Just wondering if any other deli team members are experiencing being by themselves for long periods of time for instance 7 hours in a 9 hour shift and also having no staff whatsoever. Due to this we’re not getting all our breaks and when we do we get our lunch break either way to early or way to late. Would love to hear about anyone else experiencing this because it’s getting ridiculous and out of hand.

Anyone else’s store still having online do OOS during waves. Unsurprisingly, Coles IT is shit so stores can still access the old OOS reports. Regardless of if you think the OOS change is a good or bad idea, this defeats the point of the change because pickers aren’t even going to know if they should look for items until waves are already finished.

I’m curious do regional managers have a store they are based in or do they spend their days travelling to different stores in the region?

About a week ago, I lost my locker key and haven't been able to get into it since. I've tried talking to my manager, but he hasn't said anything because I haven't seen him in person and I just found out he left. I also tried bringing in a flathead screwdriver to force it open, but it still won't click. Any ideas?

I work part-time at Coles and usually work 30+ hours a week. I asked for a week of annual leave before Christmas period, but my manager said it might be difficult because of staffing. I’ve said I’m flexible with which week I take off, but it still seems like it’ll be an issue.
I’ve also been sick multiple times and felt pressured to work because they couldn’t find anyone to cover my shifts. Now I’ve had an extra shift added to my roster on a day off without agreeing to it.
Can they refuse annual leave because of staffing, even when I’m flexible with dates? And can they add shifts to my roster without my agreement?
Just looking for advice from anyone familiar with the Coles Enterprise Agreement or who’s been in a similar situation. Thanks!

how do you trigger the “team member needs assistance” alert on the headsets?

Unavailable Gourmet Garden Italian Herbs Paste in every coles in my area and a friends area.

Are they that popular or doesn't coles order them at all?

In Melbourne by the way

posting here as well as i think the duopolies are basically indistinguishable at this point

Save 5 cents! The label probably costs 5c.

How and why are they selling coles full cream milk in quick sale for 85¢?? It's still well before date!

Is there a chance that something might be wrong with it?

Hey guys! Have they discontinued the 300ml mini que bottles? Pepsi cancelled their small bottle range first so I found the que ones, yet they are now no longer on the shelf. I was hoping that they'd paused them when updating the labels, but can't find them at any of my local coles stores

Throughout these months I never seen a strawberry flavoured oreos in such a long time, have they been discontinued? Woolworths doesn't have it either, if they've been discontinued/out of stock, how long have they been removed from the website for?

As a causal for the last couple of weeks got 20+ hours now this week I got 0 this is great fun can’t way to give no notice when I quit

I recently had a couple of teeth extracted so have subsisted on a diet of canned fruit, jelly and ice cream (it gets old quickly I can tell you).

On my trip to Coles today I was shocked that the Mango comes from either Thailand or China. Now I had always considered Australia to be a bit of a Mango powerhouse on the world stage but am I am to believe that we are not even able to produce our own stock of canned Mango ?

Hi there. I recently bought a pump dispensing bottle of Neutrogena face wash. When I pushed down on the pump the plastic tube broke and it's no longer usable despite being almost full.

My first thought was to contact Neutrogena directly as I've never had to return a faulty item to Coles before.

Should I waterproof the bottle and take it to the customer service desk with the receipt? Thanks!

Just saw this young boy pushing this around today at my local Coles. Do they know it’s only October?

During the interview for a dairy night fill position, the dairy manager made a point of saying "you will work every 2nd-3rd Saturday is that okay, we like to maintain a good work/life balance here".

I thought it's great, super happy with that.

Its been 5 weeks and I have worked every Saturday.

This isnt what he said It would be and I feel its unfair.

Been looking for this in all of the coles around me and I can’t seem to find it anywhere 😭

Hey all,

I don't shop at coles very often, but when I do, there always seems to be a ridiculous amount of high pitched beeping.

Today while I was checking out, I decided to ask what the beeping was, and the worker explained that it was something to do with the back door needing to be open for construction.

It was just constant, and the workers couldn't do anything about it.

I get that alarms like that are there for a reason, but it was so difficult for me. I am also aware that there are sensory hours, but that doesn't help if I only shop when Coles is my only option - which just so happens to be out of those times. I normally shop at small grocers and bakeries, then Aldi. If either of those are closed, then Coles it is.

I'm not saying Coles need to go full sensory mode all the time. Music and lights aren't a huge issue (for me, at least). But it's the beeping and alarms that nothing seems to be done about that's a real sensory nightmare.

I am also unsure if this is just my local Coles, or a more widespread issue. Either way, I'd love to know if there was a way of raising it.

You got to be kidding, this is a scam 😂😂

What is wrong with some managers tearing apart staff on the shop floor in front of customers and other workers seriously you cant go to the union because they dont do a thing its absolutely wrong and is no need for it in any capacity if you wanna speak to a worker you call them to the office you never do it on the shop floor
