“The service at Woolworths Tyvervalley Café is absolutely non existent. If an waiter arrive after waiting more than 20 mins and you place your order, the waiter is better knowing, example: asking for sourdough you get asked do you want white or brown bread, when telling the waiter you don't want any oil used she says they only use butter. Oil, butter is the same thing. Why want to be better knowing than what the customer are asking for. Eventually when the food arrive it is cold, the ingredients isn't the same on the 2 pieces of sandwich. Every time I give them a chance to go and sit and order, but it is just a disaster. And it isn't just from now, it is from the day the café opened in the new space. It is bad, because when you are done with your shopping you are tired and hungry, you don't want to walk to the other side of the mall, and the mall doesn't have decent restaurants that you can eat something healthy. They need to sort out the lack of waiters, the service, food and noise inside (they didn't sound proof the space inside). Surely the management of the Café must be aware of the problems they are having?”

“Today I visited Woolworths Promenade branch to do my monthly grocery shopping, and unfortunately I had a very disappointing experience at the tills. The gentleman assisting me was very unwelcoming from the start. I greeted him, but he did not greet me back. I also informed him that I had reusable bags with me, yet he remained silent throughout the interaction. After packing my groceries into my bags, he added extra bags without even asking me, and I chose to stay quiet. What made the experience more uncomfortable was that he never communicated at all ,not even to ask whether I had a loyalty card.I even thought he was non-verbal.I eventually handed him my phone so he could scan my Loyalty card, and the only time he spoke was to tell me that my phone was locked. In all my years of shopping at Woolworths, I have never experienced service like this before. This was my first negative experience, and it left me feeling very disappointed.”

“MUSGRAVE - LADIES COUNTER TELLER AND CUSTOMER CARE SUPERVISOR - The interaction I had with staff during a return query was unhelpful and lacked clear communication and professionalism. I also found the manner of engagement to be dismissive and not aligned with the level of service expected from Woolworths. I am requesting that this matter be reviewed in relation to staff conduct and overall customer service standards at the branch as this is not the first time.”

“The service at Woolworths coffee shop at Village Square, Durbanville is the worst you can experience. The staff in the kitchen needs some training. They are more interested in challenging each other than preparing the food and the manager is not able to manage them!!”

“Woolworths are starting to loose the plot. Lynnridge mall store - Saturdays many out of stock items and the cashiers are the most unfriendly if all the supermarket chains. What is going on? Worst of all, they just don't care!!”

“I am not impressed with this RIDICULOUS store. what i am going to say is NEVER purchase a name brand product from them . i have bought 2 branded products 1) was Steve madden shoes - i went back the very next day as in the box were 2 Different sizes - 2 hours of arguing about this i had the box - the slip the everything and it was implied that i swopped them ....... WOW! then 2) someone got me a pair of LEVIS but bought 1 size too small - it was a gift so the Tags were removed - Woolies have the SAME garment on the shelf - they can see they BRAND NEW and NOPE they refuse to exchange. Woolies used to be my go to place - NO MORE treated like rubbish even when THEY made the error Crazy No return allowed no swop out allowed so here i sit with Levi jeans size 30 that reach my thighs !!!!! I am not a twiggy - i am a Marylyn, i have hips!”

“I would like to thank Itumeleng @ Woolworths Woodlands for assisting me with an Egyptian Cotton Duvet Cover Set I was looking for recently. She went the extra mile in finding stock for me. I would also like to thank Thapelo @ Woolworths Menlyn for her service in keeping the two duvet covers for me at Menlyn. From a very happy Woolworths customer. Thank you so much! Jeanette”

“I'm at Woolies Kids floor in Southgate trying to get shoes for my daughter, I asked a lady Shelly/Sherry or Sharon who's on the floor to assist me and I start by greeting her and greeted her again thinking she didn't hear me the first time, she continued with what she was doing and said "ask the there by the till". Sounded so annoyed and rude.”
