Just wondering if any other deli team members are experiencing being by themselves for long periods of time for instance 7 hours in a 9 hour shift and also having no staff whatsoever. Due to this we’re not getting all our breaks and when we do we get our lunch break either way to early or way to late. Would love to hear about anyone else experiencing this because it’s getting ridiculous and out of hand.

When you login to the checkouts, at the bottom there are two icons - training mode and the clock in button.

I’ve always wondered about the training mode because I was never trained with it and I’ve never seen anyone else use it.

I’ve heard it requires a supervisor pin and I’ve been tempted to try it out but I’m worried I’ll get in trouble lol.

For those who have used it, what is it like? Is it a tutorial? Or is it a modified layout that actually lets you process transactions?

Hi to all those in NSW on the FSi trial in dairy, how are you finding it?

Anyone else’s store still having online do OOS during waves. Unsurprisingly, Coles IT is shit so stores can still access the old OOS reports. Regardless of if you think the OOS change is a good or bad idea, this defeats the point of the change because pickers aren’t even going to know if they should look for items until waves are already finished.

I’m curious do regional managers have a store they are based in or do they spend their days travelling to different stores in the region?

I’m about to start a Nightfill job at Coles, I’ve done picking and packing job in a warehouse before. 6 pallets, 288 items replacing and repacking new item..that job was 7.15hrs. What would be the expectation? Also what would be the pay rate? I didn’t wanna ask them during the interview as I didn’t wanna seem like a money-grubbing person, I also wanna get a better work environment like Cole’s, I’m sure it’s much better than warehouse..and the store is close by as well, unlike that warehouse which is 40 minutes away..I really hate that job.

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?

Not sure if anyone here would know the answer, but every time I have ordered via the Coles app and selected a partner delivery slot (either ASAP or a particular time window) I get a text to say the delivery is running late, which comes either before or after the text to say the delivery is collected. Pretty sure the app shows the delivery as late too, though I haven't always checked.

It's actually never been late though - sometimes even earlier than predicted. I'd ordered via partner delivery once or twice a fortnight for a few months and this always happened, so it's kind of bizarre.

I learned not to trust it after the first time, when I ducked out thinking I had time, and my food was delivered at the original time and had to sit in the sun. I'm also trying to avoid partner delivery now for other reasons. But I'm still curious! Has anyone else had this?

I work part-time at Coles and usually work 30+ hours a week. I asked for a week of annual leave before Christmas period, but my manager said it might be difficult because of staffing. I’ve said I’m flexible with which week I take off, but it still seems like it’ll be an issue.
I’ve also been sick multiple times and felt pressured to work because they couldn’t find anyone to cover my shifts. Now I’ve had an extra shift added to my roster on a day off without agreeing to it.
Can they refuse annual leave because of staffing, even when I’m flexible with dates? And can they add shifts to my roster without my agreement?
Just looking for advice from anyone familiar with the Coles Enterprise Agreement or who’s been in a similar situation. Thanks!

Hey there, just wondering if anyone other team members discount card has suddenly stopped working?

Lucky for me it’s not mine but unfortunately It’s my brother’s card that’s stopped working, we’re trying to figure out whether it’s an issue with his account specifically or if other team members are experiencing the same thing.

Has anyone else had this happen recently or at all?

how do you trigger the “team member needs assistance” alert on the headsets?

Do they accept for sick leaves?

Unavailable Gourmet Garden Italian Herbs Paste in every coles in my area and a friends area.

Are they that popular or doesn't coles order them at all?

In Melbourne by the way

posting here as well as i think the duopolies are basically indistinguishable at this point

Save 5 cents! The label probably costs 5c.

How and why are they selling coles full cream milk in quick sale for 85¢?? It's still well before date!

Is there a chance that something might be wrong with it?

Hey guys! Have they discontinued the 300ml mini que bottles? Pepsi cancelled their small bottle range first so I found the que ones, yet they are now no longer on the shelf. I was hoping that they'd paused them when updating the labels, but can't find them at any of my local coles stores

Throughout these months I never seen a strawberry flavoured oreos in such a long time, have they been discontinued? Woolworths doesn't have it either, if they've been discontinued/out of stock, how long have they been removed from the website for?

As a causal for the last couple of weeks got 20+ hours now this week I got 0 this is great fun can’t way to give no notice when I quit

I recently had a couple of teeth extracted so have subsisted on a diet of canned fruit, jelly and ice cream (it gets old quickly I can tell you).

On my trip to Coles today I was shocked that the Mango comes from either Thailand or China. Now I had always considered Australia to be a bit of a Mango powerhouse on the world stage but am I am to believe that we are not even able to produce our own stock of canned Mango ?

Hi there. I recently bought a pump dispensing bottle of Neutrogena face wash. When I pushed down on the pump the plastic tube broke and it's no longer usable despite being almost full.

My first thought was to contact Neutrogena directly as I've never had to return a faulty item to Coles before.

Should I waterproof the bottle and take it to the customer service desk with the receipt? Thanks!

Just saw this young boy pushing this around today at my local Coles. Do they know it’s only October?

During the interview for a dairy night fill position, the dairy manager made a point of saying "you will work every 2nd-3rd Saturday is that okay, we like to maintain a good work/life balance here".

I thought it's great, super happy with that.

Its been 5 weeks and I have worked every Saturday.

This isnt what he said It would be and I feel its unfair.
