awesome, on my first shift actually one guy had it so i just scanned it and cancelled the error and pretended it worked.
he bought it.
Everything else is easy as piss. Except when you run out of change. That sucks

What woolies do have is everyday rewards cards, although I'm not sure if they're in all areas yet. What they do is store the customers petrol vouchers all on one card. So customers might present those, in which case you just scan the barcode on the back.

lol yeah i know how u feel.Peartie said:
i work in deli .. and since im usually the only guy opening in the mornings. i have to get the chicken load. which is on saturdays (the day that i work) usually 2 palettes (3 if im unlucky) and then unload all of that; onto the red trolley
and then pack it onto the shelves.
and then what makes matters even more fan-freaking-tastic is when the boxes break and the boxes for on the floor (i've had it fall on me once before .. when i was supporting it and another person was pushing ... was about 7 boxes of chicken .. >< an dthen the chicken blood started to leak through and i was like "EWWWWW .. imgonna smell like chicken blood T__T"
seriously. getting chicken blood on ur shirt is annoying. getting chicken blood DOWN your shirt is just horrible.
and im starting to hate my manager. manipulating bitch she is. she keeps on changing my fkkin contract hours. i mean . .wtffff!?
i stlil haven't signed my 'new' contract .. but if she wants me to close the deli on sunday nights forget it.. im not gonna sign it >:/
i need a new job. -sigh-

My store does but sometimes, I don't know what I'm supposed to say. I'm still new so I'm still getting used to everything else lol so I don't ask every single customer who buys over $30 lol.
Can anyone working in Woolies tell me what I'm supposed to say?

From what I've read on the Everyday Rewards website, that seems to be the case. It's just that the card replaces the fuel voucher on your receipt (saving paper?) and that you may get a chance to win $150 Wish Gift Card. To me...I don't wanna see the gift card because that'll mean one more thing that I will have to handle at the checkout! =p
I don't ask most people anyway. I only ask when I remember.
The card doesn't have a very attractive offer. I mean, with Flybuys, you accumulate points and you can get vouchers off it. With this, you can't. =p

/\ gah I'm jealous.
People sometimes pass me their fly buys card and I look at them, they look at me, then I say "we don't do flybuys". First time someone did it I didn't look at it, just thought they were lazy not swiping their credit card, so I swiped it, nothing happened, then I realised what it was lol idiottt.
Losing my patience so much with customers lately. Like last night, was bagging a register. The register next to me was still open with 3 trolleys back. A lady comes up to the register and is about to put her stuff up. At the end of the conveyor belt is a closed sign. The register light is off. The cash draw is clearly on the conveyor belt being emptied. There is people waiting in other queues. I couldn't believe she was so blind so I snap "This register is closed". Apparently she gave me a massive glare.

In one of the NATCOMS they had a thing on self serve:
700 Self Serve checkouts to be installed within a couple of years.
EVERY new and refurbished store will recieve them and since every store is progressively getting them (the 2010 look) and from what i can understand Woolworths wants every single store in the country with the 2010 look by the end of 2010 so that the image is standard.
So will be interesting, i would say most big sales stores will get them and smaller stores wont.

yeah, we're too small to fit one in at current, unless they reduced the number of registers to the number we actually use, even then u could probably only get to self-serve checkouts in, which isnt really worth it

well it appears to customers that way but the actual reason is so they can track peoples shopping and get the demographics of their customers- hence having to register them etc. They have done it for ages with our staff discount cards but then some creative genious came up with a way to track customers lol! in all honesty is does kinda make having to keep the paper vouchers easier- but this isnt the real reason lol. But seriiously i am absolutely sick of explaining the whole system to every bloody customer that comes through! but thats just me...CieL said:

Is it true that as part time you must do 10 hours minimum per week?
watatank
=)
12 minimum.
no
for Part Time and Full time it is now a minimum of 40 hours in a 4 week cycle (10 hours a week) - its with the new contract.....
and a minimum engagement of 3 hours (casuals included) and maximum of 9(?) hours per day, up to one 11 hour day per week by mutual consent or something random like that anyway!
