can anyone help. How do I get out of check out chik work? What sorta excuse can I give? I will push for a medical certificate when possible. Ive never really done it until this weekend (I do backdock, nightfill and floor work) and I went off at at least 5 customers for being smart asses. F*k I...

Don't misinterpret my post and try building a straw man and saying I'm reading too much into it. You were saying a completely different thing in your post. Try reading it again. If you re-read my post over and over again I am not really talking about managing skills. So maybe its you going...

Really... I do think there's more to it than 'experience'. >experience on how to properly influence staff to do your bidding while upper management take notice. >most woolies managers are not well adept at doing this ^ and some have managing styles that are downright repulsive. >most...

so you just wanna lose 20 kg. No diets are really necessary unless you want 'health'.Just eat less of what you normally would eat. Although caloric restriction proves to be just as beneficial to health. For your height/weight I think your daily caloric intake would be around 1300-1400 kcal...

Thanks for the replies. What payment plans were available from your orthodontist (pay upfront, monthly installment)?

you have to compute your bmr and your caloric expenditure in physical activity (there's lots on the web for free). The basic guideline is a 500 kcal caloric excess combined with your daily energy intake. Anything more and you'll put on fat. Protein should be in the upper limit of 1gram per...

I'm looking at getting braces this year because my teeth have slightly misaligned due to not wearing my retainers. For those of you here that have had braces done, how much did you pay?

yoohooo townie, still waiting...............

do explain this a bit more please, its gotten my curiosity peaked. does this involve ahem effing around?

ok. is there a certain time cycle to how long they stay in a particular store? I've seen some managers stay for long periods in my old store while some leave really quick. In my newly opened store one department has already gone through 3 managers in 2 months, why did this happen? (previous...

Townie, have some more questions: are managers moved around different stores involuntarily (meaning thy cant refuse a move,if it happens)? Why are some managers tried for different positions? One of our previous managers has gone from managing the deli, bakery, perishables and grocery in...

thanks. I think a $4 difference is sh*t when were talking about a bludging 18 year old.

Townie, couple of questions: when extra hours are available who's usually called up first the 18 year old casual or the over 21 permanent part time? On Sundays? I think the wages are equal for both or am I mistaken. (In terms of work ethic said 18 year old is a bludger) When grocery managers...

can you please re-read my post again before saying "socially acceptable". Manager don't like the employee as well. been counseled several times yet they still keep this employee.

I wanna rant about the place where I work (I'm also thinking of transferring for more hours). I do not understand why woolies keeps this certain employee at my workplace. He is really difficult to work with. Very ego driven, self centered and loves to put others down while inflating himself...
