Every single time I go to the Woolworths Upper Burnie deli the staff are rude and you wait too long! For instance today I stood there waiting along with other customers while there was one person serving and the other staff member behind the deli was filling up the cabinet. It would have been far more polite and pro active to stop filling the cabinetry and serve the customers but no they are so rude and always look like they hate their jobs. It's very disappointing and frustrating.

Purchased a hot bbq chicken from Coffs Harbour park avenue store Sunday 21st July. It was so over cooked both drumsticks were inedible, very little amount of meat on thighs. Breast meat was dry and had to dig right to back of bird to find any seasoning. The bird looked very small. Maybe this was the reason it was so over cooked

Your Woolworths morningside center restaurant is absolutely appalling. We were seated given menus and not looked again for another 10 minutes. Called the manger to say that we have not been served yet. He took our our which was 2 x five roses tea, 1 x rooiboos tea, 1 x cinnamon and vanilla cappuccino and an iced coffee. Another 12 min passed and we still had not received our order. We decided to leave and I told the manager to please cancel our order. He got a little agro in his tone and said our order was almost ready and I need to consider that it was BIG ORDER! Whaaaattt? 5 drinks a big order. What a joke. He is clearly not the right person to be running your restaurant. He has no idea what a big order is.

I am sick of being constantly manipulated byyour stores.Items are frequently discontinued and other items put in their place. the latest is Berries Australian grown refrigerated pulp free orange juice.The egg section at Wheelers Hill is a disgrace. I am not interested in clearing the section I want the eggs I want.Stop screw ing suppliers and manufacturers and suppliers. For once think about customer service ahead of profits.

Just want to complain re the level of service at your Canelands store in Mackay Queensland. We were at this store mid last week & experienced a particularly long wait to get through the checkouts - long line of people & only two checkouts operating. After a long delay a third checkout was opened which alleviated the problem slightly.
Visited this same supermarket today 15/07/19 around 11.00 am & it was worse, even longer delays, again only two checkouts operating with approx. ten people waiting in line. Eventually a third checkout was opened but that was mobbed by people standing at the back of the que. I estimate it would have taken approx 30 minutes to get through the checkout. The self service line up was even worse with 12 to fifteen people waiting in line.

Appears that you have reduced staffing numbers in your supermarkets to a level where they can no longer operate efficiently.
We have been a loyal customer of Woolworths for many years but doubt we will shop with you again any time soon. Looks like customer satisfaction/service is no longer a priority of Woolworths.
Regards

Customer service at the self check in Berala is so disappointing. Today and a month ago during the school sticker promotion i was humiliated by the same lady at self serve check out for no good reason, a month ago after paying,packing my stuff and walking just afew steps i remembered my receipt to get stickers for my son, to which the lady yell out that im not aloud to to that, thats not mine, and even after explaining what had happened she pulls my bag and demands to check my bag infront of everyone,and after realizing she was wrong she just turns her back without an apology and carrys on,sying its her job to check bags. She could have atleast asked me nicely to step aside,rather than embarrasse me. And today, after scanning and checking out, there was a problem with my card, the red light for assistnt went off, the same worker from the first incident approached me, scanned her card and says to try again, this time while i insert my card, i noticed she was watching me type my pine. Everything went well, i got my cash out nd receipt, but than she wasnt satified nd does the exact same thing, demands to see inside my bag. It is the most humiliating thing to have people look at you and your kids with disgust like your shopliftng. When i than confronted her because that was unnecessary and humiliating,she snobs me off saying its her job to check bags. She didnt check anybody elses before me and after me. Such a horible experience to go through in front of not only other customers but most importantly my kids. The manger said he'll talk to her, but tried to defend her t the same time. So disappointed.

I only wear shine extra sheer stockings and only on Sundays to church.. Last Sunday it ladder under the feet before I left the house . Today again new pair and at this price it cannot be coincidence and should be related to quality

I shop at Bonnyrigg shops almost every day, mainly Woolworths. They have been promoting the recent Earn & Learn program running in this area. Unfortunately, during this time, I found some of the staff at the Bonnyrigg store rude and absolutely no help whatsoever.
They ran out of the printed booklets 5 weeks before the finish date, I kept asking when will they have them in as to my surprise most check out staff responses were "Ï don't think we are getting them in better to go to another store and try there."
After numerous attempts asking for the sheets, I decided to approach the front desk only to be told "We are too busy to deal with the sheets now as we are in the middle of a renovation". The last time that I checked, Woolworths had hired contractors to complete the renovations and the staff were not tasked with these duties. Their responsibility remains to fulfil customer service and ensure that they do their best to maintain the satisfaction of each customer, even by simply responding in a respectful and calm manner. Whilst I understand, that they were perhaps repeatedly asked about these sticker sheets and the stickers, and it may have been annoying or even inconveniencing to them, I believe that I asked respectfully and deserved that same treatment in return.
They never did get the sheets in. 3 1/2 weeks to go before the finish date they ran out of the stickers, I would ask every time I went in there which as mentioned prior has been almost every single day. When approaching the staff regardless of what section they worked in, most of them had responded in a rude manner.
I understand that perhaps Woolworths had not expected the influx of the promotion in the area. I also know that I have not been the only customer unhappy with the stores handling of this promotion; as I’m in the store regularly you can clearly also see the frustration in other customers who are in the checkout queue asking for stickers as well.
The sad aspect about this is that when a promotion arises like this to help disadvantaged schools in the area many people who have kids or grandchildren in the area jump at the chance to help out by changing their shopping choices from a cheaper provider such as Aldi’s. I made this choice as one of my grandchildren attends Mount Pritchard primary school which is the catchment area of the promotion.
From my experience with this promotion through my local store; in future it would be more viable for me to shop at a cheaper retailer and just make a tax deductible donation directly to the school I want to help out, rather than rely on the promotion being offered and be billed for it at the cash register.
On my final attempt before the promotion ended, I visited the store on the 24.06.19. I went to take in the sheets with my grandson as he was collecting them from another Woolworths. He had a smile on his face and was excited to put the finished sheets in the box provided by Woolworths. Upon entering the store I noticed the boxes provided were no longer in their designated spots so I asked the man at the front door where are the boxes to which he responded “I don't know, you’ll have to ask the front desk.” On asking the front desk she said the boxes had already been collected prior to the end date of the promotion, as they were more focused on the renovations, and the boxes had to be taken early due to these renovations.
I am a regular of Woolworths Bonnyrigg. I have come across many staff members who work there whom I enjoy seeing and speaking to whilst as the registers, and to say that I was disheartened by the treatment of the staff in this situation would be an understatement. If a promotion is going to be promoted within the store, then cater to that. If there are unforeseen circumstances in which a store can no longer cater to these needs, then simply putting signs around the store explaining this would take off the burden from the staff who have to constantly respond to customers regarding this whilst also advising your customers on what the situation is.
I look forward to hearing a response from your team in a prompt manner so that these issues can be resolved. Thank you.

