    Yeah that's what i thought when I wrote it, but i didn't think that anyone would have such a Dad sense of humour. ALSO i just found out that I'm staying in a villa in Spain next to the Med FREE for a week with a group of friends from school!! MEGA HAPPY ATM. Dad paying lots of money we hardly...

    Oh yes you're in a shopping centre. That would makes things a bit different I guess. I've only ever worked in stand alone stores. I mean capable person at my store could make up an announcement like you guys do, but I actually think most of them would just not say anything at all and not know...

    Hi. Speaking of evacuations, does everyone have an oldish looking poster at the Service Desk which says exactly what to say over the PA in the event of a building emergency? There was one that was tacked to the wall at my old store that had a step by step instruction on what to say, but there is...

    What are you currently Reading?

    Nothing! Why is it that when I'm really busy all i want to do is read, but when I have nothing to do, all I want to do is not read.

    You're right it was unwitting, what is STAR? KPMG? Aren't you doing like Terrorism studies or something? Sounds a lot more interesting than accounting. I found a new love for tickets yesterday! The time goes so quickly and it's not hard work at all, and I feel good learning new stuff...

    I thought that is still was? Maybe it's region-specific? We haven't had anyone since they announced it, and word out there on the chill chair is that our entire area isn't having any more inductions for anything until June. I have no idea what the staff trainer is doing with her time atm...

    Hello. I'm currently applying for Heathrow-based cabin crew with Qantas, and these are my draft answers to the questions, please pass opinion before I submit? Way too long? The second one isn't even compulsory and i wrote shitloads. Please provide a personal example of when you have delivered...

    I'm proud to be the only supervisor who has even opened the MOS folder since around August last year. And i've only tested two operators. Today and yesterday were v quiet I must say. I spent quite a bit of time in Grocery. For some reason i volunteered to do 6AM-12 on Monday, doing tickets.

    Malcolm Turnbull quits politics. Tears.

    I was so glad you added to this point with a self-quote because that was a dreadful point. Whilst all of this is very interesting and I am aware of how inward-looking the Labor Party can be, there is a group of people called voters whose views occasionally have some bearing on whom political...

    Mmm this. When i started doing duty i was like to all the grocery/perishables staff "i have no idea what i'm doing please just tell me what you need to do" I call it the "The Machine Thing" which isn't technically correct as it's not mechanical. Tonight was McDead. Except the most...

    Isn't that the million dollar question. You could ask mannequin, because he (she?) had to do like a million on Easter Thursday according to her post. But yes exactly what you mentioned happened to me that day and it was as bad as i envisaged. The CSM just rang and i lost my Sunday shift...

    Stephen Smith? Despite your self-assured argumentative style you sometimes really don't know what you're talking about.

    ^ I think managers are generally alright at seeing through the sucking up. Surely it never says 2IC on rosters for 2ICs? Doesn't it just say GROCASST or PRODASST etc? And for dpt manager it just says 'MANAGER'

    ^ say to the what? Pretty sure no one even thinks twice about Hockey's race at all. I think to 96% of voters he's just Australian. Fat, but Australian. I think he lacks charisma and gravitas when it comes to being an alternative PM though. Agree with Lentern in regard to Andrew Robb...

    Malcolm Turnbull quits politics. Tears.

    I am very sad. But Malcolm is probably too impatient and too active to hang around until after the next election, where he could of claimed the leadership and and take the Liberal Party into territory it could be proud of. With Minchin and possibly Abbott gone, his task would have been easier...

    What kind of nasty things do you say to him? Do you throw him into the canned soup and spit on him and stuff? I know it's so awkward when people are like "oh is this your first day?":mad1: Except on Saturday this customer was like "You're waaaay too friendly. You obviously haven't been...
