in short....

no.

ummm ok it's not that bad as long as you're ok with standing for hours and listening to that incessant beeping. And if you're good with dealing with customers you'll do fine, tho you'll still get the retarded people who yell at you for things way out of your control. (Is it really my fault if your cooked chicken leaks?!)h

i love woolworths, not because the checkouts are easy, but if u get the right store, with the right people, it's really fun, i only enjoy working there cause of the people, so try find a smaller store, more friendly people....it's nice

cant believe you quit kylie :( my sister works on checkouts at our woolies and she said the supervisers are absolute bitches. She's been there for nearly 4 months i think it is and she still hasnt been taught how to count her draw at the end of her shift. Yeah i dunno, i guess cause youve had so much experience at big w youre in with a fairly good chance of getting a job there...

basically it's like any customer service job. You stand there and get abused by the customer, who sees you as their insignificant, mindless slave. Obviously if you're behind the till, you're stupid - yet you're not allowed to make mistakes. And then they accuse you of trying to rip them off.

Right now, I really really hate Woolworths - the people I work with are lovely, but the crap you get from customers isn't worth the hourly rate i'm paid.

Its an ok job, but you have to be able to put up with a LOT.

Pay is good, coworkers are good, hours are good (depending on your manager), training is easy and straightforward, customers are shithouse.

If you aren't a misanthropist yet, you soon will be.