I am complaining about the self check out system, this system says 'skip bagging' but when I did this I was immediately and impertinently instructed by counter staff today that I was not allowed to press this. It is my personal choice to place my scanned articles in separate bags but the bagging area is far to small to hold 2 separate bags. I found todays shopping experience very exasperating and I do not wish to shop at 2605 or any other Woolies grocery stores.

Yesterday I bought an Easy to Cook 28-days matured Beef Rump Roast with Mustard & Barley Stuffing at Woolworths Meyersdal in Alberton.
I was looking forward to trying this and cooked it as per instructions to medium rare on the same day.
I am bitterly disappointed in the quality of beef used in this product as it is not of a good standard and is was so though and not a pleasant meal.
For this reason I will not ever try one of these products again as it is not cheap and leaves you very disappointed in the end.

Today I shopped at Woolworths Neutral Bay and attempted to use a Fairy Dishwasher Promotion Offer but was told at the checkout that it was not able to be used as the offer only related to the two packs advertised on the ticket. On reading the back of the offer, it clearly states '50% off the RRP on any Fairy Dishwashing tablets'.
I have attached a copy of the front and back of the promotion ticket. The offer expires on Sunday 30 June 2019.
Can you please explain to me why this offer was not honoured.
Kind regards

In the specials brochure for week 19th June 2019 2 Cases of Tooheys Beer 30 x 375 was advertised for $98.00
On the 22nd June I went to Bomaderry bws and was told they are $54.00 I did not buy.
On the 24th June I went to Nowra Woolworths and was told they are not on special they are $54.00 each and it is a printing mistake I refused to buy.

Why have specials advertised and not honour them?

We are regular shoppers at this particular Woolworths & have been for years. However after this last incident , we feel let down. On Tuesday on our regular shop we bought 56 items & were overcharged on 15 of these , including pumpkin .84 kg net @ $5.50 for $ 27.72 ?????. Overall for a $244.40 shop we were charged $299.40. After convincing staff of the problem , then told that the cash register at that checkout was malfunctioning. So the result was move to another checkout , unload all of the shopping , cancel previous docket & start all over again putting all of the items through . So from the time of arrival to departure was extended by an extra 45 minutes to sort this out. We feel let down , as their should have been some sort of compensation . We have both dockets.

Good day

My son wants to change a chino and ordered a bigger size Chino from the Centurion Woolworths about the 14th of April. They called us about a month ago and when we went to fetch the Chino it was the same size he had. Now we hadn't heard from you since then. Can you please follow up on this for me?

Thank you.

My family and i shop at you"re Morayshire store in Morayfield Queensland.Yesterday 15/06/2019 we were again held up at you're self service check out.Again, as has happened before your self service check out was not working.I guess what made it worse was the attitude of you're young lady who was meant to be assisting but seemed to blame me for the faulty self service check out.I don't think I was the only one as other people seemed to be experiencing the same problem, unsure if the young lady was also not very courteous to them? ,,Hoping this leads you to do something about you"re unreliable equipment, so I can again resume shopping at Woolworths.Just also would like to say that the lady that is normally on the self service check out is extremely helpful and courteous.

I can't believe that the Green stone branch is always low on stock when a person complain they say that it is head office. Woolworths quality is not the same any more they do nothing about it
I Never ever see any white people employed at Woolworths but they want the money of the white people we should all boycott them

I have just returned some corned silverside to Woolworths unanderrato get a refund.The use by date 15/7/19. It was awful. It didn't cut like silverside usually does. Was tough. I had cooked lovely vegetables and was really looking forward to dinner and was so disappointed I got in my car and returned it immediately. The staff were very apologetic and I said I wanted the meat dept to know. I really am not happy with the quality of meat generally and wish woolworths to know.
I am a daily customer as I live very nearby.

Today at approximately 3pm I went into my local woolworths store to buy some groceries.

After I had done my shopping I went to the self service counter and started using the first
register which was a card only machine, as I was using the register the woman (tall, blonde
with pimples on her face) stood over me in a threatening manner while I was scanning my groceries.

When I went to use my atm card to pay for my shopping she stood even closer, so close
that I had to ask the woman in the cigarette shop (Mandy) to tell her to please step back
as I did not want her to see my pin number to which Mandy replied that “No I won’t
do that as it was the womans job to stand there”.

This isn’t the first time I have had some sort of drama from this woman, if she just did her
job I would have been fine with it, but she was so aggressive she even said to me “You’re
the woman that got me Into trouble the last time and if you don’t like it then go through one
of the other registers”.

I have had enough drama for the last few months to last me a life time, I do not need any more,
So if u could please rectify this situation and maybe tell the woman to leave her personal dislikes and
aggression outside of the work place as it is very unprofessional of her.

Thankyou for your attention to this matter.

While shopping at my local woolworths shoreline Tasmania I was using the self service checkout. I am a frequent customer and know that this service has recently changed and is a bit slow and temperamental. However when there was a problem I looked around for your customer service staff member. This was a busy saturday morning. The staff member Sarah was chatting to another staff member. So I waited and waited until I had to say excuse me. Well she was obviously not happy that i had interrupted her conversation. And promptly informed me that the error was of my own doing. Ok no problem. Then it happened again. I turn around for Sarah who is once again talking to the staff member. I ask her if this time it is my fault and she says yes it is as I have jiggled the bags. I ask her for her name as I tell her that I dont think her customer service is very good. She is very insolent when telling me her name. Very rude person. I at this stage I am very angry. I did speak to a gentleman at the service desk about her. When I was leaving I noticed she was at the same checkout helping someone else. So just maybe that particular checkout is not working properly today and it is not the fault of the customer. I shop at this woolworths frequently and have always found other staff to be courteous. I was at the shoreline saturday 15/6/19 at approx 12.15.

I purchased the Mongolian lamb strips . The flavours were lovely & the meat was very tender BUT the pieces weren't strips & very inconsistent in there size. Some really long pieces & then very small & also large pieces . I used scissors to cut some pieces . Presentation didn't look like the photo on the back of the Woolworths magazine where it shows similar sized pieces.

COOMA

For some time Cooma has been undergoing a "Re vamp" including the carpark. For approximately 4 weeks the carpark has had next to no lighting and in the last week NO lights at all. Cooma is dark by 5.30pm at this time of the year and the car park is very dangerous as to falls etc and also crime. A few weeks ago I managed to speak to the Assistant Manager who assured me that the re furbishments including car park would be completed by 20 May 2019. It's now 12 June and still in darkness. As a local, shopping every day, I knew were to park, but now in the dark parking spots are hard to define.

I find it very incompetent from a project management perspective that the last improvement would be one impacting on safety to customers.

As to the asphalting of the car park no signage was provided at any entrance as to thoroughfares. EG went there one lunch time and could enter carpark as normal but not able to access shop, stopped by a contractor, and then told to go back out the way I came in.

