    Haha I have a story about that SSM. So he asked me if I could stay back for longlife/nightfill on Monday night, I told him yes so long as he paid me overtime. He was like "erm nah I will just pay you your normal rate and you can just sign an addition adjustment", then I told him I was part-time...

    My STM told me that if I needed time off for uni stuff he would let me use my sick leave up (without a medical certificate), just not to go around telling everyone in the store when I do it. If I don't have enough sick leave then I can just take unpaid leave without needing to use up annual...

    It gets even more confusing when you transfer stores because a lot of the older stores tend to keep tradition of using old dept names and newer ones name them the new ones. Also out of interest how are your notes/coins arranged in your tills? Maybe I am a bit obsessive compulsive but I have...

    Thats sounds terrible, but it doesn't surprise me to be honest. I can't believe you were in there packing, its never that bad! Well I did have fun water zorbing today, although i'm still sat here studying human biology and i'm freaking because I have a test on Friday thats worth 10% of the...

    Yea if I had worked today things would have been alright. When I left Saturday the place looked messy and empty and I only had time to do all the reducing early (cause I knew they wouldn't of got done today), so I suppose more stuff sold and it looked even more empty. Was it really that bad...

    Aww, I love you. <3 :p I'm going to have a bath now to relax and think of all the fun I will be having tomorrow water zorbing and finally having a day of rest. Maybe fitting in some study before I leave tomorrow. :D

    Just had one of the most horrible days in Bakery today. Had one bakery assistant go home sick and we had the 2IC that doesn't help us pack production at all and takes super long lunch/tea breaks. So that left me and another bakery assistant packing production and we didn't finish until...

    11) Take your wallet with you so you can go to maccas. Once we had to evacuate at my old store because of a really bad gas leak for 3 hours and everyone went to maccas. :D

    I thought in an evacuation you didn't have to close the main doors? When it happened at my old store we didn't. Lol was everyone getting wet in the rain?

    That seriously makes my blood boil, especially coming from that woman. What she is saying is totally incorrect and its pretty much workplace bullying what she does to you and others. She chooses all her employees to be young (even the mature aged adults act like their children no offense) just...

    One of the funniest things happened today in Bakery. Well we have another store doing their production through our Bakery for about 4 months because their store is having a refit. Anyways I was on my lunch break with SSM and we got this call over the PA asking us to return to the Bakery. So...

    I felt a bit bad positive repping that. :D She is going to be so upset with being counselled.

    If you ever get overpaid in the future don't bother saying anything. Unless its for a stupid amount of money which they will find out about.

    Pretty sure as soon as we get rid of our current SM and get our old back (if that ever happens) things should go back to normal. A few staff have been able to get into arguments with him and then he leaves them alone. But whenever he does anything to me I am totally shocked in the moment and...

    Don't worry as soon as our old SM comes back it should be back to normal. Its just cause he brown noses every new manager we get and then the new manager thinks he is part of store management. Its lucky he didn't get duty manager, if it wasn't for a certain STM/SSM objecting he would have been...

    Whats wrong with them getting it out of a tap for free or bringing their own chilled and filtered water to work? Ridiculous policy if its true.

    I found out today that apparently all coles employees at my local store have been told that if they see anyone from woolworths in store they have to let a manager know. A few weeks ago my Bakery DM and homeshop DM got escorted out by the Coles store manager. Only because she was given a list...
