    The Woolworths Thread

    I'd be doing that no matter what anyway and explain the conversation. That is total BS and that CSM should be very careful how she approaches situations such as yours, with it being a medical emergency and all.

    The items you look up on your POS - veggies, fruit, cool drinks, heavy items....etc.

    The Woolworths Thread

    That is very, VERY true. Our SSM has been at our store for 17/18 years, but she has told me each and every time a new manager comes in they will never take her advice on how to deal with certain situations, or customers in our small town or staff in our store. New managers don't realise that...

    99: Insurance - Is used for Withdrawals and Recalls. 71 or 75 (I think): Is for IDT (Inter Department Transfers) - When the store needs to purchase milk, coffee, tea or other approved items for staff use.

    So did anyone here do an April Fools joke on staff members? I did......We had a truck on Wednesday and weren't getting another truck until Saturday. The Wednesday truck was a huge one with the perishable and produce fridges jam packed and the back dock packed as well. It was worse than...

    I would tell the customer to place the 30/24 pack cool drinks at the end of the checkout themselves or place it on the floor. Maybe also tell them a little white lie, that you've twinged your back and the lift and turn motion makes it hurt. What can they say?

    Yes, that has been the rule for a numbers of years now. Hence the reason why the 30 pack, 24 pack are on the POS screens. I even place the 12 & 10 pack drinks on the screens too for the sake of the operators.....and me when I'm on checkout. :haha: It all has to do with OH & S. Those who are...

    I hear ya'.......oh boy......do I hear ya'!!! The moral in our store has never been so low. Quite sad actually.

    Chances of getting overtime at Woolworths? Hmmmm....how about zero/nil. In regards to the mystery shopper - I can't stand how management over reacts to the report every single time. You'd think we flicked boogers at the shopper and flipped them off as they walked out the store!! I feel...

    Stock Management Click on "Reports" icon Using drop down menu click on "Inventory" Click on "RF User Log" If you want the report for that day don't change the date. For previous days, change the date. This report should be done by the SSO first thing in the a.m. to make sure all guns are still...

    I never really liked to link TUN's to an item number because it could screw up your counts, so I used to leave it to corporate to do that.....BUT....if you want to, you need to go into Back Office and do the following - TO LINK EAN NUMBER 4 – 2 – 2 Type in EAN Enter Type in...

    Salary personal don't fall under the EBA. If you are wages then you do (an advantage of being on wages). I was asked to go on salary and I bluntly said, "I'm not going to be a Woolworths b*tch." The SM didn't say much and just grinned. He must know the truth. :lol:

    The Woolworths Thread

    Yeah, I hear that!! There are days we don't have enough checkout staff. But what erks me more is sometimes we have heaps of floor staff who are not checkout trained. Personally, I think it's the managers fault half the time too because when he asks certain individuals if they would like to be...

    And the one thing I hate about Media Manager is when you're writing an A4 adhoc, you can't center the text!! With all this money Woolworths has and the amount of upgrades they've had, they still can't move away from a DOS program and come into the future. :roll: And to "ekul444" in regards to...

    Ok, here we go. I did remember to look at my colours for back office. As I mentioned before, they aren't great colours but it makes back office SO much easier to read. Standard colour: 10 Inverse colour: 15 Overlay text: 39 Lookup text: 39 Data Input: 39 Help colour...

    Not impressed by Woolworths, but then, as a staff member my impression has decreased substantially over the past 12 months. Instead of encroaching on established small businesses in small towns, why don't they put their money were it's truly needed? Our little Woolworths is in a small town in...

    If I was management I'd be happy with that. :uhhuh: That one was in the 8.0 zone, wasn't it? I was told by senior management those various 8.0's were the worst they've had to deal with. No shit!!! I swear there must have been 8 upgrades in that 12 month period. Grrrrrrrr!

    It a case of trial and error. I found some colours where you can see the highlighted text, they are gaudy and bright and not too bad on the eyes. But it's better than dealing with the default colours in back office. IF I can remember, I'll write down the numbers for you and post them here...

    Since I'm not in systems anymore, I have no idea. I guess I should have had a gander at the notice when I was in the systems office getting tickets. :p It was probably something minor, like the majority of them are. Here's another gripe when it comes to upgrades - Why oh why do IT send down...