Very Unorganised and no logic.

AS to Self service LOL.
Many Cooma locals do huge shops fortnightly/monthly due to distances/farm commitments as if they will use self service. I have used Self service and every time had to ask for assistance. When will customers be offered a discount for serving themselves.

On a positive note the BWS improvements are fantastic with more refrigerated wines and beers.

I went to Woolworths Wonderboom/Lavender Branch 6 times in the last 3 weeks. There was no Full Cream Long Life Milk in stock.
The lady /head at the cashiers took my name and telephone nr in there book done and she promise to phone me the moment it arrives. The milk was on special for R64.99 box on 6 one liteers. She also said this is not my or her fault and if the milk arrives after the special is over i will be able this still at the special price. The special was over on Sunday the 09/06 and the milk arrives on the 11/06.

I phoned there myself and speak to Eugene Ntuli {manager food section}}and ask him to look my name is in there book and i will come and buy my milk on the order.
He said i can not have this on the special price.

So actually this details was taken down in there book {names and telephone numbers} just to keep the clients quiet and they do not what they promise to do. This is very bad for Woolworth make promises to the client and not keep with there promises.
i need Woolworth to contact me and confirm this is the correct procedure to deal with there clients.

Some time back I purchased a Select Automatic Air Freshener Diffuser & Refill which has worked quite well for some months.
Recently it stopped working. i tried replacing the batteries but it still didn't work.
I returned it to my local Woolworths store at Forest Lake and explained the situation.
A female staff member told me that was about the normal life span and gingerly agree to replace the product.
Now I find that the brand new replacement also doesn't work.
It hasn't even been a week.
After my last experience I am reluctant to return with it.
Am I now stuck with this defective product and out of pocket?

I went into Woolworths Brooklyn to hand in a pair of slippers I bought on Saturday which were too small. I only managed to go on Tuesday to change the slippers. The lady at the exchange counter was insisting that I wore the slippers and I told I had not. She was challenging me with her eyes and I said to her I had not worn the slippers but i agreed witb her that the sole looked as it was worn. I probably should have checked the sole of the slipoet before buying it. She kept in challenging me with her look until her colleague said something to her language. The look this lady gave me made me feel like a lier and a thief. As you can see I'm a frequent customer and a reliable one when it comes to paying my account. This incident is giving me second thoughts on whether to close my account with Woolworths. To be treated in this way is not pleasant

Bought a shoes two days ago, returned it as it was hurting me.. Customer service refused to take the shoe back after two days. Highly annoyed

20

I was unable to find a single worker in the store to help with a query...the 2 staff members in the store were on a checkout and the self service area and too busy to interrupt altho i did try. The product I sought had an empty box on the shelf. I was disappointed to have to go elsewhere but I won't waste my time in woolies again.

I went in the Kalamunda store this afternoon to recycle my plastics. There was no bag in the bin so I asked for one. I was told I needed to purchase a 15c bag even though they failed to provide one.
After this I wanted to get some fresh fruit and veg. Disgusting quality to say they are the fresh food people.

My 82 year old mum bought a kilo of
Woolard fugi apples this morning (10/6/19) at the main Woolies shop in our town Geraldton-WA and cut them open when she got home. This is what was on the inside of a perfect on the outside apple.

I have had 2 major disappointments in Bundaberg Stockland recently, Bought 2 whole fish (they were marked down) and got home to cook them and soon as they were out of the bag it was obvious from the disgusting smell they were rotting!!! I live out of town so it wasn't worth driving back for refund, I would have been embarrassed walking into a store with rotten fish.
Next was Woolworths own Cheesecake, I have been caught twice with this, the base of the cheesecake is not set at all, it was nothing but crumbs and the entire cheesecake fell apart. I had guests that night and it was again very embarrassing. I prefer Woolworths to Coles but Coles hasn't disappointed me as much as Woolies has.

Yesterday at 5.50pm at the Katoomba store my wife needed assistance at the self service register. Normally we do not use the self service cashier. When requested service 3 times the assistant present huffed and puffed as if we requested her to pay for the goods. I wish to remind Woolworths that such employees, regardless of the reasons for their behaviour, bring discredit to Woolworths. I also wish to indicate that there are alternatives to shopping at your store.

20

On going through self service today I was being harassed by staff member on what I had scanned and she would not give me a chance to get to my items with her constant interference this happens from her every time I go through self service the sign say we are here to HELP not over ride what Iam do I will no longer be shopping at that store

Today I went into shop at this store and get a few things. Earlier that day I had purchased a water from the store and I had the receipt in my bag. I had eaten some lunch and in the trolley was the water I purchased earlier, half full. This brand of water can be purchased anywhere in the Shopping Centre.
I went to a checkout with a lady who knows me well, I have been shopping here for many years and I also know this lady from the old Woolworths store at Jackson Court, Doncaster East. She asked me where did I purchase the water, and I showed her my receipt, which she just glanced at. But its the way its done, I feel like I'm a criminal. And its happened twice before with this same person. Asking whether my other purchases were from this store. In all cases I had the proof that I bought the goods from another store.
I don't like my experience at Woolworths, I feel like a guilty shopper. And the way she asks is nasty. I know you have problems with theft. But this woman knows me, I'm a regular customer and not a thief. And I don't feel like going to this store ever again, it fills me with dread. Oh and also she should apologise to me, because I'm not a thief. I think better training of your staff would be better. I never experience this at Coles or Woolworths in other places.

I went to the Northland Safeway to get a chopping board. Got help from a person called Emma who was really helpful & pleasant to deal with (I didn't know then that she was the manager). No luck with the chopping board but while I had her there, I asked her if I could bring a blanket back I'd bought the day before at the Ivanhoe Safeway as I thought it would be good if I didn't have to drive all the way over to Ivanhoe as I had the blanket with me. She said fine, if you've got the receipt then no problem. Ok so I went out to the car and got it and then went back into the store to the service desk. The person I dealt with (unfortunately didn't get her name) looked at the receipt and said because it's got bits torn off ( I tore off the bottom section as that has the discounted petrol voucher bit on it which I keep it in my wallet) she couldn't use it for returns purposes as she couldn't read the date on it. She then said she'd have to have my identification details and said that would involve my name, address and phone number. I said that I was confused as I've bought things back before and never had to supply these details. She insisted that was the case so I asked to speak to the manager. In the interim, I looked at the receipt and could see that the date was on it and easily readable. A woman came to deal with me and for all attempts and purposes, I thought I was dealing with the manager. Her name was Vesna and she confirmed what the other assistant said that I had to give my personal details or I wouldn't get a refund. She also added this was also because the item being returned was over $20. I said I couldn't give my details as I didn't know where they would go or who would be seeing them. I said I have a silent phone no. and my address is also suppressed on the electoral role for good reason and I certainly wouldn't be giving them my details. Vesna said that was the rule and the computer wasn't letting her override this. Her attitude seemed to be, well that's it, like it or lump it. I stormed out quite frankly furious and drove all the way over to the Ivanhoe store and tried to return it there as that's where I bought it. I asked for the manager straight away and asked to return the item and get a refund and asked him what information did he need and he said the receipt is all. So I said, "Under what circumstances would you need my personal details?" And he said, "If you didn't have a receipt but you have so its' no problem. I said, "Would it have anything to do with the price of the item, say if it was over $20?" He said, "No" and looked a bit puzzled. So I easily got a refund but as I'm sure you can imagine, I was still furious as I realised I'd been blatantly lied to by the staff at Northland. So I drove back to the Northland store to let them know what had transpired. When I got there, Vesna was with a checkout assistant and this assistant pointed me out to Vesna saying something like look she's back I think you're in trouble. Vesna said something like she wasn't worried that nothing would happen. I asked for the manager straightaway and this time Emma came over who I'd dealt with previously. I told her what had occurred i.e. driving back to Ivanhoe and that I had no trouble getting the refund. She apologised and said she'd speak to Vesna to make sure she knew the proper procedure. She also confirmed that what happened at Ivanhoe was the right procedure. Emma also told me Vesna was the Service Desk supervisor. In my opinion, she shouldn't be dealing with the public at all! Such a contrast to Emma who was faultless.

