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 the whole transaction without uttering a single word. Once done she turned around and started walking towards the side door, left me still standing there. My friend who I was with commented on the disgusting service we have just received, I was like no I'm used to this **** as I shop there almost every day.

This has become a normality with Woolies service, those girls who work there behave as if they are doing you a favour. The other day another one told me it's 17:50, so I need to get out of the store as they want to knock off. In the end I am going to stop shopping there completely.

A girl called Tash works at The EG PETROL STATION IN SEVILLE WARBURTON HWY. I regularly get my petrol from there & every time she serves me she’s rude, grumpy & not helpful. Not good for business

I love shopping on line with woolworths.

My last order contained diced beef casserole 500g.

I was dismayed to find that 110g of this was just fat off cuts. I took a picture as I was so shocked.

I understand fat is flavour but come on now…not over 100g.

Hi I bought some finish ultra plus dishwashing tablets from Woolworths kingsway in Western Australia. It wasn’t until I got home and I went through my receipt. I had been charged full price for the dishwashing tablets when the sign said 1/2 price. I’d like to reimbursed the difference please

I was charged 3 x for one box of red rock deli chip packets and in the same transaction charged twice for fresh garlic ($29kg) for one white onion. Absolutely ridiculous. Starting to think staff are trained to do this to add to the ever growing profit of Woolworths!

Peppercorn Extra Lean GF

Sausages used to be fantastic. My last batch cooked into much smaller sausages with gristle and tough with skin being stringy. Simply put very low quality. I loved these.

Was told that Macro Psyllium husks have been discontinued and no longer available in Melbourne.

As customers who rely on this essential health product can we find out why?

Highly annoying.

These are in a packet double the size of the contents giving the impression that they are much bigger than they are. At $10 a packet for 4 -$2.50 each for these mini bars is daylight robbery. they should be ashamed of themselves.

I have been purchasing little ones nappies for a while now and have been satisfied until now, the size 6 nappies pull yag to do up get coming undone, in the latest packet the filling is separated with balls of filling in clumps.

They are unusable.

I purchased 1kg of mince on Tuesday the 1st of November, I went to use it on the Wednesday (2nd November) and it was off. The best before date was the 4th. The mince was expired before I could even use it. I wasted $16

I had bought a pair of sandals for my 2 year old within 1 week the strap tore.

Very unacceptable as I had paid R220 for it.

Hi Team,

I ordered Tavice Playstation 4 controller Ps4 Compatible, online order #EM0491805, and it just got delivered. The strange thing is that the box is not only open but it looks like it is smashed. I am attaching the photos. I am unsure if it is working or not, because the item looks damaged.

It didn't work.
So without any notice my order was cancelled! NOT good enough!

Not happy about your tinned fruit from overseas. If you are going to label it as Woolworths support Australian product

I bought this cake for our dessert this afternoon. I cut a slice and I started eating the slice tonight and encountered some small crunchy bits that didn't seem right. I turned on the loungeroom light to inspect and found i had been munching on egg shells! Totally ruined my dessert experience! Very disappointing Woolworths Alexandra Hills!

Gift cards not working Christmas Eve and two day's later still not working. Wonder how many people were relying on them and had their Christmas ruined.

I don't want to complain about the product, just that it's been taken off the shelf and it's the best Pad Thai! The other Marion's Kitchen are also great and I have been buying them from you. I contacted Marion Grasby and her only advice was to contact Woolworths. Please bring it back to Woolies Yeppoon! Thank you.

Any reason why woolies brand mineral water went up 15cents last week? Soda water only went up by 10 cents for the recycling charge.

All this water is sitting outside the Woolworth's petrol station, baking in the hot afternoon sun when the label clearly says it should be stored in a cool place away from direct sunlight. I assume this is to prevent chemicals from leaking into the water. Perhaps a word the manager in the turramurra...

Is this a hoax or a real text message from Woolworths?
Not opening link until I know if it's real or hoax!

I purchased a Starter Pack 24/11/2018 and have been unable to make calls or receive any. I have tried activating the SIM but have not been successful to date (28/11/2018). The SIM is not recognised by another mobile so I assume that it is faulty?
