They're paid a minimum wage for you to bring a product to a register and for them to scan it.


Oh yeah, and typically they're more into Justin Beiber than Orion Pax.

That may be so dude, but aren't they also trained to get someone who does know what they're talking about if they don't?
If not then Australian retail is really taking a nose dive. :(

It's a hit and miss at TRU Gepps X. Sometimes you get some really nice people that will do everything right and sometimes you get the oddball that's very vague and doesn't know what you're talking about. As for Sefton, I can't judge as I don't go there much.

I went to TRU TTP on Thursday and the couple of blokes working there were talking about how they thought some customer was stupid and made fun of them (even swore about them). I know that sometimes maybe the customer is in the wrong, but to badmouth them out in the open in the presence of other customers is clearly unprofessional. I don't know how such rude people get these jobs in the first place...

Speaking of TRU I went to the Rundle Mall TRU today and this elderly customer was berating a group of employees for not listening to him when he called for help and instead were having (in the customer's words) a 'social party' :D:D

Why is there no Kmart in the city? If there can be a Big W and a Target, they can have a Kmart.

Random fact - I heard somewhere (can't recall where) but if a shopping centre has a Big W, there generally won't be a Kmart and vice versa. Not sure why but I have noticed that myself.