This is my second complaint my husband purchased a cooked chicken last weekend in the morning as we wanted it for our picnic on opening it we were disgusted it was overly cooked looked old and dry even tasted dry . We threw it out . With the price of things we would expect better.

The attendant at the self-serve checkouts attempted to snatch my bag from me and refused to unlock the scanner when it froze up.

Without a doubt the single worst customer service experience of my life.

I have sent additional information to 4361livingston@woolworths.com.au and copied feedback@woolworths.com.au.

My complaint is about my store in Deloraine Tasmania..
The staff are hard working and blameless however I will list the following.
.Shelves half empty.Often whole series of items just not on shelves at all.Also very poor selection even when shelf is full.Check out is far too slow obviously never enough staff to do the job..Plastic bags that you force customers to pay for have overtime greatly reduced in quality.
In short I am very unhappy and very very dissapointed.

hi just a quick note about a jar of dolmio creamy mushroom pasta sauce I just opened.When I opened it I got the pop but looking at the lid I noticed this black stuff on the lid ,it doesn't look right to me so I thought I would make you aware of it.The jar is dated to expire in 2020 so still in date.warm regards Katherine

Woolworths has always maintained a High Standard of fresh fruit/veg but of recent experience I am utterly unhappy with the standards the fruits are sold. As an example, I have bought grapes for the last 3 occasions and they have no taste and not fresh. Yesterday I bought grapes from one of the stores and to my disappointment the grapes were shriveled /wrinkled and look like they about to expire. I spent close to R40 for these grapes and I find this unacceptable.

Woolworths is dropping their standards!!! Considering the price we pay for fresh fruit/veg, this is extremely disappointing.

Since Monday of this week Woolworths at Westfields Liverpool have not had any stickers to give to customers. They do announce they have run out but have not offered to sign our dockets so we can claim our stickers at a latter date.

Your promotion is false and many schools are missing out of there stickers.

I have been shopping at Woolworths to try and collect for my grandsons school. He was very disappointed I could not donate to his school this week.

I wish to make a complaint about the new system implemented on the self serve registers in the supermarkets. Today at Woolworths Morayfield was my first experience with this system and I am unhappy about the whole experience. I have always used my own bags for at least the last 20 years (even though back then I was looked at as though I was from another planet) and now I am questioned every time I shop? The bagging area is not very roomy and now if I attempt to shift the bags into the trolley or even just rearrange them this machine questions my motifs and demands that I put them back. If I have heavy or bulky items I do place them in the bagging area after they are scanned but if I attempt to then transfer them into the trolley it tells me to place them back in the bag. This is a " Big Brother is watching you" affair and succeeds in making your customers feel guilty even though they know that they have done nothing illegal. There is surely another way to handle this. Come on Woolworths pull up your socks and stop humiliating loyal and long standing customers.

Very very very rude arrogant and insulting customer service from Woolworths 2613 paradise centre staff name Amaliya this is third time i am experience same service from the same person. And for no reason.in the morning i went to Woolies to buy chicken brest while i am returning to the gym. When i went to self service reg I realised I forgot my bank card so i said to the girl i dnt want it and she said you need to put this one back in deli. And so rudely she tell me that so insulting. I put it back. Second incident i have 4 yrs boy wid me and he scan lollipop twice so i called her and she is so rude and tell me make sure you scan it properly so so rude again. Third exp is in my grocery i bought A2 lite instead of fullcream and i ask can i change it and she is so rudely how long you bought and i am like min ago and she said go get it and come back to service desk when i came back there was already a guy waiting for her she is like you have to wait i am fine wid that but when is is back from another checkout that guy is first so i said serve the guy and she is so rude excuse me ... excuse me can i get milk and she scan milk and bang it on and then i get that milk and walk of bcoz its so insulting.. very very insulting.. would not expect this kind of service from Woolworths

GLEN VILLAGE WOOLWORTHS - The service at your fruit and vegetable department absolutely pathetic. No matter when if i requested something from that department, there is no stock, while they were busy unpacking the new stock , but when going back after 15 min the new stock is on the selve. It happened again yesterday
and I locked a call via your customer services department by phone. There is a Mr Karabo who got an attitute thinking Woolworths belongs to him. He will decide whether or not there is stock , or he will do it his way even if he is allocated at that department .
As well as your Management department, according to me everbody is running the shop. If there is one he or she is definitly not aware of what is going on in the shop. 2 Cassiers at peak time , people standing in a long que. Sorry that is not on. Cassiers talking to each other and long conversations with customers after they had paid is also not service.
Next time I got this kind of service, i will for sure spread this on twitter and facebook with video footage

first off. star rating -0.
I do my online shop weekly. things are always forgotten, this week it was 4kg of chicken breasts. my weekly orders are close to $1000. This week was only $439. I have parents that pay their childs school fees but yet I cant provide the food.Tomorrow I will have a lot of angry teachers and teachers having to deal with parents. My job is to order their food.
Today I asked for my chicken to be delivered as it was missing from order. $38 worth. I was told twice that because the chicken was only $39 I couldn't have it re delivered as it was under $50. Then I was asked could I go to Nerang and just pick it up. Your kidding me right. So NOT EXCEPTABLE.
I am now in trouble with finance and HOD as money was refunded to corporate card and Im not allowed to do that.
We will now take our business else where as this is bad work ethic.
You can contact me on 0490248728. Tammy
There needs to be some sort of an apology for this as the times I phoned I got nothing.

