There is a "note reader" (safe) that you have instructions to automatically drop every $50 or $100 note you receive into it. You aren't meant to carry these notes in your till, some CSRs do if they get lazy. The maximum allowed float size is approx. $200 (often +/- 10% depending what you end the shift on) REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OF THE STORE. When you start your shift and you aren't meant to keep much more in your till whilst on your shift. I won't say how much for obvious reasons. If you run out of notes, there is a time delay system to access coins and small notes ($10 and $5 notes). I won't go into the details again. Anyway back to the OP - mate, get over it. It's a servo not a bank and no CSRs like keeping much in the till after hours (or even daytime hours) as the RAMs can pop in for random audits. So many customers use to ask for ridiculous amounts of cash out and then got prissy because I told them to use the ATM because I had none in the till but why would I risk my job (have since quit many years ago) so I can give you cash out? Also have you wondered why at the Coles supermarkets the pinpad even prompts you for cash out but at Coles Express (Shell) it doesn't? Obvious reasons again. One more thing, i'd say more like only 1/4 of customers pay cash and that's based on near 4 years of experience when I worked there while I was at uni and I worked at many different sites. Ahhh those were the days...*sits back in rocking chair* Last edited by Alister; 06-10-2012 at 11:49 PM. |

Thread dig again but good point regarding service, I remember the days when I was a small kid but could you expect to do it now?
Big sites serve between 2500 - 3500 customers a day (work that out to the hour and then think about peak hour times and how long it takes customers to fill up and get out etc) and even small dingy ones serve 1000 - 1200 on busier days. No way you could keep up with drive way service. Maybe if you owned an independent with hardly any customers but anywhere with shopper dockets get reemed. I remember working the 4pm-12pm at a major site and serving between those hours 100 - 150 customers an hour and then someone coming in the ask me to fill their tank for them with 10 people waiting in line and me being the only one on duty ![]() |

One servo in the country had the whole family out and I wondered why until I came back from paying, got in and found the two buxom low-cut daughters leaning forward over the bonnet cleaning the windscreen. My wife got the benefit of the show, I only got the end. Next time I'm sending her to pay! ![]() |

Most servos here haven't done cash out for years.

(if the profitability of ATM fleets from existing players like Customers Limited is anything to go by) |

plus the fact that with the amount of queueing at servos the extra time would cause most to go postal and i don't want anyone touching my car - i will do it thank you. service is only service if they car and do it right ![]() on the original topic - in south east melbourne it has never been different. even when the atm is from a bank and not the particular supermarket chain. servos in general never give out money with eftpos. there are many, many atm's and supermarkets around to get money from - maybe the servo's think this too and if every customer wanted even $20, they would certainly run out of money i am not sure how much money the attendants do have access to, but considering how easy a target servo's are, it would not be right or safe to have a $50 note ready for every customer |
