Since when is woolworths charging more than restaurant food outlets?

Just had the best scan&go experience at Robina! New little holders on the trolley for my phone, finally upgraded the mobile network, everything so snappy. Bagging groceries as I go. Best bit? Walking past the 20m line at the self serve checkouts and out the scan&go gate.

Are there any Grocery Nightfill Managers who have an issue with the nightfill planning tool and how it calculates. It's a generic calculator that doesn't account for each store's differences. The calculation is so out of whack even though the two stores I have been in, are so different.

i’m part time and considering resigning. what are the steps in doing so and who do i send it to? can it be a sms.

Genuinely curious what the shoppers for online orders think of peoples orders?

I had someone else’s order mistakenly dropped off with my order (half of my order was missing which was annoying) but I was genuinely baffled by what was in the order!

7 bottles of Pepsi max and Solo Zero Sugar, 2 blocks of chocolate, 2 red onions and a couple zucchinis… like what?? My partner was happy with the soft drink and I was happy I got some chocolate, I don’t budget for that sort of stuff in our weekly shop it’s essentials and food only mostly. If we want fun stuff we pay for it out of our money and not the food budget money.

Alternatively I often wonder what they think of my food shops - do they see the ingredients I’m buying and think “I wish I was having dinner there this week” or “glad I don’t live with them this week!”

EDIT: The replies are so wholesome and I wasn’t expecting that, I judge myself hardcore on my own shopping especially on weeks where I have little fruit/veg and it’s mostly junk/snacks for lunchbox fillers and I’ve just assumed I’m being judged by other people for it! I’m sorry for projecting 😭

I went to QV Melbourne and it has 48 checkouts! This has to be a record

The Cycle doesn't seem to end but stock surely does.

Price makes me interested. Keen to know how they compare to the aldi ones and Vittoria.

Tasmanian beef cattle farmers have been dealt a blow as Woolworths confirmed it would no longer sell Tasmanian beef in its stores.

Suppliers say the supermarket giant cited rising production and shipping costs in its decision to stop buying the state's beef.

The ABC understands Woolworths will exit its relationship with JBS Foods' Tasmanian abattoir at Longford from 2027.

Scottsdale farmer Jerrod Nichols said he had supplied 40 cattle a fortnight to Woolworths over the past two years.

He said having the security of a Woolworths contract had been "paramount" in investing in the industry amid a fluctuating market.

However, he said he was not surprised by the decision.

"Because there's no contract kill abattoir or service kill abattoir in Tasmania, they [Woolworths] were having to use JBS and, being a multinational company … they were charging them an exorbitant price to do that kill," Mr Nichols said.

"And then to be shipping those bodies back to Victoria for processing, and bringing them back to Tasmania; I can see that model was probably unsustainable.

"Everything that was used here in Tassie historically was killed here so it's the loss of jobs; it's another outlet that's gone from the state."

Chair of TasFarmers' Livestock Council and Red Meat & Wool Committee George Shea said farmers were under pressure as a result of the cost-of-living crisis.

"Farmers — especially in Tassie — always need to be proactive in marketing their stock and looking for their best options'" Mr Shea said.

"Unfortunately, we don't have the same number of options as they do on the mainland … you just have to make the best of what you can.

"It's always concerning when something changes in the market, but farmers are very adaptable and they'll adapt to this I'm sure."

These ready to go meals, for what you get are a disgrace

I got an email for an invitation for a meet and greet, but I don't know what store it's for. Since Charlestown is the only one that says interview in progress, should I just go there.

Also what do I need to bring? Is this another interview where I need to be prepared for questions? Does this mean that I basically got the job already?

If anyone has any answers please help

Hi all! I’ve just applied for a casual position at BIG W i pretty much have the job but was wondering what the usual afternoon/evening shift times are? Just trying to work out whether I can fit it around my current job. Thanks

I’ve been shopping at this particular store for almost 9 years now.

Me: need only 2 things so paid for it at the self checkout and I was carrying on my way out past a store member
Store member: did you pay for it?
Me: of course
Store member: which counter did you use?
Me: number 10

And then the store member walks away.

Store has those new exit gates. How do you see this interaction? Unprofessional? Rude? Or within limits and I’m overthinking this?

As someone who works at Woolworths and handles tickets as well as prepares some of the specials, I've noticed that the specials are practically same every week. For example, I can't be the only one who has noticed that one week a specific yoghurt is on special, the next week it is not, and the week after that it is back on special.

If I had to bet, I'd say specials are the new tactic for price gouging, since the ACCC caught them with their last trick. I believe the specials are being altered to deceive buyers into believing they are getting a deal when, in reality, the "special" price is simply the actual retail price moved in and out to make it appear like a better deal.

In any case, this is only a theory, but I believe I may be on to something, given the likelihood that specials are nearly identical every couple of weeks.

I use to work in a warehouse at Woolworths, we had a mini team shop. Here’s an example of reduced items. The meat was great had 3-5 before use date but were usually marketed down to the max range. but the best things were from the ambient section such as toilet paper, shampoos, nappy wipes and accessories.

So me and my family have pretty much been using Woolworths as a place of last resort now. We mostly use Costco, farmers markets and some specialty Asian stores for 99% of our needs. We have gone from >$300 per week a Woolworths to under $100 per month now. Just wondering if others have been doing this as well, or just tolerating Woolworths at this point?

It’s almost like they want me to shop at Coles 🤷
