| 756534 | 2009-03-15 04:08:00 | I hate the One Card.... We had a bit of a disagreement, In the application one of the fields was "what name would you like to appear on the card". I wanted "Smeagol" It turned up with my name on it and not "Smeagol". So I don't use supermarkets that take the "One Card". I have used "Food Town" by mistake once (not down here in the south). I too was fooled by the discount offers. Found out at the check-out so I said I no longer wanted the items... funnily they used their "One Card" to put my items through. I've also had a run in with Fly Buys but thats another story... |

Why does everyone have to bother bringing their saver card if they are going to use theirs if you forget? The whole deal is just a crock. :rolleyes: |

| 756536 | 2009-03-15 05:43:00 | Even if you are a loyal customer they don't have to use their One card because well you forgotten it. People generally like discounts even if its saving a few cents. The point of the card also is to bring in new members and lock them into a group so they shop back. Go to new world if you like it there?lol. No need to have a fuss or a waa!.Its ok just buy from new world .I buy there most of the time because the product quality at woolworths are quite bad.I find New World products are quite fresh |

The whole deal is just a crock. :rolleyes: Yep seems a bit strange, we went there last night as countdown didn't have what the mrs wanted - we also went there during the week as they had beer cheaper and we got a couple of small items and all the checkout operators were doing it both times. |

| 756538 | 2009-03-15 06:11:00 | I work at Countdown and we are instructed to always ask for Onecard. It annoys me too, you're not the only one. But the problem is, when we fail to ask for it, some morons blame us for not reminding them to swipe the damn card. And most of time the 'discounts' are really the prices I think the product should be at, and if you don't have a onecard to get that discount, frankly I think you're getting ripped off. About 30% of customers has to be reminded to swipe the card. 60% now do not need to be reminded. Maybe about 10% don't have a onecard. And again, when I don't ask for it, usually they'll blame me. But seriously, just get a onecard. Checkout people don't remember what's being discounted and not on any given day, and you can get majorly ripped off if you don't have a onecard and we don't put the store number (to give you the discounts without the card) in. I've seen the onecard slashing $0.05 to $25 off the total price. Oh, and to piss off everyone, especially smokers everywhere shopping at any Progressive-owned stores: very soon checkout people will have to call a supervisor to allow the sales of cigarettes and alcohol. That even includes the paper and filter. So, if the store is quiet or BUSY, you will have to wait until a supervisor comes, and if there's people behind you queuing, they'll have to wait too. Really can't wait till the Christmas season with this bloody restriction......:yuck: |

| 756539 | 2009-03-15 07:46:00 | Personally I find the New World prices way more expensive than Woollies or Countdown. Just shop at Pak n Slave. They don't bother you with coupons or discount cards. :rolleyes: Depends what you buy I guess. I find Woolworths more expensive. And the New World I go to doesn't bother with coupons - they just match Woolworths prices or better. As for Pak n Slave - well funnily enough I don't find them much cheaper at all. Again - it depends what you fill your trolley up with. And don't mention the queues in there. |

| 756540 | 2009-03-15 07:51:00 | I work at Countdown and we are instructed to always ask for Onecard..... Yep - well I feel for the checkout staff. They must feel like bloody parrots at the end of the day. And of course, all this fumbling around for a card to swipe just slows the queues down.:cool: |

| 756541 | 2009-03-15 08:04:00 | If you aren't in a day dream you might notice that the Woolworths/ Countdown swipe readers are ready for your OneCard as soon as the 1st item is scanned. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 756542 | 2009-03-15 08:06:00 | just found out from a friend of mine who works at woolworths that this supervisor for alcohol system starts this week lol lol roll on xmas. | Hitech (9024) | ||
| 756543 | 2009-03-15 08:27:00 | So your saying if the food stores didn't have discount vouchers for petrol then all the prices would be 10 -20 Cents lower all over the country - give me a break . Blame the petrol companies and tax for higher prices . I said the prices SHOULD be lower, not would be lower . The majority of the fuel 'discounts' are a modest 4-6 cents/litre . The fuel discount - you are just recouping some of what you spent on overpriced goods at the supermarket . It's all factored in . Of course, alot of people spend just that little bit more to get a bigger 'discount' . It's just a scheme to encourage people to spend more and to rake more money out of people by making their shopping experience just a little bit less convenient . Nothing in it for the consumer whatsoever . :rolleyes: |