Today Saturday 25 th May I went to Woolworths greystanes to return some batteries and did not have my receipts for them the boy at the counter turned to his supervisor and she told him to scan and see how much it came to it was $50.50 now she did not explain to me before she scanned in a gift card that the limit was $30 I desperately needed the cash as I owed someone money she swipes the card and then says to me the limit is $30 it's tooo late I've scanned the gift card you have to take it I work in retail and I know she could have cancelled it and given me half the batterie back I said to her why didn't you tell me this beforehand she says really rude it's too late and walks off so she lied to me and walked off and never told me about the $30 policy beforehand I am so furious with this rudeness and deceitful behaviour I will never shop at Woolworths ever again and I am going to the social media about this and the radio and tv station it's a scam she could have reversed it and asked me what would I like to do instead she humiliated me she was wearing a Muslim outfit at greystanes service desk I would like her fired for her rudeness and lying to me I work in retail and I know how it works but I stand by 100% customer service and friendliness and I certainly did not receive that today at your store I will never go there ever again

20

poor customer service as I have applied for wolworths card at march to date I do nit have my card ,everytime I get to the store I get the same excuse that I should wait for two weeks. I don't even think this customer complains helps as it seems it falls on deaf ears, did email last week about this query to date no one has contacted me .This is so useless no wonder the staff is like that as well. so disappointed in this service as it is disgusting as well.

Hi there,

Just writing to advise of the highly inappropriate security officer working in the Surry Hills Metro store today at 12pm.

I regularly shop at this location and am continually harassed and profiled, perhaps for being a young woman in my 20s with tattoos, unsure exactly what it could be.
However every single time I come to this store I am harassed at the checkout with a security guard standing behind me so close I can barely move to put things in my bag.

Today, said security guard got so close that he grazed my behind. If this happens again I will be pressing charges for sexual harassment.
It is absolutely outlandish and incredibly disrespectful, not to mention DISGUSTING.

I would suggest better training your incompetent staff, or perhaps if you have an issue with customers using a self checkout, open your registers again.

Regards,

A very angry customer!

I wish to make a complaint about Woolworths home brand vanilla creamed rice. The last four tins purchased (with a use by date of 01-2021) were almost pure liquid. You could drink them. No need for a spoon. I made this same complain some time ago and thought that the problem had been rectified. Whilst shopping in your store at Morayfield today I picked up several of the cans on the shelf and shook them. They all made a sloshing sound confirming that they too are mostly liquid. The label states "THICK & creamy. This is in fact false advertising and is misleading customers. What has happened to this former great product which I note is now made in Belgium? I would appreciate an email reply regarding this. Do not phone me or ask me to phone you. Barb Bowtell

Whist shopping at the ponds woolworths, a staff member told another employee off, I believe that the staff member was a shift supervisor. While she had every right to tell this employee off it should have been done in private, and not for all to hear. She shouted at this other lady and I would class it as verball bullying, also this shift supervisor was complaining that she had no staff to cover in three weeks, she said it was her birthday and she had the weekend off. I was uncertain who she was talking Tom but she spoke very loud for everyone to hear, again these sort of issues should be dealt with personally and not in front of customers and other staff members. The lady in question was working on j he cigarette counter where also customers get assistance with their shopping if they don't want to use the check out machines. I was inot woolworths at approx 10am this morning. I would like this matter resolved as this particular lady needs extra training on how to deal with employees. I am an x manager of a care home, and we would never speak to another person in the way she did. Fare enough she was probably frustrated with this other lady but still no excuse to talk to her like she was dirt. I would like you to contact me on how this issue will be addressed, and to prevent this occurring again, as I believe that this particular lady acted very 7nproffesnonally, in the way she spoke, and also complaining about staff issues, which surely the manager heeds to be involved if she had problems that she can't handle.

Today I purchased a 500ml bottle of Milton anti-bacterial solution for $6.90 from w'worths DY NSW.
You used to sell the 1 litre bottles for approx. the same price.
I walked over to Coles & they were selling the 1 litre bottles for $6.64.
I came back to W'worths & spoke to the anglo-saxon manager responsible for that dept.I told him that there must be a mix up with the pricing.
he told me he wasn't responsible for the pricing & that was the price.
He showed no interest whatsoever in checking as to whether there was a pricing mistake, & cared even less that the product was selling for twice the amount than Coles.
I shop in W'worths 3-4 times a week spending several $1000's a year. His attitude was disgracefully dismissive & I will no longer shop at W'worths again.His attitude & others like it may be the reason W'worths was placed 7 behind 6 other supermarkets in a recent satisfaction poll with customers.

I constantly go into Woolworths Raymond Terrace to shop but find the produce lacking in freshness - you advertise you are the "fresh food people" - I dont think so. The main store is sadly lacking in both freshness and customer service. Some of the "behind counter staff" certainly lack manners and helpfulness.
There always seems to be lack of product on the shelves - why is this ?

I dont normally complain but my experiences recently have led to this email.

Hi I am a loyal Woolworths Customer since landing in Australia late 1987 and especially at Woolworths Pacific Pines where I’ve live the last 16 years. On the evening of 7-5-19 I log into my WW account check the 1-2 price specials decide to go to WW PPines as Windex Surface and Glass was 1/2 price @ $2.40 so time to stock up. Along with Cadbury Chocolate at $1
I was not feeling well, tired and disappointed to find only 1 x Windex S/G there with a damaged creased label and no $1 chocolate bars left
So I purchased the Windex and some other items on special went through the checkout
I remember hearing a double beep/scan on the Windex, I try and look at the screen and couldn’t see it
Then made conversation about the only reason I came out was to get the Windex and they were out and forgot about what I heard
Got home and remembered “did the young man double scan?” Checked the receipt and “yes he did!”, = $4.80 pls see screenshot
Wow how many times over 30 years have I been overcharged?
Drove back exhausted , got a $2.40 refund with the excuse that the checkout machine makes that error
Seriously Woolworths?
Wow... wrong answer to the wrong person on the wrong night.

From time to time I receive Woolworths My Rewards vouchers and find that frequently, the items listed are not available in store. The latest one listed R10 off 2 WW 400g strawberries. On my first visit to Woolworths - no strawberries, and on enquiry, none available! A few days later, they only stocked 250g strawberries, so still not able to be used! The same voucher offered a discount on Fresh butchery products, excluding poultry, so I selected red meat to the relevant value, only to find it did not qualify as is was not from the Fresh butchery section. I would have thought all the meat you sold qualified as Fresh!!!
I find your system very user unfriendly!

