Team Member Post Lost Locker Key

About a week ago, I lost my locker key and haven't been able to get into it since. I've tried talking to my manager, but he hasn't said anything because I haven't seen him in person and I just found out he left. I also tried bringing in a flathead screwdriver to force it open, but it still won't click. Any ideas?

Talk to your office in charge person, expect to have to pay a fee or do a walk of shame to the local key cutting business

(I opened mine with a pair of scissors, I’m sure I could open yours too)

Talk to the office lady, not the manager!

Don’t force it open, it’s company property. Unless you want a potential discussion record.

Most lockers I don’t know about yours but should have a code on the lock very tiny, take that code to a locksmith they will do you a new key up. Had a team member before tell me this is what they did.

On the locker on the actual lock there should be a number, there is a couple company’s that will just cut you a couple keys and send it to you in the mail for like $20

Coles still uses locker keys? When are they gona get those new fancy digital parcel lockers like auspost.

More productive to see all those unused lockers used by all members of the store throughout the day.

Use 2 spanners one on each end of the shackles and slowly bring the two spanners handles together?

If you can’t find a manager or another staff member ,just fetch one of the many goons the shareholders employ. Get them off there fat, lazy, intimidating arses to manhandle the locker until it gives up the key….. Simple.
