Woolworths discrimination by staff when serving

The Para Hills store has several young females who choose to discriminate, against middle aged men. It has happened on several occasions but to day was blatantly the worst,
At 3.23 PM I was going to the checkout when you young girl put out the closed register sign, so I moved to the the single open aisle, a couple of minutes later a lady got in line behind me and the young staff member reopened the aisle and asked the woman who had just got in line to use her aisle, the lady looked at me then said I was first when something was mumbled, so I told the young lady no you take it, as it was obvious that this said young employee had no intention of serving me, for what, well the only thing that it could be was I was a man in my fifties, it was blatant and not the first time .There seems to be a real attitude problem in this store which is why I now do most of my shopping at your competitors.
I will be seeing if I can take this further.
Check the video, it was around 3.23 and I'm the guy wearing the Navy shirt with embroidery on the back of a ship I served on.
I do believe she deserves to be sacked because customer service is no place for this kind of attitude, I eagerly await your reply

Woolworths fried chicken chinese wings

Bought some chicken for my lunch at the woolworths in Richmond and its was still raw inside.
Having limited time for lunch (30mins) I was not able to have any lunch.
I have never encountered any issues with your products as I buy whole chicken regularly and recently the new portuguese one.

Woolworths staff member

I had a puncture and needed to put some air in my tyre but the car of the staff member of the petrol station with plate number 952 VUV (white Toyota) was parked in customer area and prevented me to use the machine. He was rude when I asked if they knew who owned the car, and responded to me: "it's mine, wait". I waited outside for 20mn and he never came out to move his car. Unfortunately my husband wasn't there... I had to leave the station and damaged my car because of a lazy, rude person employed by Woolworth.

I wanted to buy some milk formula for my baby when I was shopping at Auburn Woolly. There was a notice in the baby food area said everyone need to go to the counter to buy the formula. I asked the staff at the counter and another staff said she will check the stock on line. I was waiting for about 10 mins and there was no staff talking to me only the...

Woolworths simply roast beef marinated in onion, garlic & red wine flavour

Hello,
I want to make a complain about a roast beef called 'Simply Roast Beef Marinated in onion, garlic & red wine flavour' that I bought this morning at 8:30am from my local Woolworths Store in Brunswick. We were very disappointed after preparing the meal over 2 hour period to find out it tasted and felt like we were eating plastic or rubber.
I would like to challenge Brad Banducci to host a dinner and serve this roast beef because I'm sure he will be very disappointed by its quality and ashamed to serve this meal to his friends and family. We, including our guests could not eat the meat that we believe has been processed.
We've been loyal costumers to Woolworth for the past 10 years however we feel we have been seriously ripped off this time.
We would like to be compensated for the money we lost buying this product. See attached photos of the product as well as a receipt of the transaction.
Please contact me via my email address for a refund:
[protected]@gmail.com
or via mail:

Regards,

I also cooked this Simply Roast tonight and the texture was much to be desired. It looked and tasted very processed. There was no indication on the wrapping that it was processed meat. I feel a bit ripped off.

Woolworths we are in what can only be described as a global climate crisis and I am shoc“ discovery garden” is assembled and imported from poland!

We are in what can only be described as a global climate crisis and I am shocked to discover your so called green marketing concept, " discovery garden" is assembled and imported from Poland!
Wow - firstly the flower seeds should be from Australia, to ensure there are no exotic species introduced, and secondly why is this not assembled in Australia? Australian native seed, in recycled packaging - that's good marketing, which makes environmental sense and benefits the community. Please consider your every action and start to lead. The government doesn't appear to care, do you?

Dear Sir/Madam
I have ALWAYS brought your large packets of thin beef sausages at $10 a pack. I have forever told ALL my friends that they are the BEST. Well NOT ANYMORE, as after buying some at Greenbank QLD last Sunday 30/9/19 I was disgusted with the Quality & taste. I have since found out, that we now have a different supplier. I honestly thought they had no skin on them, as the sausage meat was hanging out EACH end. I won't be buying them anymore & hope in the near future that you would consider going back to your previous supplier. I do hope this happens, so once again I could say how great they are. Until then I shall have to buy them from my local Butcher.
On a GOOD note, I must comment about our Pub Lane Greenbank Store's Manager, Sam & his Staff. It's such a pleasure to go in there, as they are so Friendly and Helpful. A BIG Credit to how the Staff are trained.

This Woolworth had run out of the free garden seeds so after completing my purchase I went to the front desk to ask if the lady Erving me could note on my docket that I did not receive my free seeds. Before I could add that I usually shopped at Hervey Bay and would like to try there, she snapped my head off, saying they were not honouring it because they...

Woolworths asian products (filipino groceries)

Since Woolworths introduce more Filipino products (lane 6), my kids and I are often seen grabbing more stuff from that lane but this past few weeks they're not refilling anything in there, Just wondering why is that happening when more Filipinos love to shop there because it's so convenient and most importantly it's a bit cheaper compared to other Asian shop.

Please I need an answer. Thanks

Woolworths strawberry donuts

Can you please explain why you have stopped making the strawberry donuts in-store and replaced them with a donut that is made elsewhere...see attached picture...the original strawberry donut with sprinkles was awesome the new donut, pictured, that has replaced it is completely awful. Very different product and very disappointed. I spoke to a person in the bakery and they said they are no longer making them in-store...that is a huge shame as I wouldn't image the donut in the picture to sell very well as they are not very nice at all.

Woolworths security alarm going off all hours

We wish to complain about your Lisarow store security alarm going off at all hours waking residents up in nearby villas and houses. The alarm has been going off at 1.30am, 1.15am, 4am and at 6.45am most days for the past 4 weeks. The residents of nearby Newling Street and surrounding streets have made complaints to Jenny the Supervisor and other staff. The complaint was acknowledged and Jenny agreed she would follow this up. Nothing has changed and this continues. We will be boycotting your store until this is attended to. We are all exhausted from constant interrupted sleep. Please sort this out immediately.

He then told me he would fetch people from other check outs and put three people in front of me to make me wait. I have never encountered this before.

Why are there never any staff on registers in the corowa store? I asked the front end manager Charlynne and she said she's not allowed to hire, are you serious? The corowa store in NSW warrants more staff it is an extremely busy store for gods sake put more staff on. People are starting to go to IGA instead because they simply can't get through fast enough at Woolworths Corowa.
