food poisoning
A couple of days ago my mother bought salmon from woolworths which gave her such severe food poisoning that she fainted in her bathroom and was knocked unconscious. She now has a broken hand, and a gash on her lip and head. She will also have to undergo an operation to put pins in her hand and may miss a trip to China she was due to go on this week. Two months prior to this I bought chicken at woolworths and when I opened the package that night, it was clear from the smell the chicken was rancid. I took the chicken back the next day and complained. How many people will have to be poisoned before woolworths does something about their obvious lack of food hygiene?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
customer safety not important to woolworths
On Monday 24th August at 4.45pm, I was shopping at Woolworths in Constantia Village when a ceiling board fell and landed right next to me. If I hadn't moved out of the way, I would have been seriously injured. The shoppers around me were horrified and the maintenance manager just apologised and removed the board. I reported the incident to the manager, Clive Goodman who apologised but didnt take my details. He advised me that he had requested signage from Head Office the previous week to 'apologise to the customers for the inconvenience caused by the construction work.' The store has been under construction since June 2009 and it still doesnt have signage in place warning customers that 'they are entering at their own risk' or that 'their safety cannot be guaranteed'. I explained to Clive Goodman and the manager of the store who phoned me on Tuesday 25th, that that was a breach of safety regulations and that Woolworths' customers have a right to be warned about their safety when shopping at the store. I also lodged a complaint with Head Office on Tuesday 25th, ref no [protected]-[protected]. To date, there has been no feedback and the signs have still not been erected at the store.
girls who work there behave as if they are doing you a favor
I went to Woolies Sandton on Saturday to exchange my purchase. I was with a friend and got to customer services and qued. Assistant T. Mamabolo didn't bother to tell me to come through I had to ask her, ok do you think a simple 'HOW CAN I HELP YOU' would come out of her mouth? No I started explaining because I realised madam fifi aint going to ask. She did...

on monday the 18th of july 2016 i purchased 1 kilo of your chicken drumsticks. when i got home i went to separate and bag them up, there was a very strong odour coming from the bag smelling of prawns or some other seafood, cross contamination is the big concern i have, and i am hoping you will address this issue, before someone gets seriously ill ... i have a child that is allergic to all seafood, so there needs to be action taken in this matter ...

Dear Woolworths
On Wednesday 19/08/2015 I had for lunch a small tub of Woolworths home brand Low Fat Soup Home Style Lamb & Barley the expiry date was to the 28th August 2015.
Upon having this for lunch I noticed straight away after eating it, my belly started disagreeing with it and stomach pains started to come on and from midday to 3:30pm finish work I was in such a bad state and witnessed by my current employer.
Driving home was a very painful experience. After arriving home I tried to shower as best I could and then tried to sleep it off but instead I found myself only to start vomiting and this went on threw the night until I couldn't take the pain any longer and call my friend to take me to the hospital the time was 10.30pm in the evening 10 and a half hour of agonising abdominal pains and constant vomiting.
On arrival to Royal North Shore hospital I was immediately taken care of after giving them information of my condition, A dose of morphine, 3 drip bags and 4 hours later the pain started to stop and then I was released from hospital.
Was unable to work the following day because of belly pains and lost a days income, plus medical expenses for medication and the time my friend brought me to the hospital waited for me and then drove me home safe, I would like very much to be compensated for this total unnecessary inconvenience and the pain and suffering of this whole ordeal
Total expense's
1 Days Labour $400.00
Medication $200.00
Friends Help $750.00
Pain and Suffering $8.650.00
Total $10, 000.00

I bought a piece of SaddleTail Snapper from Woolworths today. The Snapper Looked nice and Fresh and was $28/kg. I cooked it for dinner tonight for my partner and I. I must admit, I thought it didn't smell quite right as I removed it from the wrapping. The fish tasted absolutely horrible and we threw it away. I'm not one to complain, but this was very disappointing. I paid good money for a nice piece of fish and we are now both quite ill.
