I lodged an application for UAC towards the end of August and the first offers are being made this Thursday (October 29). Do early round offers work on a FIFO (First in First Out) basis or do they do specific groups (For example, the October offers are for undergrads wanting to transfer...

Don't gun restrictions work because if you are not a law enforcement agent, farmer or sports official, you shouldn't be carrying guns full stop? Sure it's not going to deter criminals, but what would happen when they get caught with a firearm in public? They'll get charged with possession of...

I don't get exam leave. Our store makes the effort of asking for time off as hard as asking priests for condoms. Also, nothing that exciting has happened to our store, except when code 100s are called during the day and all the managers leave through Liquor like a SWAT team.

You know, after two weeks since upgrading the self serves, I have come to the conclusion that the NCR software was better. It did feel clunky and inflexible in some areas but doing pickup runs, cancelling transactions was easier and the audio cues could be heard. The only benifets of the WoWPoS...

Re: Refugees leach over half a billion dollars of tax payer money in the last 24 mont I can't help but to notice those who complain that immigrants are only coming here are the ones who are more than happy (or have been) living off welfare themselves to fuel their diet of pot, cigarettes and...

Just an open question for all: Does anyone watch Question Time (Particularly the House of Representatives) because the sight of grown men and women behaving like school children is an amusing sight? Whenever I can, I try to watch QT for that reason. Sure it is low brow, however IMO it makes a...

When I used to do close shifts, I used to do the close announcements in the most professional way. Then one shift, I tried to do a CRAZY WAREHOUSE CLEARANCE ANNOUNCING THE STORE WILL CLOSE IN FIIIIIVE MINUTES! FIIIIVE MINUTES! but I got cold feet half way through the announcement. Fortunately, I...

I forgot to say that there is this one customer I see at work regularly. She has her kid on a leash, literally. Is that really necessary to have your kid on leash? I will say that it's not a neck collar leash, but a harness sort of leash.

It looks easy, but doing eight hours of it can send patient people over the edge. On the one hand, nothing like having to intervene at the same machine every few minutes because either the machine's scales are not calibrated or the customer unable to follow simple instructions. The upside is...

I work at Woolworths on the checkouts as my way to pay my HECS as I go, so I see and hear screaming kids pretty much every time after 3pm on a weekday. On the one hand, parents should be allowed to smack children. If they do something that they would normally be charged by the police but can't...

Usually on a really bad day when the bloody scanner wants to scan everything twice, I get pulled over and sign a void sheet explaining why I had so many voids. Though, how many voids does it take for one to get quizzed? Is it 10 items in one shift or is it total of $100? Usually I have reports...

Ask your Front End department manager tomorrow. S/he'll tell you when the report comes. Though the reports aren't entirely accurate as quantatity scans are factored in and make some people scan as much as 60 IPM.

Yes. What happens is that at the end of the day (or it could be the first thing in the morning), a report for front end is compiled. The report tells a lot about the induvidual scanner such as how much money the scanner made, how many customers the scanner had, idle time, percetage of Everyday...

ACA is the less of the two evils. ACA seems to run more cross promotion and celebrity puff pieces than TT, while Today Tonight seems more intent on ramming the message that shonky Lebanese builders who are rorting the tax system by making kids fat who build footpaths will give you cancer. I've...

Please stop using $50 notes, especially in express. I can't create an endlesss supply of other notes and don't get pissy if I ask if you could use as much correct change as possible. If I do have to stop to get more notes, it's because you are the 100th customer in a row to give me a $50 note...

I can vouch for that. Applied in May for a July transfer. Went alright until it was sent to HR. Didn't hear anything until August, where I had a letter of rejection dated in July. By the middle of July I didnt care anymore as it was only 2.5km difference.

Well, my store has changed dramatically in the past two/three years I've been there. When I started, 5pm wasn't really a rush period and the shopping centre carpark was full during peak hour but not full of cars circling the place finding one. Only time it ever got seriously busy was the days...

If the instution has changed its name, should it be the new institute's name? Because Northern Territory University ceased in 2003 and has since been called Charles Darwin University. Or is it what the paper says and name changes are irrelevant?

Sorry I've droned on about this in the past, however I'm transferring degrees and need to get this question about UNSW off my chest. I'm doing an Undergrad degree at CDU (In Darwin, NT). I'm about to wrap up my third semester and have applied to UNSW through the UAC. What I want to know is if...

I only have one exam. Marketing, 8am 4th of November. By that stage I would have gotten over this ballbreaking subject.
