I really like the music and stuff they play. There are so many songs on it I like,

Chewing Gum is the best one!LOL.

I asked a supervisor where we get the music from and she said it's a foxtel chanel. If you had foxtel would you beable to get it?

Does anyone know all about that Woolies music stuff?

THANKYOU...

I still want kids, I just plan to actually discipline them, unlike the parents who come into Big W.

Seriously, if I did half the stuff those kids get away with (eg riding those little plastic tricycles that we sell around the store, while their parents just stadn by and ignore them) when I was a kid, I would have been smacked right in the middle of the shop. I plan to do the same to my kids.

Yeah wtf is with parents these days. No wonder all the younger kids these days are rude shits.

If my kid pulled some of the shit ive seen they'd get a smacking of epic proportions

from what i worked out its currently ~$16.20 for a 19 year old.... In July it goes up to ~$16.50

thats grade 2 of course....

The pay rates are in the agreement on page 24.... just divide by 38 (hours per week) then 80% of that total is the PPT wage for a 19 year old then add 20% for casual loading....

Its only a rare occurrence that we have to do them. At the moment, we're doing them (probably) because we have a new service manager and she is doing EVERYTHING by the book. Kind of annoying because supervisors are so busy with snaps etc to get anything else done, but on the upside everything is really organised (so no 4pm lunchbreaks on a 10-6 day anymore!)
