    Depends who you ask, how you ask, how busy they are at the time, etc etc

    They don’t, they have always been friendly enough to me when I ask for either a refund or an item for free due to scanning policy.

    Depends on what you are refunding? But yes if you bring back a trolley full of toilet paper, then they do get grumpy!

    I myself have never found them to be grumpy, but then I'm normally nice to them :)

    always get grumpy

    Anyone to add to this confirmation bias?

    EDIT: 2 posts came before my comment :D… so far no… but early days.

    I think we need more of a story, from either side, otherwise we don't have much to go on.

    As an example, a earlier post on OzBargain claimed Coles and Don Smallgoods should be named, shamed and made publicly accountable for maggots on a cheese & ham platter, and even gave video and photo evidence, but the person quickly disappeared when it turned out the maggots were from their own bad food-handling practices. I don't know my original point was of giving this analogy, but in any case, that's why I wear an onion on my belt.

    Could be that they are grumpy because they are 40yo and working at the service desk at some Woolworth at the non trendy part of town. Would need more context.

    Maybe because they prefer people to know how to spell ‘bargain’?

      Is "bargin" an acceptable alternative?

    Because you purchased the item at Aldi?

      You must make your mum so proud.

    I bought mens slippers for 12 dollars
    I thought they were 6 dollars
    Every item around them was marked down half price except for this one
    I didn't notice this wasn't marked down until I went back in to check after I paid

    She was GRUMPY!

    • SF3 on 04/12/2020 - 22:36

      Scarred this one time or there is a pattern?

      • Moneyinthebank on 04/12/2020 - 22:50

        Pattern she is grumpy

        • SF3 on 04/12/2020 - 22:55

          All other Coles and Woolworths?? Or tarring them all with the same brush?

  • SnoozeAndLose on 04/12/2020 - 22:42

    I don think Woolies and Coles do a change of mind refund now. Don't they? All because of "COVID"

  • petry on 05/12/2020 - 00:29

    no refunds anymore excuse is covid… essentially they both used covid to make more money…

    I find most supermarket staff incompetent and/or grumpy in general…

  • Poor Ass on 05/01/2021 - 11:08

    Ya had a few grumpy ones went in for scanning policy freebie

    Think maybe some of the managers think they are god

    Most employees I have had a positive experience overall
