    Well with our store needing to cut 75 hours in a month, I can see a lot more departments doing their own too. Haha today there was an induction going on (Which is weird for a Sunday) and I was sitting in the tea room having my break, eating some bread and then the SSM (It's called SAM over here...

    Produce is the only department at my store which does their own tickets :vcross:

    Just had my first Store Room shift. It was pretty awesome. First off, because my SM hasn't issued me with a backgate and forklift key yet I had the spare set of duty manager keys, which was handy getting into the bin, unlocking the butchery coolroom door, instead of walking around and opening...

    whatashotbyseve applied for the marketing program if I recall, however he was turned down, went to Coles and got accepted. So maybe Woolworths Grad programs are harder to get in to.

    Well yes, but what fun would that be? In my opinion, playing games with customers is the best part of the day :)

    I'm pretty sure you can only do a manual price entry with the RF printer if you have Manager access (As in SM access, not Department manager)

    Ummm there's no 'right or wrong' answer for this question, it is purely about his level of experience. C. Always stop what you are doing and walk the customer to the exact location of the product. C. Thieves don't like it when staff talk to them, and will know that they are being watched and...

    Maybe add a few line breaks and I might read it :P lol We had a 'trial' AutostockR audit today. Produce failed :p Pretty darn stupid doing an Audit on Sunday though, quite low stock levels etc. The only thing I failed on was I had empty crates with tickets, instead of putting those tickets in...

    Not as far as I know, during the day it's usually the SM or our SSM which is Duty (Apart from Weekends when there is a normal duty on) and there is a duty on in the evenings. We have 5 people who are just employed as Duty Managers, and plus the SM, SSM and a few other department managers who...

    Oh don't you worry, if our SM ever pulled a stunt like that he would quickly be pulled back into line :D

    That's not really the point. The point is that if produce is paying for an employee to be in produce, they expect them to be in produce. Like for example if ever someone from Produce is on checkout (express) for more than 15 minutes we always make c/o pay for their time. Also the hard thing is...

    Let your Produce Manager know...Man if a Duty manager (or anyone else) directed one of my staff members to another department to do something (except Checkouts/express) I would be so angry.

    Everyone at my store knows where the spare store keys are kept (in the general office) and it's easy enough to walk in there and grab them, which we used to do before this 'policy'.

    Ours are kept inside our back yard and are only ever outside in the car park at Christmas time and when they are being emptied.

    The Duty Manager puts a call over the pager "Attention all staff the waste bin is now open and will remain open for the next 5 minutes" Stupid rule if you ask me. I can seriously see it being relaxed in a few weeks, the DM's will soon get sick of it. In fact I can guarantee the first person to...

    Ridiculous! A policy that came out a few months ago is only just being enforced in our store, and it really sucks. Basically our wastebin is only opened 3 times a day, for 5 minutes. The Duty Manager unlocks it, stands there and looks at everything you put in there. So if you miss out on the...

    We don't use People Planner for our rostering over here, we use a web based application through Citrix (Which I'll take a screenie of tomorrow) Our Manager's computer has everything that a normal workstation does.

    No the the ones for the 6pp tickets which we use for Produce here. The little Velcro tabs kept falling off, very annoying.
