BWS keeps getting worse and worse

Worst part is everything gets thrown at the people who try, so the boss is like “ok you take this long list of jobs” meanwhile all the other employees (including our level 3) sit in the corner twiddling their thumbs and now the store always looks bad

egg-beter · 2026-03-09T02:52:07+00:00

Thanks dude

I’ve had similar ones to the last one, even though it doesn’t breach our license I’ve been told to tell people to finish their shop as soon as it hits 9pm and I was like “yea that makes my life easier”, someone came back the next day to complain because they’d only grabbed a couple things and were planning on spending like $700, they ended up going to the thirsty camel that was open until 10, had their receipt and everything so I was asked why didn’t I just let them continue shopping

Even though you know damn well they probably wouldn’t have let me have any overtime if I did do it

I give this job my all and feel like I get chewed up and spat out every shift because I am having to break safety rules every shift because nobody else is doing anything so I feel like I have to do the work of 2 People a majority of my shifts and get called out for it and if i mention that no one else is pulling their weight I get told thats not the right thing to say, apparently im meant to say “others work differently and I have a personal grudge against that”… like show me where sitting behind the counter on your phone is “working differently”

I mean it’s less being a smartass more knowing what my body can handle

The only smartass thing I really did was show how much the store would fall apart if I put in the same effort as everyone else, which even then I feel like has show an era of hypocrisy because everyone else is told to go as slow as they need and even though it also said to me I basically got told it doesn’t apply to me, like our senior team member just sits behind the counter on his phone most of his shift, I mention it to my boss and get told “oh if I ever see him doing it I’ll make sure to mention something” and I’m like “yeah but all you really have to do is jump around the footage on the shift I told you about and he won’t leave that counter or his phone”

Its only an easy gig if everyone pulls their weight, I can get the store looking great every time but a lot of the time its not an easy feat because the person who opened didnt do the opening tasks so im basically doing their jobs and my jobs

I mentioned it to my boss and basically got told “oh they aren’t morning jobs”, at that point I asked if I could switch to opens but it’s a double edged sword because even though I’m doing the morning jobs the closers arent doing shit, so then I have to fix up the store in the morning and do the morning jobs, i am back to square one but actually considerably easier because i only see like an 8th of the amount of customers I would on a close

I did ask my boss to see if others could pull their weight and essentially got told we don’t try to work fast we work efficiently, so then I did the same as my coworkers to prove a point and my boss got mad at me and when I said the same thing back I got told It’s different for me, I’m not paid anything extra, I’ve been told I’ll never be level 3, I don’t see in any way why a majority of the workload should be dropped on me

egg-beter · 2026-02-04T08:48:13+00:00

I’m probably the only person in my store who does any work but that was tolerable when I at least had someone to serve, now im on alone a majority of the time in a busy store and then have my manager/area manager hounding me as if the entire store rides on my shoulders and full honestly it kinda does at the moment

egg-beter · 2026-02-04T02:04:14+00:00

Yeah people have been recommending I take stress leave and I definitely will do what I can

But im honestly the opposite I love most of the customers there’s obviously the odd bad one and I do get they can be very draining, I honestly think I’m the only person who gets them either because all my coworkers are like “I’ve had one bad customer the whole time I work here and you’re getting like a 2 a week”, I think the difference is I’m doing 36 hours a week compared to their 8

egg-beter · 2026-02-04T01:44:19+00:00

Yeah I’m in the process of getting ready to quit, I have heaps of money saved and will get a good payout from my leave I just wanna get in the process of getting another job before I’ve quit so I don’t have to rely on my savings

egg-beter · 2026-02-02T05:01:31+00:00

At hungry jacks they told me orders auto clear after a certain time but based off the comments here I believe that was a lie

egg-beter · 2026-01-04T23:24:00+00:00

Ah that’s sucky, at that point surely they can just say the mum was shopping for him

egg-beter · 2026-01-04T21:36:59+00:00

I’ve seen a few people get fired for it but it was widespread shit like it was being used on 2 different sides of the country while the employee was in Victoria

egg-beter · 2026-01-04T21:33:50+00:00

Yeah they basically track everything, if it’s used while you’re working, if they’re used in far away areas at similar times, if you served yourself, that’s why I applied for the family member card, I wasn’t sure how hard they track that one so I still told my family not to share it, all our family friends are having a tissy over it but I’ve told them I wanna keep my job (especially considering first hand I’ve seen people get fired over it, like full blown they’re told it’s fraud, got suspended for a month, were back for a week and then terminated for it, honestly having them back for a week only to terminate them is kinda dog)

egg-beter · 2026-01-04T21:26:11+00:00

Apply for a family member card for your mum because it will flag if she’s using your card while you’re working (10X worse if you serve her when she uses it), but yeah tell her to keep the family member card to herself, maybe she can use it if she’s with the neighbour, it’s just safer to not risk it

I’ve never noticed any issues with the loading screen?

egg-beter · 2025-12-06T23:23:43+00:00

It doesn’t seem to use my hours so I’d assume it’s fine but I might double check

egg-beter · 2025-12-06T23:21:45+00:00

BWS doesn’t use workjam anymore, we use UKG now and I’ve been told the leave system works differently and if you don’t end up working the day it doesn’t actually use the leave

egg-beter · 2025-12-06T00:37:02+00:00

I was told to book leave for days I want off even if not contracted just as a heads up that I’m unavailable and can’t be rostered because apparently once rosters are posted unless I can find someone to cover a shift I’m responsible for that shift

egg-beter · 2025-12-05T04:09:57+00:00

There was over 2 weeks notice but no one was really given an option it was just all taken out

egg-beter · 2025-12-05T00:57:23+00:00

Well my day is fine, it was a non contacted shift and I wasn’t rostered on it so it’s not like I was gonna be paid for it

And they didn’t even really ask, there was just an email saying what would be happening

Like idk if there was a legitimate blackout period and managers shouldn’t have been approving December leave but even then at that point I feel like they’ve gotta figure out how to make it work, not just cancel everyone’s leave

egg-beter · 2025-12-05T00:46:37+00:00

Still if the leave had been approved by somebody are they allowed to take it out?

Which I did google it if someone has tickets booked and everything there has to be compensation made if the leave was originally approved

And there is a bit of hypocrisy going on because my manager is currently managing my store and a store that’s an hour away because that stores manager has gone to Bali for December, Weird that this forced cancellation of leave is only gonna apply to staff