I would just like to know every time there is a special on something at Woolworths food in Witbank both stores there is never vegables and if I ask for a rain check they never give out any they tell me they can't provide me with a rain check for the vegables so I would just like to know why does some Woolworths food stores gives out rain check for there customers but both the Woolworths food in Witbank don't give at all

I purchased a Celebration Carrot Cake from your Dural Round Corner store on 27 January 2019 which was of poor quality. I posted a letter to PO Box 8000, Baulkham Hills 2153 on the 31 January outlining my disappointment at the quality of the cake which on taking home was found to be extremely dry and not very pleasant to eat. Due to the cost involved of $40.00 and my inability to return to the store at that particular time I decided to send my comments in writing and have been awaiting a response, which to date I have not received. I can supply a copy of the letter and a copy of my receipt if required but I would particularly like some feedback about my complaint so I know you have taken my concerns seriously.
Kind regards

Two runaway trolleys were stem pres to be pushed into the other trolleys by the Hadfield Store Manager 18/4/19 & the trolleys did not go into the others, then came flying damaging my car.
Woolworths rejected my claim to fix my car. The store Managee Donella lied to the insurance company
I believe in Karma & will take this to woolworths CEO

I went into Woolworths Joondalup to buy my groceries and noticed the easiyo sachets were marked down to $3.50 and decided to stock up. I bought 8 sachets at that price. When I got home and checked my docket I found only 3 sachets had been scanned at $3.50 and the other 5 at $4.50. Every flavour sachet in the shop had the price tag below with $3.50 printed on it. So why was I charged the higher rate?

I am a extremely long time exclusive Woolworth customer (approx plus 40 years) & I recently had a bad experience with the meat department at the Sebastopol supermarket. I have recently started purchasing the prepackaged cuts of meat, which up till now I have been quite happy with, until last week I opened a 400gram pack of BRUEMAR pork. The piece of meat that was visible through the clear wrap looked very nice but to my shock and surprise the piece under the cardboard wrapper was of a totally unacceptable standard. It was very small and consisted almost totally of grizzel and sinew, totally uneatable, as I was at the time, preparing to cook said meat this was very annoying & frustrating & resulted in a less than enjoyable meal. I have spoken to my supermarket meat supervisor and was directed to contact the complaints Dept. I hope you will address this matter promptly.

To whom it may concern

I have a Woolworths Credit Card and it has been block because of the FICA. I have send email 4 times already and I have been to the store in Paarl Mall and they have also email it thru twice but still nothing. I must say the Ackermans service is better then Woolworths. Can someone please be in contact with me and sort it out ASAP or I will take it further.

I always thought Woolworths is on top of everything but I was wrong.

I have been to more than 5 woolworths stores looking for all day bras size 36 F since last year November to no avail. For a reputable store like woolworths not to have stock is to disappointing and unprofessional. I cant buy or wear any other bras because they not as comfortable as all day bras. This week I went to Woolworths in Kerk Street, Jabulani and Maponya still to no avail and I cant go any further than that to get what I want and by the looks of things bras are hardly on stock for people with big breast. This is not on and need to be rectified ASAP. I need feedback ASAP and a solution to this.

Purchased a pack of five Lamb Chops, the top 2 looked great but they covered the bottom 3.When we took all the chops out the bottom 3 were so fatty we could not eat them and gave them to our dog. Not good how they cover fatty chops with some good chops. Should off gone to the Butcher, at least you can see what you are buying

I called woolworths at Musgrave centre to find out if they had stock of the bread that I liked. The first time I called I was put on hold for forever and the switchboard did not even have the decency to come back to me. This was a cell call.
The second call I made, I mentioned this to the lady and she said she was going to put me through - with the same result.
I then made a third call to speak to the manager and was rudely cut off.
This is the type of service I get when I am always shopping at Woolies - totally disgusting.
I then further made a call to the Durban Head office where a lady by the name of Leverne told me that she would try and find out what I needed. Lo and behold your staff does not even know what the store stocks. I was told that what I wanted was discontinued, by then I was fuming as I had just bought the Ciabatta bread a few days ago from the same store.
This is what I told her and she mentioned that she would now go down to the store herself and will call me back.
I AM STILL WAITING FOR THIS CALL.
This is the worst service I have ever had.

27th April 11.30 hours my daughter and I were going through the self – serve checkout which was located next to the staff member overseeing everyone. This girl came over and asked if we had checked through and item which she proceed to use her finger to check what we had already checked through, she proceeded to do this 3-4 times, not once did she check anyone else. I understand they need to oversee customers and there are not so honest people but we were right next to her and dressed nice. I did ask if she wanted to check items through herself and if she thought we were stealing also why she was not doing the same to others, it was only then did she check 1 customer’s items. She then asked if we checked through the toilet paper and proceeded to do this herself – I went back to tell her we already did this and she had charged me twice – she sarcastically told me to go to the counter to get my money refunded. I did report her to the manager. Both my daughter and I were made to feel like thieves, humiliated and will not be returning to Pacific Fair Woolworths again, nor will our family and friends. We are well educated and felt we were undervalued as a customer. We would appreciate follow up and feedback please. - very unhappy customer.

I rang Woolworth's West Lakes SA at 5.30 pm on Friday 26/4/2019, I asked to be put through to the bakery I sat on the telephone for 10 minutes and the call kept bouncing backwards and forwards. I hung up and rang again the same a staff member answered the telephone and I complained that I have been waiting for ten minutes for someone in the bakery she said I will put you through, I complained to her, what is the point of you putting me through to there if obviously no one is in the bakery, surely there is some one else that can help me to check stock, she put me through to grocery department and I found out what I wanted to know. If Woolworth's want people to shop in their stores you need to train your people to be more efficient, I don't shop at Woolworth's never have always been a Cole's person obviously this is why. If you don't train you staff to be customer orientated then why would anybody want to shop at Woolworth's

At the end of last winter I bought a pair of slippers (stokies) from your store . I wore them for 2/3 weeks and put them away for the next winter . with the onset of cooler weather I unpacked them, and have worn them for about 2 weeks .In total about 5 weeks and not wearing them every day .I was dismayed to see last night that the sole has broke off in patches like pieces of a puzzle,.this is not in my opinion fair wear and tear but the use of a sole material that is not fit for purpose , they were machine washed once in cold water and only worn indoors or on occasionally onto our lawn .
The slippers are available for inspection , and I can wassap photos to a number of your choice .
Your intervention would be appreciated

Lack of tills being open always. Yesterday afternoon there were 3 tills open, with queues snaking around. I waited approx 15 mins, outrageous. Why?

The self service section also had a large queue. Is it that you do not wish to pay the wages by making your customers wait. This is not the only occasion and find it insulting to all of your customers. I think I will shop at Coles and Aldi and am sure not the only one if you keep making everyone wait, so unnecessary.

The branch was at Ocean Keys, WA

Dear Manager,

On 03/04/2019, I purchased Australian grown milk full cream 2l (12 packets) from New Town Woolworths (7008) .

I start using the milk and i start having flu and diarrhea. My partner also start having diarrhea. But we did not lealised it's happening because of the milk. I had medicine from doctor 10th April and she gave medicine for flu but she said diarrhea will be get better. But flu get bit better execept diarrhea.
Then we went 3 days to interstate, by the time our diarrhea get bit better and today (17/04/19) i came home and start using milk again and our diarrhea get worse. Then i open another milk and try as well unfortunately both same. Then I realised milk is the issue.

