Yes. But that's beside the point. The croissants she was talking about are the ones which have to be cooked. Thus, they are classed as instore.They can be. We have Prob bake crossaints.
Ok cool (re: meat specialist)

I wouldn't say I've been brainwashed. I just have a deep resentment of Woolworths for rejecting me without any reason being given.So are you currently doing the Coles graduate program? how's it going?
I have a friend doing the coles one and would say that you have been brain-washed to think that Coles is so much better than Woolworths.
But fair enough you can't like both companies at the same time!
Like i said upper management stuff.What about things people on checkouts don't notice? Supply chain logistics etc (where Woolworths has a clear advantage)?
What about food safety? in perish we do temp checks and weights and measures, l/life do weights and measures also. but yes i do know what you were getting at fresh food quality is harder to maintain and a lot stricter and stock is harder to source, thus the need for specialists.you can't quality check a box of ricebubbles now, can you?
Corporate HR are the ones that do the grad program, totally different to area management who I found to be totally unhelpful when working in stores.Grad positions are HIGHLY competitive. All the grads started yesterday for this year.(yesterday was first day so site/grad induction). today was their first day actually working.I wouldn't say it was harder from what I have heard, I would say WoW HR are just incompetent. In fact I assume it was a HR error that they rejected me early because they practically begged me to stay for the resulting nine months, guaranteeing me a job in this or that. But when push came to shove they couldn't even table an offer.
If you want to do a grad program, I would seriously not choose WoW. They are a market leader who will be under immense pressure in two years (where can they go from here? Only down) and I just don't rate their culture. But I am slightly biased towards Coles these days given the way WoW treated me.
So as a system operator you know that you cant see cost price of the product suppliers reduce the size of the product instead of increasing the cost price. I don't want to be rude but its not fair to the supplier or woolworths to make a statement like that without knowing the real situation. I deal with pricing everyday of the week.Very true. Being an ex-systems operator I'd be disgusted when the supplier would downsize but Woolworths pricing wouldn't. But then that's how you become a big ass company....who doesn't pay overtime.:mad1:
I decided to take a screenshot a week back, and only just got around to scanning itAlso
I took a screenshot of the desktop of one of our workstations earlier, does this look like the ones over there?
<NZ desktop>
You can click on it to enlargeIt's the imageshack thumbnail, kinda hard to compare when it's 1/8th the size lol. Though why do you blur the system information? Aren't all the Woolworths computers running off the intranet and completely shut off from the outside world?
I'd imagine quality checks would apply to perishables too, though, but pretty much agree with all thisI think there is a specialist for each fresh food department. The area manager I suppose is the 'specialist' for longlife & perishables since:
1/ Products in longlife and perishables are sourced from one location per product, with fresh food, there are a variety of places that things can be sourced from.
2/ Presentation: You gotta face longlife and perishables, and that is about all, along with following planograms
with fresh food depts, there are different facings for freshness etc. and quality checks, you can't quality check a box of ricebubbles now, can you?
SSS is a little different... you gotta learn to face your safe.. I mean... well, you know what an SSS does
Ah I went to look for the "Like" button, but goldmambo rep will have to suffice. Damn facebook infiltrating my brain!On another note, my pending unemplyment is putting my mind at ease; I'm virtually stress free at work now!!
2 more shifts to go!
What did you order? Anything that they are low on stock on they're saying around March.Just put my order in for 4 shirts, any idea how long they've been taking recently?
