Isle complety blocked by woolworths workers
Over the last few months i have been so frustrated with woolworths when i go to your stores in NSW or SA, a simple task of trying to to even get down some of your isles with a trolley is so frustrating, when your staff are packing shelves or selecting groceries for online customers do you think they would have the decency to locate their trolley/carts to one side of the isle for your customers to keep moving. So frustrating when the whole isle is blocked by your staff and you continually have to stop and wait for them to finish their task, what is even worse is that they see you waiting and just keep doing their task and dont even try and move to the side of the isle to keep traffic flowing. Do you think you could add this to your training sessions for your staff because it is very frustaing and slows down your customers.
Woolworths - Mountain bread wraps that had mould on them for replacement.
I was treated appalling by a staff member when asking for a replacement because I didn’t have a receipt. They were dated April 28th (purchased three days previously). Because I had opened them up. I explained that we check our receipts when we get home and usually bin them (which she said she does the same thing). We don’t always use a card (only on large...
Read full review of WoolworthsBeef eye fillet steak
I shop at Woolworths Glenmore Park NSW Australia. I have Coles and Aldi all in the same complex, but I have been loyal to Woolworths which I have shopped at for more than 30 years.
Today 28/01/24 I was shopping and saw Beef Eye Fillet steaks the clearance rack with a special sticker on them. I put three packets in my trolley.
When checking out I questioned why I was charged the marked price. I asked them to check, and I was told that marked price wad the clearance special price? This was the full price I normally pay.
Why would they put these steaks on a clearance racked with stickers on them marked on special?
Desired outcome: That someone will care that this is not the right way to treat a loyal customer.

Security guards
I arrived at Woolworths Alice springs at 7.15pm only to be ordered to promptly leave by two security guards, who shouted at me rudely and aggressively telling me the Woolworths that used to be open till midnight was now shut at 7pm. It wasn't the fact that it was shutting much earlier than expected it was the unnecessarily rude and angry approach seeing as the carpark was open with cars inside. Woolworths should teach their security guards how to be polite and reasonable to the customers. I am going to Coles after this horrible experience.
Desired outcome: I would like Woolworths to train their security guards to be more normal and polite in their manners and ways.

Fresh cream filled donuts.
I bought these on the 19th January, and once we had eaten 5 , I looked at the container they came in, and it is absolutely disgusting. I have Radiation Colitis, and this is my ultimate nightmare.I seriously cannot believe someone could not have seen this.
I’m not sure what else you need , these photos show the absolute disgrace on the bottom of this tray , the filth sitting in the grooves and the centre badge.
Desired outcome: I would like more than a refund.

Bad policy
After spending $200 on shopping I needed cash out, but not enough in till, so sent to service desk to queue again, only to be told I would have to purchase something else to get cash out and queue again. I am elderly and have vision problems which is why I get cash out and shop at Woolworths.. I feel this is discriminatory and totally unfair to loyal shoppers. I think this policy should be revoked and customers related in a humane and fair way

No Australia Day goods
Your decision to take away customers choice to buy or not to buy Australia Day merchandise, is a very poor one.
Why would you not let the customers decide?
Corporations should stay out of politics and stick to what they know.
You have lost me as a customer, I have not set foot inside one of your stores since and intend not to in future.
PS I do not believe that sales in this merchandise were decreasing, in fact based on the voice resounding NO vote, l am sure it would have been the opposite.
Claimed loss: It’s your loss not mine
Desired outcome: Woolworths to stay out of politics and give customers the choice.

Lack of Australia Day support in stores.
Happy Diwali is covered by your stores.
Happy Ramadan is also covered.
Your stores have dumped Australia dsy, yet you trade in Australia, and expect to trade with Australian people.
Your removal of Australia Day support while you support celebrations of other cultures is incomprehensible and disgraceful.
You are losing the support of many previously loyal customers.
People ARE talking about this, make no mistake.
Claimed loss: Loss of Australian culture.
Desired outcome: Please do not remove Australian cultural celebration support while supporting foreign cultures while in Australia.