I understand that under the Australian Consumer Law, when I buy products and services they come with automatic guarantees that they will work and do what I asked for.

I have my receipt and still i have 3 milks left with me. I ll attached receipt with this email.

I want you guys to understand the situation and I want you guys to do the best you can do for me. Because i m a woolworths regular customer and me and my partner is sick as well.

If I do not hear from you within 05 working days, I will lodge a formal complaint with Tasmanian Consumer Affairs & Fair Trading and/or report my issue to the ACCC.

You can contact me about this complaint via email at desilvasakuni@gmail.com or call me on 0452104612 during business hours.

At my visit last night to the Wooloworths store in the Northside Plaza Rockhampton (at approx 8.30pm) my daughter and I were shocked to hear one of your staff , who was stocking the ice cream fridge, speak very rudely and loudly to another staff member who she called Clayton (an Aboriginal man). She spoke to him in a derogatory manner after he asked which isle he needed to take his trolley of goods to stack. She did not show him which isle to go to and her directions were abrupt and sarcastic "It's the one that says dishwashing liquid". He looked around at the isles and could not find it. I looked down the next isle and the sign was half way down the isle so i told him where it was. Then the staff member muttered rudely under her breath, she looked very annoyed rolling her eyes and ignoring the fact that we were standing in front of her watching the whole situation. It was very embarrassing for Clayton and equally embarrassing for us the customers. Clayton deserves an apology from this staff member for her lack of support and bad treatment.
The staff member mentioned (I did not see her name) was a woman, Caucasian, with short hair shaved up the sides, with a small pony tail pulled to the back of her head. She was stacking the refrigerators with ice cream and the time was approx 8.30pm.

I Shop @LaLucia Mall - saw a Black Pants (David Jones - S04109390) they only had a 8 - I require a 12 - they checked the computer and told me Gateway had 1 x 10 and 4 x 12 - so I rushed off to Gateway - Was told it is not on the floor but in the Storeroom. No reply from the storeroom, she said she will let me know. Day after I get a sms to say sorry, but they have not got stock - so it is still showing on the computer, because I went back to La Lucia to ask to check Pavilion. Within 5 minutes she phone to say sorry they have no stock in Pavilion. My question is why is it still showing on computer if there is NO stock???????????????????????

I have just washed the Woolworth Green Bag in my washing machine.
On removing from the machine it has left a very, very bad green stain!! around the top.
I'm trying to work out how to remove it.
Please let me and other shoppers with similar experience how to remove this ugly green stain
from around the top of my washing machine.
Very annoyed that this would happen, the bags should be tested before selling to the public.
Extremely unhappy!

I purchased a couple of kilos of red nectarines yesterday from Woolworths in Emerald,
Victoria.

Eating some today they were brown inside and tasteless.

The quality was unacceptable especially when Woolworths use the slogan the "fresh food people."

This is not the only time I have had very poor quality fruits from Woolworths.

I was at Woolworths Kings Langley today and experienced the worst service.
There was a packet of 2 hatchimals on sale for $5 on clearance (end of the isle). I walked past them and saw them on special with a yellow tag because they were high my 4 year old son didn't see them. Then when we walked past the actual isle that they were kept my son reached up and took one off the shelf. I looked and they also had a price tag of $5 so I allowed him to purchase them.
When I checked out at the self service the price came up to $10. I informed the lady they were $5. She went for a walk and came back and told me no they were $10. I then said to her they are also $5 at the other end of the isle. Instead of her walking there to look for the price she asked me to take her there while I was in the middle of checking out with a trolley full of food and a 4 toddler in tow. I showed her the $5 one and she advised they were series 2 then I walked over to show her the other isle and it said $5 she told me the sign was for a single hatchimal not the pack of 2. There was a whole heap of them in that section that marked $5 but they were now all pushed back to the back of the shelf. She said to me no these are over stocked and pointed to the ones hanging that said $10. I then told her they were all in a pile infront of the $5 sign. She then said to me no, these have been pushed back all the way to the back. I then said to her if they were all the way to the back how would a kid have taken them off the shelf? She replied I don't know they were pushed back when I saw them implying that I was lying.
I don't know of any parent that would go out of their way to buy hatchimal toys for their sons.
This girl (Corina if my memory serves me correctly) made me feel like a liar, she wasted my time walking her throughout the store to show her the locations of the items, she asked me to leave my shopping at the self service registers which I insisted I would finished then she wasted more of my time refunding me the $5 because I ended up purchasing the discounted one.
Its not about the $5, its not about the hatchmals its about the way she made me feel and the time she wasted.

Today at our local store where we have shopped for 45 years the checkouts were terrible...room to line up is limited because of other shoppers only two were open...self service of course but I will never do that...we were not the only ones frustrated ....the staff at the store are fantastic but service desk staff were not on the ball today and it is a week away from Easter so mayb that was the reason but management has to be ready for those occasions

Why is it getting harder to find brands on your shelves,sick of going to coles to get sliced pickled onions and other things that we could once get. Will be taking my shopping to Coles from now on , money hungry you are and your so called fresh fruit is shocking get it home rotten in 2 days WHY

You have reintroduced talking self checkout machines. I hate them and will not tolerate them. Coles have turned there's off. I'm going from a dedicated Woolworths customer to embrace Coles.

I am international student from India and I am frequent visitor to your stockland Woolworths supermarket at Merrylands. This time when I billed my things and while getting out I had a really bad experience from the security guard who was standing just opposite to the billing place , where I billed my things. He asked me two three times as I billed my things or not. It was really odd that he asked me as if I was going out without billing..there were many others too..still he asked..I felt it really bad and I have to show the bill. It is not at a good customer approach from brand like Woolworths. Really disappointing.

At Undanderra store there is a older 50 plus lady which sometimes is on self serve- this has happened - about 5 times now- while all other staff are friendly helpful and clearly have to supervise this women stalks me- I mean i walk in and she follows a few cms behind and stand over me while i start doing my products- to the point one day i forgot to scan my 15 cent bags- it is intimidating and i feel harassed and can never think straight when people stand over me in a dominating passive aggressive way. Today was no different- I often turn down the volume on the machines as they are so loud i get ahead ache- and i did so today- there is enough noise and activity and I have sensitive hearing and immediately felt the pressure of the noise giving me a headache- this women moved to the exit position but still not watching anyone else but standing in a dominating pose- she then questioned the volume- i politely answered it gives me a headache. i had no intention of being intimidated to turn it back up.

Now here is the thing- i am a mature person- well dressing and had just returned form my church to pick up a few things before going home. I am sure people do steal- and i am sure you should have your staff watching- but this womens repeated targeting of me and aggressive style of physical intimidation is ridiculous- i am not an impoverished person nor a criminal and have worked in juvenile justice.

I am fed up with her- the time was around 1pm- the other staff here are friendly supervise very well but never use intimating body stances or the stalking and over bearing of this woman.

