Ah bitch! (Not you, Woolworths). I leave on the 22nd May. How much will the pay outs be? Also, advice plz: 1. I currentz have 13 something Annual leave accrued, and I won't take any days off for the next three weeks until I leave. 2. My roster goes W-T-F and then either Sat or Sun depending...

I don't think it is part of our current EBA at least. I used to get 10hr operator shifts and spend them all on checkouts (and i died a little inside every time). What's this about back pay??? And a pay rise??? I have paid no attention to it because I'm leaving, but I'd love some more money.

I dunno. I think that the burden on public resources from smokers is significant, and i'd much prefer my taxes be spent on treatment for people who've had a car accident or a heart attack than on someone suffering from lung cancer cos they've chosen to smoke all their life. HOWEVER that's a very...

I was going to write something along the lines of "OMG!!!" until i realised that when I leave, there will only be four males left on front end, all of which are 18 or below, one of which only ever works every second Sunday and another who hardly gets any hours cos we don't have any money, which...

Oh yeah I remember that question. Don't be absolutely ridiculous. At my old store with was probably a 60/40 gender ratio of service cashiers, in favour of females. Completely unremarkable and inconsequential.

Yay!

I think CSMs can also be the most unappreciated department managers, mainly because they're always stealing interdepartmental staff. One day at my old store I had some techincal problem and neither the SM or Groc 2IC could help so i was like "maybe I should call CSM?" and they're both like "Yeah...

This just proved that THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONWIDE STANDARDISED TRAINING FOR SUPERVISORS. But yes. Ummm how do you deal with faulty gift cards? i remember coming across this last year and basically being like "here other supervisor you deal with this, i'll wait by the phone, it might ring"...

There's a facebook group supported by local politicians titled "BRING BEAR GRYLLS TO TASMANIA!". Although I envisage him fighting off a sea of 84' commodores being erratically driven by deformed two-headed beasts more than demonstrating how to survive in the wilderness.

I guess the supervisors without SManager just print out the ones they can? Only CSM/2IC-but-not have it. On Monday and Wednesday mornings the open supervisor starts at 6 instead of 7 cos they have to get all the old magazines, tear off the covers and then replace with all the new magazines...

Can y'all (actually maybe just service supervisors) see if i've missed any important bits on my supervisor training guide? Kthanx.

Nicola Roxon is on ABC2 New Breakfast. She said that the PHTF actually advised the government that the excise should be raised by 60%, but the gov't settled for 25%. Now THAT would have been the apocalypse.

Couldn't they have given us more warning? Gosh. Turns out we don't actually have a limit, but the SM imposed a three carton limit for the afternoon/night. No one even tried to exceed it though, the people in my town are such rusted-on smokers that a tax hike is like stabbing an elephant with a...

WELCOME TO MY LIFE. I am SO glad this has happened to someone else now. And excuse me even if i do so say myself but we have a 9:15 close and get them done by 9. Your store sounds quieter than ours most of the time so extending your close to 11PM would be totally unnecessary. Also, hot...

I am in love. With a book. The Secret History. I bought it because I'm a tight-ass and it was an attractive and very fat Penguin Classic. IT IS SO GOOD. I want to go to an exclusive college in Vermont and murder a friend. It seems so stylish.

I hate IGA because they support local communities.

Lolololol. I have never known a manager from SSM upwards who would every be capable of running the floor for 1 minute. Today was so super can I just say. I was operator/supervisor superman til 9AM, and then after that I successfully conveyed to my operators that the SSM was on the warpath, so...

The harsh truth. 7-5 supervision tomorrow, and i'm preparing for a showdown with the SSM. She made us not replace 8-5 sickness, which would mean that we have three operators all day. I was like "no", so CSM snuck in a 9-5er without asking. I just hope she doesn't notice, I'll just avoid her...

This is exactly what happened at my old store, which is open til midnight, so i reckon this is a security thing. We had cash office kids til 10PM as well, who took most of them up before they left, then the dm and supervisor took the last 6 or whatever we used until middy. However at my current...
