Lazy colleague

I work in retail and am absolutely fed up with one colleague. He avoids till work like the plague. He puts up a closed sign and runs away when we've got long queues. When customers ask if he's getting on a till he says no and walks away. He leaves the shop to walk round the car park collecting trolleys without telling anyone. Today he said he was building furniture and to call someone else instead of him. As if that other person has nothing to do. The customer I was serving heard this exchange and wasn't impressed that he didn't want to help. He just decides what work he's doing. All staff and supervisors are fed up of his behaviour.

One colleague raised it with the store manager last week and apparently he "had a word". So I spoke to the store manager today who agreed that it was unacceptable.

I just find that we have such a habit here of doing anything for an easy life and just end up putting up with so much crap. Is there anything that can actually be done about this? I'm really fed up with doing his work.