If she is targeting me ever visit perhaps she is doing it to other shoppers- she has no right to judge or treat me in such a manner- i should not feel like a criminal paying for my groceries- i would Never steal- she is the wrong person to do such a job- the type that if you made her a prison warden she would take great joy in making the inmates feel like scum- because that is how she is using her role to make me feel every time i shop there.

I do not wish to be called thank you

Bought chicken on 04/04 at Town Hall n try to use today. It was smelly n slimy. Went to checkout counter n talked to supervisor who told me bring the chicken to show deli staff. Went to counter n explain to this staff who I can’t see her name tag. She was in her defence mode asked me 1. How did I handle the chicken 2. Is my fridge working probably 3. No one complaint except me since she has been working there 4. Why I don’t cook chicken on the date I bought
I’m not looking for argument n want to replace chicken. Told my experience to the checkout supervisor, she is apologetic n replaced for free. I have been shopping with Woolworth many years , this is my first complaint. She was very rude n not deal with professional service.

Regards
Wendy Mackenzie

Just purchased 6 bottles of wine At BWS noosa Village and have never encountered such an abrupt and un helpful
woman, she needs training in customer service. Back to Dan Murphy's for me the staff atr friendly and help pack. Bottles into boxes and even help older people to their car.

I am so flabaghasted with the nightmare of experience I am having with my woolworths ccard. Last year woolworths handed me over for being in arrears without advising me of anything nor did they even contact me with regard to payment of the account....I hv since paid over R10000 into urlls woolworths bank account but according to ur records, it is still reflecting that the last payment that was made was only in November 2018 meanwhile urll kp telling me that ALL my payments hv been updated. Not only that to mk matters worse..after harassing urll to put my payments thru , only two wks ago do I receive a document that states I'm now owing urll an additional interest of R6500 based on ur records indicating that my last payment was only put through in November 2018 when over R10000 is sitting in urlls bank account not processed on the account?Although, Ive complained abt it, the guy in ur finance dept basically kps sending me wrong information n of latest has conveniently tried to pass the buck onto the co that woolworths just handed me over to. I refuse to deal with that co cause if woolworths personell had done their jobs properly to begin with n communicated with me with regds to the status of my acct the same way they telephonically harassed me to take the ccard to begin with.......I wdnt be in this horrific nightmare of an experience to begin with!!....Absolutely flabhaghasted!!

Mildura Langtree Ave Store. I fronted up to checkout at 4.50 Young man started putting my items through. He had trouble locating the asparagus tag on the computer. He checked the spelling with me. Asked if it was a vegetable or fruit. Searched again. He then called for help from a supervisor. Then waited . He apologised to everyone in line and particularly me. He called again. Still no response from the supervisor. The check out girl next door could see he was in trouble so she called for help on his behalf. No one fronted up to assist. After about another four minutes we jointly decided to give up. He apologised profusely. His customer service was nothing short of excellent. Pity the senior staff did not back him up. And please do not tell me it was busy. At five o'clock it will be busy and should be staffed accordingly. And by the way I would suggest the young man is of aboriginal descent and deserves credit for the way he handled the situation at his level.

Today I shopped at your Golden Grove store which I shop at often. I purchased two packets of your Extra soft Jumbo Hamburger rolls with the date on the label stating that they were baked on the 3rd April 2019 and best before 6th April 2019. My husband and I had the rolls for lunch and there is no way these rolls were baked today, they were extremely stale and not at all fresh as indicated by the labelling. I am totally disappointed with this product and feel that your bakery department relabelled the bread rolls so as to sell them. I have frozen the second packet in the hopes that it may freshen the rolls up.

This morning I shopped at your Golden Grove Village Shopping Centre store. I shop here often and have bought items from you bakery on numerous occasions. Today I purchased your home brand Extra soft Jumbo Hamburger rolls packet of 6 which stated on the label that they were baked on 3rd April 2019 and best before 6th April 2019. I purchased two packets of these rolls. There is no way that these rolls were baked today as they were stale. I am most disappointed with your labelling as it was quite obvious that it is false from the taste of these rolls. I opened only one packet placing the other in my freezer, lets hope that by freezing them it may improve the rolls.

We go shopping in a local Woolworths Banyo QLD 4014 nearly every day, we like because has many positive things convenient, products prices, good values and nearly all employees a great.
From the beginning of the opening at the store it was an employee that really not look at me very well considering I am not Australian native may she has a discrimination issue still it is work, she is a customer representative at this store. I through may supervise should be observing her more closely at this particular issue. Maybe she should be working but at other areas that do not require customer representative services if she is not able to handle everyone on an equal matter.

I usually just don't care considering she always so rude it makes me feel like the store it is her house but I am not welcome at it. She is extremely home at her customer services overconfident to customers she accepts. Her customer services may need balance to me she looks like she just feeling at home and haven't differentiated between work and home. If she is rude to me she may definitely be to others that not acceptable by her.

I will never come back to this particular store consider spending $250 around a week at this store and trying to go at night so we will not see this employee. It is not nice if this store losing a regular customer like myself maybe has been others that not want to come back because if this particular employee services body language has a powerful influence on customer representation.
Last I shop here she was absolutely rude so I try to get her name was on her green shirt "LYLY" short solid person, shoulder hair before blond now hair brown always at the store usually were the cigarettes a sold very overconfident with a customer she accepted likely she attended like she still at her launch at home in a visiting mode. Still work is work and when comes to customer service in a big store it needs some professionalism and ethics to treat all customers an equal matter and respect.

This store it is great any other ways any other employees are an absolutely ethic and respectful.

I have bought 2 ladies tops, both made from the same material in the same style. The one I bought about 3 months ago but have only worn it about 6 times. The other one a bought about 3 weeks ago and have worn it about 3 times. Both tops have developed small holes around the tummy area.
This is not the first time that this is happening to tops that I have bought from Woolworths.

I am very disappointed with the quality of the tops. At the price that we pay for the clothing, and the statements that the company makes about the quality of their clothes, I really don't expect this to happen so soon as purchasing them.

Online order number: o726946715
I have ordered a parcel from Woolworths online scheduled to be delivered today, 30 March 2019 between 10:00 and 13:00. It is now 13:50, and no parcel has been delivered.
This is now the second time in 2 weeks that exactly the same thing happened. I am deeply disappointed and unhappy, as I relied on this delivery.
Numerous phone calls to your Centre produced no results as the kind lady who assisted me could not get hold of the DSV Courier driver, as his contact phone was on voicemail.... exactly the same as 2 weeks ago.
Maybe it’s time that Woolworths review using this courier as they are unreliable and giving Woolworths a bad name.

I have ordered LOTS of times in the past, and this has never happened before! Now, with this courier it is the 2nd time in 2 weeks. This is absolutely unacceptable!
Please advise when I can expect delivery of my parcel as soon as possible, thank you....
