Woolworths South Africa

I bought a Chicken Ceasar Wrap at Columbine Square last week and the chicken inside was raw. Please find attached pics of the raw wrap as well as the slip should you require it.

This was bought last week Thursday, 16 May at 9:40.

This was part of many meals/ lunches bought for our executive management team and to top it all off the lady that received this exact meal is pregnant (as you know pregnant people CAN NOT eat are meat let alone raw chicken!). I am appalled at this level of quality from Woolworths!. Sis!

Please advise on how this can be rectified?

And also how will I know I wont receive raw food again in future?

What are the quality checks involved in these 'ready made/ deli' meals.

I placed an online Woolworths Dash order on 15-04-24 under order #o1358949204 which amount to 1174.25. At 17h50 on same day, I received a call from Woolworths advising me that they cannot do delivery on and agreed to do delivery the morning of 16-04-24. On 16-04-24 at 13h00, I contacted their call centre since I never received the delivery, I was then informed that they cancelled my order and will do a refund. On 19-04-24 I followed up on my refund and was told they forgot to process my refund. This morning. [protected]), I was I informed that their refund take 7-14 days to reflect in my account. HOW DISAPPOINTING FROM WOOLWORTHS TO TREAT THEIR REGULAR CUSTOMER'S LIKE THIS! WILL NEVER EVER USE THEIR SERVICE AGAIN!

I bought 2 x R400 gift vouchers on behalf of myself and my daughter for my sister at Woolworths Kolonnade on 11 January 2024. I made one payment for R800 but wanted two separate vouchers. When my sister wanted to use the vouchers on Friday 23 January 2024, the cashier informed her that the one card is not valid. The receipt and the card number did not correspond. I insisted on seeing the camera recordings of the day I bought the vouchers but was informed its only kept for 7 days. How the hell! who uses vouchers within 7 days. I received both envelopes with the gift cards from the cashier when I bought it on 11 January 2024 and handed it to my sister without opening it. When my sister called me on 23 Feb when she was having trouble using the vouchers, they did not want to accept me speaking to them on the phone and said I had to come in personally. I had to drive all the way to Kolonnade. I was helped by Florence who called the "manager" Kabu. She was very rude and spoke in an African language with her colleagues and when I am asking questions in English she will either ignore me or answer only afterwards. After about an hour, she said she is going to cancel that gift card so ensure that nobody uses it and will lodge an investigation to see whether the card was used and will phone me back on Monday 26 Jan. Nobody phoned me and I had to follow up constantly. I phoned again today at 11:39. I spoke to Florence and she said she will call the manager Itu. I was kept on the phone for 17minutes before Itu spoke to me. When I was referring to last week Friday, Itu told me she was not on duty and that Kabo was not a manager, but when I asked to speak to a manager on Friday 23 Feb, the lady told me she is the manager. Itu told me that she will follow up with Head Office and when I asked her for the email address or phone number of the investigating dept at Woolworths head office, she said they do not speak to the dept and can only email. She said I can only lodge a complaint online. I am furious that a loyal customer of Woolworths is treated this way. I am furious that the issue was not resolved in the time frame I was promised, I am furious and embarrassed because my sister wants to buy clothing for a special event and could not do so with the vouchers we gave her. I am furious that your staff do not know how to treat customers. I am furious because I have to write this complaint and is the one who has to constantly follow up. Why was I not treated fairly? I am disgusted with Woolworths and will post on every social media platform and hello Peter until someone takes the time to solve this complaint. My phone number is at the Kolonnade Woolworths Customer Care - but also here it is [protected]. I will attached the other gift card that is valid, but the one that is in dispute is with Customer Care Woolworths Kolonnade.

After all these years of being a customer to woollies it with great regret to say that I don't see myself doing business with them again just because of the poor service I received from Tebogo at fourways mall and to my disbelief when I requested to speak to a manager they made me speak with the camera security personnel as the manager had apparently all gone to attend to a funeral, still finding it hard to understand up to now how such a big shop cannot have even one manager at a given time.

I received notification about a cash back promotion WOOLWORTHS FINANCIAL SERVICES were running dated 8 November - "spend R1750 on my card and receive R650 cash back to spend in-store". This promotion was a nightmare from start to finish. The store knew nothing about the promotion. I was kept waiting while they verified with Woolworths who confirmed the promotion was valid - I spent R1800 and was told the voucher would appear on my rewards about a week later. Nothing except other vouchers for more money to be spent to receive vouchers appeared on my rewards. I contacted Woolworths and after being shunted from pillar to post still no joy so I wrote on FB page and was told there had been an issue with cash back promotions and that these would be available after 14 December. Still nothing. I then received an e-mail to state that they had sent me an SMS message (immediately after I spent the R1800) to say that the voucher would be available on my rewards. I did receive the SMS but no voucher! They stated that the voucher was valid until end November and therefore they had no records to see whether I had in fact received the voucher! I DID NOT RECEIVE THE VOUCHER! I have been phoning continually since NOVEMBER to try and have this sorted out and again being shunted from pillar to post ... Please help! R1800 is a lot of money to spend!

