turns out it wasnt worth it after all
today I get to go to work in woolworths to find out exactly how long I have before we close. The past few weeks have been bad enough in there with people convinced they know more about our current affairs than we do purely because "it said on gmtv this morning that all the stores are closing!", well if it was on gmtv it must be true then.

I can live with the fact that we could all be out of a job leading up to christmas, its the customers who i have trouble with, some choice comments from the past week:

"it says 50% off EVERYTHING so why is there only 10% off ps3's!"
"it doesnt say 50% off everything, it says UP TO 50% off"
"then it should say that on the posters!"
"it does"
"then it should be bigger"
"the posters six foot tall how big do you need it"


"so when is it you all close?"
"we dont know yet"
"what do you mean you dont know!"
"some stores are closing before others"
"no wonder all of them are closing when the staff give you so much cheek!" (walks away angry leaving me stunned and confused)


"could you not knock off another 10% off these clothes, not like its gonna make much difference now is it!"
"we cant, the discounts come off automatically"
"where is the manager and I can ask him then?"


I have never been a huge fan of woolworths as an employer but i essentially get paid have a laugh with some of my best friends and hope my next job is half as amusing.

plus nothing is funnier than seeing people buy pick n mix, you honestly dont want to know some of the things we find in the bags.

Oh, but I think you'll find that we do want to know...

...
This implies that there's a range of birth control items that you've found therein, and that some are stranger than others.

I'm intrigued.

As forms of birth control go...
I'd actually regard a foam shrimp as being pretty bizarre...

It's a very effective method of contraception.

So why are you going to hell?
Is it because you work at Woolworths?
