Same with my SM. He's very quick to point out the negatives but if you ever want something positive from him you have to tie him to a chair and torture him until the dreaded 'Well done' words come out of his mouth.

If I remember correctly, when you have scanned your item, instead of entering the percentage press 'Enter'. I think this then allows you to enter a manual price.

I think the only month where Annual leave is very hard to get is during December. If it was the same for easter our Store Room manager wouldn't be going away for a month and our CSM wouldn't be going away for 3 weeks. Everyone at my store is jumping for joy because our SSM is off on holiday at...

From what I understand, contracted employees who will be absent for 3 or more of their working days, require a doctor's certificate, otherwise it could be classed as an abandonment of duty which can result in dismissal. I don't think casuals need a Doctor's certificate in the same...

Never called in sick. Been with the company for just over a year.

As with us...Which is why all meat has to have EAS stickers stuck on under the label.

I never wear my mesh glove when cutting fruit or trimming, and whenever my SM sees it he's like "Put your glove on please!" I don't. But he's a hypocrite because sometimes he'll cut up some fruit and he won't wear it either o_O Whenever I see him like that I tell him to put it on and he just...

Yeah, but I bet you're the richest guy in your year though :P About this EDR thingy, is that the equivalent to our 'Onecard?'...Basically for every $10 you get 1 point, and you get discounts on certain items. If so, when it was introduced 5 years ago, it took a while to start, but now...

Ha I only just found out the other week that we had a panic alarm in our store. Not only did I not know about it, neither did the CSM, or 2IC, and a few Sups. Mainly because the thing was behind a cupboard which had been there for years. It's there, but no body (even SM) has no idea where it...

While we're on the topic of songs.... If I hear one more Miley bloody Cyrus song I will scream! There's like 3 or 4 of hers that play and it's sooo annoying!

^^ Yeah still a pain in the rear though! Ooh got an interview tomorrow for Produce Manager's job at another store!

Our meat manager got an electric shock today. The wrapper in her department was fucking up so the 2IC jumped on the bench and was turning it off/switching it on etc...and just as she turned it on, the meat manager tried to do something with the fuse and zaaapppp Was totally crazy...SM had to...

Also your cost of stock allows your Department's GP to be calculated correctly. Fresh Food departments do one every Sunday whereas Grocery (correct me if I'm wrong) is once a year?

Just speak to the Cash Office. That's what I did last week when I claimed 100kms for my training. Or speak to your SSM or SM. Also, in the year that I've been at my store I've missed all 3 evacuation drills :P lol. What a great Fire warden I am!

I just applied for a Produce Manager's position at a store in my area :O 1 hour away, so will cost a lot more with petrol, but an extra $250 a week after tax + stips will be ohhmyygodd. Plus it's like 3 times the size of our department, in terms of sales and size. I visited the store last year...

We are meant to have all Rosters completed by 3pm Thursday. Now, meant to and actually are two different scenarios :P

Yeah, Meat isn't a big issue at all. You slap a reduced sticker on a packet of meat and boom it's snapped up instantly. It's a bit different when you are trying to reduce an $8 bowl of greek salad.

Well our SM said that our wastage needs to be half of that. I didn't really think 4k out of 200 is that big, but obviously it is :P lol Also I guarantee that we will never get down to 0.5% overall, because we're a small store, the fresh food departments don't have high enough turn over of...

Definitely. For a store that does between 180 - 200k a week, 4k waste out of that isn't that bad.

In the year that I've been at my store (+ 6 months leave) there has only ever been 2 department managers change (Produce for 3 months then the old one came back) and checkouts. Been through 3 different SMs. First one was only there for a couple of weeks after I started, then my current one...
