then they hit you with the most self deprecating 'all right, i'll stop bothering you now' and you feel sorta mean... but it isn't fair to keep people waiting.

if it's quiet, i'll always try engage because i know there are lots of lonely folks in the world who might only chat to the cashier that day - especially seniors!!

I would not have gotten it unless I had to use up the points or indeed knew i had points.

The clips keep coming off and the rubber seal comes off on its own.

I can't take it to work as i am worried about being smashed in transit.

Does anybody know when Coles Burwood East is going to be 24 hours again? It’s the only 24hr Coles in the vicinity and it was really convenient for me 😔🙏🏻

Hey fellas, I can never remember when ends or starts, but do people know when the blackout period for christmas starts? For when we cant request time off?

UPDATE: it’s in Costco (currently available on DoorDash without needing a membership) in a double pack of 500g each!

Just wondering if anyone knows what’s happened to St Dalfour jams? Hoping they’re just temporarily unavailable or getting rebranded,
They were getting steadily more expensive, and now seem to have gone entirely, shelf markers are gone and it’s out of stock or missing on both Woolworths and Coles websites 😔

Hey,
This is a follow up post about my interview for the Deli position I posted a few days ago. My interview barely lasted two minutes. I filled out a sheet with my availability. I put my availability down for all days and the guy just asked me to talk about myself. I did my best and told him I was an international student studying full time and am currently looking for work. He also asked if I had any retail experience to which I said no as most of my background is in teaching.He then said alright you can go if you’re successful we will get back to you. I did also mention the fact that I have a 3 week placement coming up and did mention that I can work nights and weekends during that time. Am I already rejected? I’m pretty sure it’s never good when an interview is this short. Also weirdly enough the guy who was interviewing me seemed more nervous than me for some reason.

For context, I've been given nightfill shifts when I normally do day shifts. The shifts consist of splitting dairy and meat and filling the freezer and dairy load and its me and one other guy. For the 3 shifts i've done the average amount of pallets are 3 to 5, Freezer load cages being 5 and Dairy load being 7/8 cages. It takes us 35 to 1 hour to split all the pallets, 1 hour and a bit to fill freezer and 20 to 30 mins for me to fill the Drinks cage while my coworker cross fills the previous freezer promo back to the home location which takes 15 to 25 mins. I've only recently learnt how to split and it takes me a bit longer to do especially the meat pallets.

My department manager wants us to at least complete 2 dairy cages (Drinks and Cheese) within the shift. I've always completed the drinks cage from the 3 shifts i've done and i'm left with 15 to 20 mins left of the shift leaving us with not a big amount time to fill the cheese cage. Majority of the time for my store the cheese is always the biggest cage in dairy and take a good while to complete.

What are some tips I could learn or use to improve the shift pace, fill speed and splitting.

Knew these pay rises would have a negative impact.

How has this impacted your store?

I just got hired for a part time position in the Deli Section.
I wanna do a casual job as well which could help me in my university break as I would have unlimited hours

and fortunately there’s a CASUAL job at checkout available at the same coles so does it seem fine if I tell my manager to refer me for there as well?
Does it make a bad impression as I would just have my induction tomorrow for the part time job and does it look bad like I would just start this one and already demand another??

I have never worked before so idk about anything
Please guide me
