"Sending a 'special' message
The homemade labels, made to look like real Woolworths and Coles shelf tickets, have been placed in stores across Australia.

They highlight the big profits the businesses have made in the past year, the high wages of executives, the affordability of food,
and the issue of food wastage.

One message labelled as a 'special' with a Woolworths logo on it reads: "We understand that times are tough, and that’s why we pay our CEO over $20,000 a day.""

If you go to my local supermarket there are about 100 trolleys—but only about 10% are fully functional with all their wheels and compartments intact.

Luckily some community-minded person has quietly tagged the good ones with a discreet cable tie through this loop.

I love #Woolworths #maths, where an item for $0.13 per 100ml is sorted cheaper than an item for $0.17 per litre.

The sort seems to be done on only the price component, ignoring the units, which makes a mockery of asking to sort by Unit Price😡

Also, *lots* of interesting items returned when searching for "Potting mix". 🤯

Plastic bags for veggies still in #Woolworths with not a reusable mesh bag or paper bag in sight. So much for eliminating plastic bags as they are still everywhere and so is cling wrap. #WarOnWasteAU #WarOnWaste #plasticpollution

#woolworths the cunts have stopped me from keying in the code for my items. I had two discount items that absolutely would not scan because they are bad at placing discount stickers and now I have to call a team member over for a new thing. Why must they make it harder and harder to shop each day.

I was at Woolies today and I was reminded that the war on plastic bags has a way to go. We forgot the mesh bags we normally use but used the paper mushroom bags as an emergency substitute. Instead of plastic bags they could have the reusable mesh bags on sale or have paper bags!

Breath taking / just a normal day for painting. :)

Some of my early on self adventures included cherry shakes & frys at the #Woolworths #Spokane soda counter. Mid 60's downtown and Shadle < (?).
Tips, I don't think that happened. :(

To make up for it, they seem to have their marketing stands and displays available for mere customers to purchase.🤔

I'm seeing lots of "Display" and "SRT" (Shelf Ready Tray) high cost items lately - maybe someone new to the job isn't ticking a checkbox when entering products?

@stevewetherill @juanfr Agreed, great year #1984. I still had a Vic and not quite got my #ZXSpectrum then. I spent many a time in #WHSmiths and #woolworths playing the latest games on display, while dreaming on becoming a Spectrum games developer.

Any user interface designers out there know what numsaber of items in a list should trigger a scrollbar?
Even 60 seems like too many to look through without knowing where you are in the list, let alone the thousands!

#Woolworths #Fail #UserInterface #ScrollBar

Interaction with #woolworths

Me: how about adding a scrollbar in your app, so I have an idea of how far through the list of products/specials I am?

Ww: give us your name, address, DOB, DNA, all PINs, 1st grade teacher's name, and names of all your pets, because the order information you gave us is wrong, and we can't verify the information that you claim you supplied.

hours later…

Ww: how amazing was Sue? Didn't you just love interacting with her? Please fill out this extensive survey confirming that we are totally wonderful, so that we can have a big self-congratulatory circle-jerk and pat ourselves on the back.

#Woolworths has me confused about the latest in frypans:- the price seems excessive, but being able to squirt it out of a bottle seems cool!
Bonus clean hair, or soft skin, or something ?
