I'm not usually one to complain about things like this, but I did think this sign was a bit much at my local Woolies. I hadn't seen them before. Way to make your customers feel like criminals while they're scanning their items.
Also seems a bit dodgy to use police checkering when it's just "security monitors this area".

Can’t have anyone take away from their billion dollar profits.
Customers are just an inconvenience that they require to make money
That includes wage theft by underpaying employees and not giving them their mandated breaks.

Is wage theft a crime then?
And yet Woolies are happy to rob us blind.
Except price gauging
Yeah like wage theft and price gouging and extortion of suppliers.
And that filthy meat they try to sell is a fucking crime is anything is.
It’s like “no shit, we already know that!”
I want that sign in my pool room. Not a similar sign that exact one.
Okay. *Continues to scan avocados as onions*

Macquarie Woolies really sucks
did they put one up in the offices too?
Including price gouging? So by stealing from woollies cancels out the price gouging therefore theft is.. Neutral?
this is a genuine question but how do u people operate in life getting flustered by mundane shit like this.
Most would also consider the prices they gouge us for as theft.
If they are so worried about that, hire checkout staff!
You know what should be a crime? The price rorting by Woolies when they sell fruit and veg priced individually instead of by kg. Obscene.
Its such a fucking joke going through self scan. What happened to good customer service; saying hello, offering assistance etc?
Now you scan something, the machine doesnt pick it up and it then proceeds to show you a clip of what you scanned… as if you’re on crimewatch. And to top it off, some cunt whos working the self scan checkout cannot be fucked dealing with you and barely mutters a word before fixing the issue.
I mean if they’re gonna make me do the work they can at least expect me to take payment in the form of one or two grapes whilst i’m waiting on the attendant to come over and key in the authorisation code for 1KG of Grapes….
We get it!!! Just leave us the feck alone. If you want to catch someone stealing food to eat, go ahead – you’re saving lives out here 🙄but stop telling us the fuck off with rude signs and messages every god damn where, whilst we hand over most of our wages to you all our lives
Running a cartel with regulatory capture is also a crime
The solution is simple: use manned checkouts and avoid these abominations. It is ultimately a matter of self-respect.
Maybe someone needs to print up some stickers that could be added to these signs
So when Is woolworths going to be criminally charged with theft is my question 🤔
Mac Centre?
Yeah I feel real bad for you, corporate oligarchs.
