seems they've probably decided that they will put you on PPT, but havent actually made that official yet to capitalise on casual availibililty over X-mas/NYE, untill you sign a sheet with your roster, your not technically PPT, unless they want you to be, if that makes sense....once u sign the roster sheet, then there's no disputing your status.

Ergh, young kids annoy the hell out of me.
Ours complain that they dont get enough hours, and then call in sick every weekend hungover. Wonder why you dont get offered more than 4 hours a week? There are perhaps 4 or 5 who don't, the rest are unreliable and suck.

*end rant*

I completely agree.

ur fucked. Last year on xmas eve, it was busy as hell, and the customers kept on coming until 12 at night. But thankfully there were like 10 registers open which kinda helped get rid of the customers.

Do you want to try this in my store?

 

[shinji]

I would.

 

[rasengan90]

Working cash office 10 hours on Chtistmas eve, that is going to be pretty damn busy.

 

[mitch179]

I think I'd rather work cash office on a day like Christmas Eve, rather than registers, or anywhere else in the store. No customers working in cash office

 

[Roga]

I'm in longlife....

Tuesday 10am-7pm
Wednesday 10am-7pm

Saturday 10am-6pm
Sunday 12pm-6pm

Not looking forward to Xmas eve, can't move the cages through the aisles!

 

[nicollette]

oh, im trying to convince the manager to make me a self-serve supervisor- what dont you like about it???

It requires alot of patience on my part, it really is mind-boggling how stupid some people can be when trying to use a self-serve checkout and then they get all shitty at me when I'm trying to help them. Its not that hard to wait till the light turns green, remove your bag, wait a tad then keep scanning your shit you dumbfucks. Then when I'll try explain to them why the machine is going spaz, they think I'm being condescending and won't accept my help, which means they continue not using it properly which aggravates them further, then usually start kicking the machine, storm off and leave there items on the checkouts.

The nerve of some people I swear, but you do get those really lovely people who are willing and grateful to be helped and ironically those people are usually the ones who get out quicker than the angry, impatient ones. Thats what I don't like about it, I'd much rather registers to it anyday
