“Woolworths are voting now politically by supporting a minority (1,5% of the population) LBTQI group that does not make any logical, financial, political, business or moral sense. I cannot spend my money at a retail shop which support LBTQI groups.”

“The woolies food store in Riverside bryanston has some illiterate staff who love to insult their customers when they are at fault. The store prices on the shelve versus the price at the pay point are not quite the same. How does this be the customers fault?”

“Hi, I am very disappointed in the LGBT advertisements, as a it's all over for our kids to see.... When kids go to school they're learning and for them in school it's one thing but your brand marketing it is upsetting as I do not want to go into your stores anymore because it will teach kids that LGBT is fine when religion teaches another thing when gay couples walk in the store that's okay we still respect them as Human beings but don't encourage our future generation to join the LGBT community. Woolworths has really been disappointing morally. I use to value your store, but after this I just feel like you guys have lots your morals and the respect people had for your brand I felt like Woolworths represented class and timeless style now you guys are trying to fit in with the rest when you stood out... It's very disappointing I hope you remove this how can you say marry Christmas to people and Eid Mubarak when Christians do not condone LGBT ?”

“Longmarket Barber Thermal Charcoal Face Mask Shout out to NicoleB - love your optimism gurl. Personally, if you are truly recommending this product you should write a book. #zeropainthreshold #stillgotcheeks #howtoloseyourfacein10minutes To those whom are still in the first 10 - 15 minutes. Rinse immediately and do not seek guidance from product manual. If you still have face, recommend immediate ice application whilst waiting for ambulance to arrive. #arrivealive Due caution should be taken when screaming for un-prescribed morphine. They wont understand - you will have to convince them. If all else fails - apply a second later of charcoal face mask and note time of death. Apologies to NicoleB - mad respect - please send selfie. NB: up to 5 photos allowed!”

“Woolworths Mall of Africa:I was removed from the queue by another lady to join the queue on the cosmetic side. I waited there again for a long time and when it was my turn to be helped....the teller said she was helping someone who was standing on the side. .then something was wrong with the machine. I had to go back to the previous till which had an extremely long queue. I'm very dissapointed at such a poor service at Woolworths,it felt like I'm at the post office or on the SASSA grant queue. Note to the staff,if you remove someone from the queue,please make sure she or he is assisted wherever you take them”
