As a casual I'm sure you don't need a doctors certificate because you don't accumulate sick days, unlike a contracted employee - aka: part-time, fulltime, salary. However I would suggest calling them the day before if you know you won't be in the next day. The more notice management gets the...

Try having to be at an upgrade at 1:30am. That's the time the WA stores had to be in. I used to hate upgrades with a passion. That's one of the many reasons I left systems. Not only having to get up SO damn early but also because our store isn't in a very nice town as far as late night...

Very true. Being an ex-systems operator I'd be disgusted when the supplier would downsize but Woolworths pricing wouldn't. But then that's how you become a big ass company....who doesn't pay overtime.:mad1:

I tell customers that we don't do forced markdowns due to Woolworths policy (which is true). It usually shuts them up ASAP. I have noticed with the RTC labels, they won't go through the scanners at the checkouts any way up like a regular bar code. I have to hold them up to the scanner the...

Unfortunately negative counts are somewhat common where I work only due to the drivers now and then accidentally off loading a pallet of longlife at a store to the south of us (whom shall remain nameless). We call and ask, "did you get a pallet of ours?". And the answer is always, "Nope...

When you post the load you are accepting the load into the system that day and your stock counts will be available in the system straight away. If you don't post the load it will download into the system over night and your stock counts will be in the system the next day. All loads get...

Do any of you part-timers or full-timers get paid OT? Or do you have to take time off in lieu?

I'm glad I got out of systems when I did then! ;) Our UPS only runs the registers. We have a generator that, I swear, is from WW2. It's loud and shudders violently when it gets turned off. It only runs the back dock fridges, freezers and emergency lighting in the store and offices. When...

Yeah, 20 - 30 minutes and you should get the gist of it. It's the odd stuff that crops up now and then that will throw you. Even now, being on checkout periodically for the past 3 years, I still have to call for the supervisor for some stuff. The main points are try not to double scan the...

I everyone! :wave: I'm new here but I've been lurking for a few months. I work at a Woolworths located in a small north-west town called Wickham. You might be lucky to find it on the map, but if you can't it's approx. 40kms north of Karratha (WA) and 1700kms north of Perth. It's a very small...