Woolworths - Credit card
I called Woolworth to stop my card and also order a new card. When I called I went through telephonic prompts that led me to the credit card option. SPOKE TO AN AGENT THAT WAS RUDE AND WITH BAD SERVICE. What was bad is he asked me I want to stop which card because I have many accounts. WHAT IS THAT. I choose credit card option and I specifically said I...
Read full review of WoolworthsIncorrect special
DISAPPOINTED! I have being shopping here for 5 years +, but the staff were rude beyond, the lady from the change room, screamed at us ,she was not professional and was arrogant,like this weekend was the black november special and when I was purchasing an item today [27/11/2023] they stated it was the last day for the special but because I was paying when it was they closing time, they refused to give me the item that was on special! The manager was removing the special boards while there were customers! I am a retail manager but I do not treat customers the way they behaved! We all work hard for our money and customer service is important but I am disappointed for being treated this way and I guess, I will never step in that woolworths again because of the service from the staff! They need proper training and do not to be in a rush and arrogant, while customers are still in store! We all work hard for our money but patience is important and shows customers ,that the service is good!
Desired outcome: To train staff and get my discount
Bad service - store manager
yesterday when shopping at Revesby, i saw a discounted ticket on the Pedigree dry food 8 KG, I bought but discovered the price was not as per discounted, i spoke with staff they want and could not see the discounted price, so i went and got it for them, I was demanding as per Woolworth policy to get it for free. store manager (Saleeb) was very aggressive and unprofessional and refused and threatened to ban me from store. after negotiation i was given the price discounted to keep me quiet and they destroyed all evidence.
attached are the two receipts to prove my point. I was planning to make a police complaint due to the aggressive threatening language used.
Desired outcome: displume staff store manager (Saleeb), get item for free as per Woolworth policy.
Primo
The last two packages of Primo Ham have been off M [protected] H69037 this is a bad product. I have had Grasto since eating this Ham. Woolworths asked me to do a survey about these products I thought this was strange, but I pulled out because went on and on. I will never buy this product again nothing but bad HAM, also I am trying to get medication to get back to normal. I am not happy with Woolies in Cooloola Cove just a mess.
Free range chicken
I bought 2 packets of the breast fillet bulk pack of free range chicken which are due to expire 13/11/23 ($14/kg and one pack was 0.957 and the other of similar weight). This morning I cooked this chicken and it smelt so bad I had to toss it. It is unacceptable to spend close to $30 just to throw out the food. I usually shop online and get my food delivered but this time I purchased from the Roselands store.
Claimed loss: Approx $30
Desired outcome: Replacement or refund
Chicken poor defeathering
I bought chicken wings on the 10th of November 2023 and discovered lots of feather remains something unlike what I have seen since I bought wings in Goulburn before I took a photo of the package and the product and if you need to review it please let me know. With such incompetence I’m reconsider my shopping at Woolworths. If you need to contact me please do on my email address: [protected]@gmail.com
Desired outcome: Please refund
Woolworths - concerns about product removals and pricing practices
Dear Woolworths, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to bring to your attention some concerns I've been experiencing as a loyal customer. Recently, I've noticed a pattern of affordable products, like LA ICE COLA 2 L, being removed from your shelves. This, coupled with what seems like frequent and substantial price increases on various items, ha...
Read full review of WoolworthsOnline orders
I’ve done two online orders this week. For both you processed and actual charge and put a pending charge hold on my account. The first time your customer service tried to blame the bank for putting me onto your ‘post pick pay’ system then told me your system randomly puts people on this system but they have taken me off. The second time I was told I was not on the post pick pay system but the only way they could investigate the issue was if I gave them the first 6 and last 3 digits of my credit card. They couldn’t even give me a hypothetical explanation for how it could happen and they couldn’t put me through to the complaints team. They gave me a phone number that is only manned in business hours.
Claimed loss: $390
Desired outcome: Fix the system
