've kind of covered my tracks just in case If anyone asks I added you with a message of support, not that she's that internet stalkerish.
At least I hope not anyway

Fuck thats insane.

There's a draft copy floating around on here, I swear someone posted it, but I don't know how different that is to the one that was actually voted on.

 

[wixxy2348]

Fuck thats insane.

Yeah and it's making me start to lose it. I would have been there later tonight but the SSM kicked me out >_<

Had some staffing issues (pretty much staff leaving early, and not completing their work). It got to the point where the SM threatened (this morning) to counsel every one of them. After that, they worked hard.

It's just gay, especially when the work that they don't do is the stuff that physically, I CAN'T do (what with my knee being busted and all). Like stacking our wrapping on shelves, climbing ladders, reaching under the ovens, lifting like 20kg of metal & bread off the floor, crouching down and stuff. SO yeah, ultimatum, kinda win. Let's see how long it lasts.

Fuck...I hate weekends like that. 29.5 hours before breaks, that's pretty extreme. I've only done one of then recently - 0600-0000 and 0900-2300 (amusingly, I was meant to start at 8am on Sunday but slept through my alarm and had to call the SM and apologise that I'd be an hour late) - and went home Sunday night thinking I'd sleep for about 12 hours. At 6:40am Monday I get a call saying our storeperson has called in sick and I am needed to start at 7am. Come 4:30pm I was falling asleep, I actually didn't feel safe driving home I was so delusional, so I asked my STM to drive me, given I'd bailed his and the SSM's arses out over the proceeding three days, he was more than happy to

[killer-cupcakes]

I am over woolworths , the last two shifts have just really irritated me. I was fine at the start of the shift all happy and smiley, but half-way through I just loose all passion for the job, that's it I am considering changing departments.

But my shifts this week are good

SAT: 08:00-16:00
SUN: 13:00-17:00

but knowing me I will be sucked into doing 16:00-22:00 on self serve.

stocktake fucks my life.

Agreed!!!!

 

[wixxy2348]

Agreed!!!!

I would have pulled a ten hour day today, except our GP fucked itself... I had to stay back THREE HOURS to pull our 38% GP up to 49% (legitimately), which is still 11% below what's expected
