3. Notices
• Make sure you continue to tell all stewards before sales begin that if they press the wrong button on EPOS after ‘Confirm’ they should ask the customer to wait and get you to fix the issue. Remind them that if you’re inside they should still wait for you to return. (This is due to a number of EAW till differences recently).
• If you are on a late show and leaving the takings for the early DM then you should use one of the black boxes (like the DM box but with a lid) that can be found on the second shelf of the DM cupboard. The box of takings should then be left on the top shelf inside the safe.
• Similarly, if you have any large till differences that are probably due to EAW, you should not deactivate the show and leave the takings in a box in the safe and let the new CDM know of the issues.
• Please remember to make use of the Lost Property Log, this can be found at tinyurl.com/WSCLPL – this URL is also on a label on the inside of the DM cupboard door. Jack will take things to the gatehouse at some point after this so make sure you either put any lost property in the CDM tray or the safe (if it’s expensive).
4. Bridget Jones’s Trilogy
• Event takes place Friday W7. Will meet for briefing from 5:40pm.
• Matt has booked L3 in 5-6pm slot.
• Anyone who isn’t on the rotas interested in helping? - Antoinette, James
• Jack will assign roles and share more information next week.
• Currently thinking Zuzanna and Rianna on tills with maybe a TDM. If possible, could move some people to be listed as DM’s to open a couple of stewarding slots.
• Antoinette suggested not doing posters as they kept falling down throughout Evening of Ghibli.
• Breaks need tighter planning, and the plan needs to be stuck to. Bridget Jones should be around 10 minutes shorter than the Evening of Ghibli films so that time can give longer breaks.