Good day, three years ago I slipped on yogurt spilled yogurt in Woolworths Grove, Windhoek Namibia. I almost broke my knee. A meter a way from the spilled yogurt was an employee busy packing the fridge. I pointed out the spilled yogurt to him. He just looked at me and continued with his work.

I was in so much pain, but continued my shopping, I went back to check if the spill was cleaned and it still wasn't. I informed the manager and told him I almost broke my knee. He just looked at me and continued what he was busy with.

I had to leave the store and go sit outside crying of pain.

No one came to me and checked if I was okay.

Till date Woolworths didnt even apologize to me or compensated me.

Thats how arrogant they are.

Google Morning,

I have always been able to find bras in my size at Woolworths for years, but yesterday I went to the Canal Walk store, and was told that Woolworths has discontinued their range of Balconette bras. I am an unfortunate 34DD, which is hard to find. Woolworths was great for bigger breast sizes and even has marketed doing DD+ sizes.

I can't understand, when I look at multiple shoppers around me with the same problem, of large breast sizes.

I am a size 10 and don't want to wear Boulder holders, so please can you bring back the sexier bras?

We purchased this product from WW Hibiscus Mall yesterday 21 November 2023.

I purchase this product every week from the same shop and has been since it opened and prior to that from Shelley Beach.

I purchase from WW due to their high quality standards and freshness.

The sell by date is 23 Nov.2023.

The butternut was tasteless, half cooked. Not even the 2 minutes in the microwave improved it.

Please look into this. I will not be purchasing this product again until I have heard from you neither will my friends that had dinner with us last night.

Kind regards

Dear Woolworths Management

I am not Jewish; I belong to no religion. I think religion is probably the biggest threat to humankind.

I do however think your stance on Israel is disappointing. Most of the people supporting Hamas, and I mean that, Hamas. They say Palestine but its Hamas.

By bowing down to their demands, you have entered the political fray and taken sides I'm afraid.

I hope that your staff from the LGBTQ+ groups, Christians etc, don't mind you taking sides of terrorists that are completely intolerant of everyone who is non- Muslim. This is also extended to all Muslims not belonging to the Sunni sect.

You have bowed down to terrorists and their supporters.

I will not be shopping at Woolies anymore. I hope that your supporters of Hamas are as loyal to you as the rest of us were.

On Tuesday 31st October 2023 I received a call from the lady by the name of Unathi i don't know her surname but she called from the number [protected]

She told me that Woolworths has a credit on my name of the amount of R680 that is due to me, I closed my Woolworths account 10 years ago. she took my banking details and told me that i should get the money within 5 working days and if money is not in i must call their helpline which when i called they told me they do not pick up anything on my name.

Please note that they called i did not know anything about money from them i want answers and i want that money promised to me by Unathi

Awaiting for you quick response

On the 3rd of November, evening. Your staff member commented on a post by discriminating against the Hindu culture and how we should celebrate our auspicious days. This goes against the Bill of Rights as she is discriminating our culture, our beliefs and scriptures. Many people have an issue with this. We are currently reporting her to the SAHMS for religious intolerance.

We have no idea how Woolworths can employ such a person and allow a person to represent your company while causing havoc on a public platform by threatening people, fabricating stories and bullying people.

I did my underwear shopping the Saturday before at Sandton City…I’m very disappointed that one of the panties I wore for the first time yesterday is of bad quality and not expected from Woolies at all. The finishings are terrible…long strings of cotton from the lace at the vaginal cloth and the tag itself is literally hanging on by a thread. What I waste of money, if I wanted to buy a sub-standard item I would have went to a much cheaper store and gotten a pack of panties for the price of the one panty. You have lost your standards and will be loosing customers if you keep this up! One does not expect this from Woolies…fix it! See attached

We have been purchasing rice cakes from Woolworths for a number of years now & have had no issue's concerning the product, until over a year ago. I shop at the Soneike branch in Kuilsriver & I have mentioned it to a number of managers over the year plus regarding the non uniformity of the cake due to crumbling effect & disintegrating when applying a spread on the cake. But to date no action has been taken on their behalf concerning the complaint.

I have also noticed that there is possibly no quality checks applied concerning the product until a complaint is received which would be compatible with other stores that boast about their products.

Hopefully the problem will be addressed.

Regards,

Alfred O'Neill.

I don't have the receipt anymore.

Went into Woolworths Greenacres store.

Got the worst service ever.

Consultants standing chit chatting loudly while customers are made to wait for hours. It was really one of the worst experiences I've had going into a Woolworths store. I was made to wait for hours, sent from pillar to post just to open a new account.

The consultants behind the desk, was passing food around and laughing loudly whilst customers were waiting to be helped.

After spending nearly 4 hours in the centre, (after being told to come back in an hour) nothing was resolved.

The Woolworths I remember growing up with has now gone to the dogs.
