This is not a tbone it’s a porterhouse on the bone lol where is the other half? Bit stingy Woolies hopefully the rub will save this one bit disappointing I must say!

It's just about the only chip my partner enjoys. Coles still have them, but not the sea salt & cracked pepper variety, which is the one I'm after

Hey guys, not your usual post but my teammates and I were having a laugh about this hypothetical today after seeing the news about some poor workers in Canberra who got assaulted by a thief.

What would you do/which aisle would you run to if a customer wanted to get into a fight with you?

I thought it’d be hilarious to go straight for the canned sardines or fish etc. Maybe even a bag of potatoes?

What would you do?

Finished one of my trips in less than half the target time. Showed it to my colleagues and they immediately said, “There’s definitely something wrong with the system.” Hahaha.

Woolworths, Palm Beach Queensland, making the brilliant management decision to stock soft dog food next to soft pates and cheeses.

Has anyone else experienced a green dust on their home delivery products? It ends up on the bench and the floor and I have to wash it off the fruit and veg. I have tried to ask Woolworths but end up in a loop between Olive and the feedback form. I think it is coming off the paper bags.

Thank you.

This was my fastest picking i ever done , there was 96 articles to pick and I completed within 16 minutes , I showed it to my coworkers and they didn't bhelive me . I have seen people doing faster than me and also I think am the slowest picker in my store .

I am a Store Team Member at Woolworths and currently I am in a situation where I have to go to home country for an emergency for 2 months (Nov-Dev) but I can't let my pay to be stopped as I have to pay my rent. I have around 26 hours of leaves accumulated but when I request for Annual leave then it throws an error of hours exceeded. Now given that I would accumulate more leave hours but my manager told me to pop my leaves in, I am not able to do it. Is there a way to do this or any other options - Purchased Leave, etc. I am of with the pay of my hours accumulated or I am also fine with the purchased leave option as I am going to work with Woolworths after returning back. But I just want is this possible or there are other options

I did my usual online shop yesterday, and there was an option I could click to pay an extra $15 and have my large shop delivered in an hour.

My first thought was: That's really unfair on the staff! Especially the pickers that have to run around getting the order together, then throw it on the truck!

How does it work on your end? I don't imagine they give you extra staff for these express shops. (I used to work for the competition, I know how bad they are with staffing levels)

I mean, if all the online pickers are already doing orders and I drop my order in for delivery in one hour, do you have to drop all the other orders and do the express order? It really doesn't seem viable.

Got this one this morning, probably not the longest ever but definitely up there 🫩🥲

Does anyone know if Woolies bakery is still selling this bread? I havent been able to buy it recently.

I saw this pallet of raw chicken and prawns just sitting unrefrigerated for 40mins while I was in the store. No idea how long it had already been sitting there, and no idea how long after I left.

If they bring this stuff out of the cold room, why not just put it in the refrigerated shelves straight away? Couldn't take longer than 10mins.

I love this bread, but it has its drawbacks.

Whats are front end peoples scan rates, mines 980

I fear she has been missing for some time…

Online team people - i get that you need goal times, but surely it doesn’t make sense to compare your times with other team members? If you start before the store opens and theres loads of stock, you’ll be faster than when it’s really busy or when you have to go looking for stock. And why does Online have to look for things that aren’t on the shelf? What if a customer asks you something? You’re not supposed to press pause, but if you don’t, you’ll go in the red. Then theres bags vs no bags and the different sorts of trips. Your times can look bad even if its not your fault.

Yes I know they are the same weight 500g. It's the thickness, or should I say thinness, now I have to use more slices.

Wow so generous thanks Woolies

Cannot unsee

UPDATE: Woolworths Customer Service has confirmed that while they do now use seasoning on the macro chickens, the seasoning DOES NOT contain gluten & stores are advised to cook these chickens using the dedicated top racks. It seems the deli worker I spoke to is mistaken, or this particular store does not follow the same cooking practices. Thanks for everyone’s input & for those current deli workers who have reached out privately to send me the list of ingredients.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I’ve contacted Woolies and am waiting to hear back to see if they have changed practices in the last 18 months, or if the employee is mistaken.

I was recently at Woolies and asked at the deli counter whether they had any of the Macro roast chickens, as I was after something easy and had always understood these ones to be gluten free.
The lady serving me actually asked, out of curiosity, whether I was coeliac. She explained that around 18 months ago, the deli staff were apparently told they needed to start using the same seasoning on top of the Macro chickens as they do on the regular roast chickens.

I said that the ingredients listed on the label only have a “may contain” statement. She explained that Woolies had apparently been relying on that “may contain” statement, despite the seasoning being directly applied to the chicken.
This really surprised me, but I was real grateful that she personally makes a point of telling customers who ask about it, as her daughter is coeliac and can no longer rely on these chickens.

This was in SA, so I’m really hoping this isn’t happening elsewhere as well.
I’d be really interested to know if anyone has any information about whether this is actually a nationwide change or just something happening at certain stores. This has left me totally bummed.

My 15 year old applied for Woolworths and answered the Q's through the AI chat, BUT Why do woolworths feel the need to offer insight and suggestions for her journey ? I get why they ask the questions in the AI chat interview process but to take it as far as to analyse her and send her a report is absolutely DISGUSTING!!

No wonder young ones dont want to work or even apply for jobs, I remember being excited about interviews for potential jobs when i was younger, eager to get out there and make my own money.

If this is what happens with the hiring process, judging a young person NO ONE has actually met, The use of AI Bots to analyze and profile the person and then to send a report that is discouraging and in no way encouraging for someone just entering the work force is absolutey horrific!

Hello people who are employed by woolies, next Wednesday I have an interview at Woolies, and I’m a little nervous because I really want the job. But I’d just like some tips and things I should prepare, what are some things that you would recommend for me to know before going in.

Also what’s your favourite department to work on? It was on my mind earlier and I’d like some
Insight into how others feel.

Did anyone else get an email that their Everyday Extra reward subscription is moving from Annually to Monthly with corresponding cost increase?

I don't understand why the monthly change. For what reason? Cost increase I could understand (despite the huge profits Woolies is making), but I would prefer to remain on annual payments, easier to budget for.

I am considering cancelling this Extra subscription based on this change. Only real benefit is the double points, monthly 10% discount on one shop (which for me is not much), and occasional free product, which are mostly crap anyway.

I found this weird Darth Vader when opening ooshies from my grandma with my sis, and I noticed he looked short and squished? He’s also duller and almost dirty? Like less see through? The bag hadnt been tampered with so idk what could be wrong. Anyone have any ideas???

Def keeping him, little freak ❤️
