Woolworths

I often shop at Woolworths Camberwell, only to be disappointed with the service provided by the staff at the self service checkouts. One staff in particular is abrupt constantly. The staff's obvious reluctance to help makes me wonder why on earth they would have someone like that working so closely with customers! I would have hoped they could employ someone who can smile and be nice!

I visited recently because of the special Woolworths had on some tuna. I went to the tuna aisle only to see that it wasn't marked as on special. I stood at the service desk for what seemed like forever, so I stopped one of the staff and asked if the tuna was in fact on special. He said he will check and come back to me - well I saw him 10 mins later stacking magazines at the other end of the supermarket!! I returned to the customer service desk where another staff member was standing. He couldn't help me either (this was seriously getting ridiculous!) so he asked another staff member who snapped at me and said that the tickets for the multi-buys hadn't been displayed yet but they were on special. This was at 11am on a Monday - how long does it take to mark the specials?

This is why I usually shop at Coles!

This safeway has a great fresh food section, including a great range of cheeses and meats. The opening hours are pretty flexible, and parking is easy provided you don't want to to shopping when the Camberwell markets are on, on a SUnday morning.
