Finally have a day off tomorrow! Worked 42 hours/6 days last week and so over it. Yay for casual rates and my 18th birthday payrise later this week. Hopefully they payout all my overtime, but I reakon they will try and screw me over like usual.

Funny quote of the day: (we were talking about this guy who had been produce manager for about 15 years and they finally moved him to bakery specialist simply because they needed a spot for him somewhere higher up) Bakery manager: "In woolworths its not what you know, its who you sleep with"...

Cheer up princess i'm in at 7am tomorrow too. :p

But no more chats in cash office anymore. :(

Which state are you in? Because the pay rates are different in each state under the EBA. But expect to start on around $9/hour for probation. Then after your probation period is over it will go up to around $10.50/hour. They pay by bank deposit weekly and should provide a payslip the next day.

Once I did 6am-8pm and it was absolute hell. I'm non-salaried and I was on my own for most of the day in Bakery on a public holiday. They paid it out no questions asked, big money. :D

I have supervisor privileges under the title service cashier instead of service supervisor. I don't really need them since I work in Bakery now but its nice being able to fix problems without needing a supervisor whenever I serve in express. Plus the quantity button is handy. Coming back off my...

Generally working two departments is when they don't have enough staff to cope or they need someone extra to fill in. So in my experience its never a staff member going up to a manager and asking to be able to work in two departments its usually the other way around.

I'm operator 87. :)

Do you remember the last time Woolworths staff online were caught up in an online scandal? It was on that myspace Woolworths discussion board where staff were bitching about customers and it ended up in the newspapers. I don't know if anyone was sacked though.

Bakery because you get to eat food.

10.0 is WOWPOS update. Back office/RF gun/computers is ISIS. 10.0 is out and ISIS is currently being used at 2 stores only (could be a few more now though).

Babikakez would agree to anything, of course she did. :D

Someone told me that someone at our store got fired for eating part of a lettuce a few years ago. They probably wanted to sack him anyway though and that was just the excuse to do it.

This is why they are pressing credit on a debit account: "The added security of ANZ Falcon™ fraud monitoring - when using your ANZ Access Visa Debit card for ATM or EFTPOS transactions, select the 'credit' button to activate ANZ Falcon™, which monitors your transactions for suspicious activity...

Thats exactly why I voted no. The way it was marketed to people was very clever as well. Most people just don't know that the national payrates are different despite a national agreement. The unions in each state have let us down.

Biggest thing happened today. Well I walked out of the freezer after spending about 30 mins in it and then brought all my boxes of frozen products to Bakery and then walked back to the freezer to hang my coat up. So I hang my coat up, stand there for a few seconds and then walk into backdock...

I have to leave work early on Saturday cause I have Kates party. :(

It will actually save the company lots of money. When credit is pressed it goes through the visa/mastercard network. When sav/chq is pressed it goes through the eftpos network. The visa/mastercard network costs the company for every transaction, some places charge a credit card surcharge to...

Did he really come up to you and get you in trouble cause of me? As if it was your fault I took a 25 minute tea break. :p Pretty funny though when he got pissed off at me all serious interrogating me: "Have you been with Babikakez for her whole lunchbreak?" "No" "Willing to bet your job on it?"...
