This is a tough one because these prepaid cards never have a name on them, and people are allowed to sign for the purchase (until the new PIN rule comes in later in the year anyway). Obviously there was something dodgy going on here but pretty hard to prove it. The tradie was an idiot though, he...

Haha are you serious? No wonder you got in trouble! We're a full service supermarket and staff packing bags is part of our offer and what our customers pay for, plus our policy is to promote the use of reusable bags. And a smelly bag is not going to make you sick.

I've had quite a few customers ask me out. One guy actually waited for my break so he could buy me a coffee, but that was nice, not stalkerish.

No, thats bull (or maybe your friend just has a paranoid manager). What if you have 2 people with the same name? I'm at a pretty big store and we have 4 Davids!

No official company policy on that, they can't discriminate unless there is a legal reason for being 18, eg sale of liquor. Some stores may say you have to be 18 because they want someone mature, but if you're only 16 but mature enough and the right person for the job then they would have to...

Wow you sound like a star for a 16 year old. Better than lots of the 30 year old managers lol!

Haha no way!!

Yep we've got a mic near the storeroom entrance. We almost caught him yesterday, he paged "all produce staff to the meeting room for mandatory sexual harassment training, bring a cucumber" and the meat manager saw him and yelled at him but he ran out.

Some clown keeps coming into our store (we think he's an ex employee of another store) and saying stuff on the PA. Some of the things he has said: * all staff, service 100 (when its really quiet) * all staff, service 69 * all longlife staff to the store room please * Barack Obama to the service...

Bit of excitement in store today as a pro photographer is coming in to take headshots of the managers for the manager on duty sign. My CSM is out at the saloon having her hair done and when she gets back I'm going to help her with her makeup. Very exciting. Everyone looks really nice, the ASM...

So did you get the job? If so, how's it going with your workmates Sanjev, Rakesh and Mandeep?

I'm at Wollies and its ok most of the time, there are some cool people working there so we have fun at work. But I think people look down on us for working there, probably a bit like McDonald's in that sense. If you can get a job in a department store I think that has a bit more prestige. I've...

Ok this is pretty cool. Google Street View inside the new coles at Broadway nsw. https://maps.google.com.au/maps?q&layer=c&z=17&sll=-33.883849,151.194882&cid=4328325700280751093&panoid=q1-S39X_QRYAAAAGOsh7-w&cbp=13,245.21868090504603,,0,0&ved=0CBUQ2wU&sa=X&ei=6Y4CU8K-F7DoiALAk4CgCg&gl=AU&hl=en...

I've dated people from work before, no big deal. There is one girl at work who met her husband through woolies (at another store though). Also there is a mother and son who both work at our store which I think is a bit weird. Sent from my GT-I9507 using Tapatalk

Just make sure he knows you won't be turning up for that shift, and then don't turn up. If you dont get paid for it then take it up with your SM and/or HR.

Sick leave: sick leave isn't like holiday leave where you're expected to use it all and you get any left over paid out when you quit. You're going to look really bad if you use all your sick leave - Woolworths do not buget for people to use ALL their sick leave, and they're going to get pretty...

I don't see why not if you know you're going to be sick. Surely its better to give more notice so your manager has more time to replace your shift?

I hope this doesn't offend anyone, just something I've been thinking about. I was thinking about how a lot of our managers are a bit dumb, unprofessional etc, and it sort of made me realise there are 2 types of wollies workers. (1) those that are just passing through, either while studying or...

1. Just get a standard template off the net, you can get one here: http://www.ag.gov.au/publications/pages/statutorydeclarations.aspx I'd just write on it something like "I was too sick to attend work on 13 March 2014", and then sign it in front of a JP. I've never used one for a sick day...
