Working in the bakery is great - no customer interaction whatsoever haha... Basically it just involves putting all the bread into bags, cakes into those round containers etc and labelling them. Although depending on the size of ur store u have to work pretty fast as there is heaps to do and the...

Hey ekul, sorry for the late reply - haven't logged onto BoS for ages haha It's pretty much exactly as SS-Champ already stated. The "Go-Live" day at our store was the actual day the software was loaded (this happened really early in the morning, before trading), ready for the customers to use...

Hahaha geez what is it with people this days? How about this one - I'm in my uniform, my name badge clipped on my shirt, either running around helping people on self-serve or working behind the service desk doing supervisor duties and yet people STILL ask me if I work here... I dont know how...

Omg you can't be serious... I can't believe the machine actually ate the card! How could the customer have missed the EFT machine anyway? haha I guess it serves them right but I would have pissed myself laughing if that happened to me :P:P

Lmao omg that is unbelievable... I bet she felt like a complete tool when u showed her where the money actually goes haha. Yep we've had people put their notes in the gap in between the screen and scanner. Oh the joys of relying on the general public's intelligence to get them through basic tasks.

Haha yeah that is definately true... I'm dreading my next shift :jedi: Have any of you guys had really stupid customers try to use self-serve and could not help but just stand back and watch them scan their items, while trying really hard to stop laughing?? The other day I was watching this...

Haha yes that woman did sound weird saying that... She also seemed really happy and eager to show us the new and improved system which I also found odd lol :P

Ah so that's what that means.... you learn something new every day huh lolHmm to be honest I really didnt notice if there were any probs with the woolies sausages. I'm going to keep an eye out during my next shift though and see what happened. I though the NCR software was supposed to take the...

Yes... that happens for us all the time as well!! I thought it was only our store as well until you jsut brought it up. Yep the supervisor button doesn't work.... I'm going to try rebooting through the WoWPOS screen on my next shift and see what happens. Btw this may sound like a really stupid...

Hehe thanks.... I was going to tell my CSM what a load of crap I thought it was but she was just as pissed off as me when we had all those problems so I didn't want to make her more angry lol. I will definately bring it up with IT and give them an ear full haha

Exactly my thoughts SS-champ. We should all petition to our area managers and tell them how crap the new system is. I also heard Coles was jumping on the bandwagon and installing self-serves - at least now those people who complain that woolworths is rotten because they are replacing people with...

No probs ekul. At first I thought the new interface would be a good thing, especially after watching the DVD and reading the manuals. But when you actually see a customer trying to navigate their way through the new menu system and get frustrated in the process (eg by having to press Skip when...

Hey guys, Just had a shift as self-serve attendent after the new user interface went live and it was definately a nightmare!!! :burn: Overall I think the new software is reallybuggy and dodgy compared to the NCR software, so I honestly hope they consider switching it back.... For one...

hey guys, Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with knuckleheads giving u shit when u ask for ID at the smoke shop? Today I was manning the only register in our stores allowed to cell ciggs and this young girl comes up to me and asks for a pack of winfield blue. I asked for ID as I...

Why don't you quit from oporto's and try and get a job where your friends are working instead? Maybe even try getting a job at woolies or coles, surely their pay rates would be much better than a fast food restaurant's.

hey eclipse, Trust me, in due time the assessments will come down like a pile of bricks. You are lucky you haven't been given any assessments yet - I'm at unsw and in our first law lecture, we were given our "court observation ssignment" worth 10% and last week (week 2), the notes for our...

I usually sleep about 7hrs weekdays (maybe less if assignments are due the following day or whatever) and as much as possible during weekends.. I love myself and also get really shitty if someone wakes me up when I'm not ready lol. I find it hard a lot of the time to fall asleep too...

I like these ones which I reckon smell pretty good... Ralph Lauren - Polo Black and Polo Double Black Sean Johns - Unforgiveable Jeal Paul Gautier (sp? lol) - The green one (not sure of tha name haha)

Oh right, so you are a fromer USYD student too hey? I've transferred to UNSW after completing 2 years of pharmacy at USYD. Last year I realised the course really wasn't for me and that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life working in some little shop handing out medication all day... In the...

Hey tehazner, likewise! Were you doing that degree at UNSW or did u transfer from another university? At least you were able to get advanced standing for some of your units which is good. I was going to do Science/Law (majoring in computer science or psychology) but decided to go with the...
