What is Woolworths covering up? It's been over a month now. Numerous promises, numerous phone calls and emails, and Woolworths refuses to tell us what substance was in an ice tea that my daughter consumed. Reported to two managers at Watercrest who promised to call us back with feedback. Watercrest waiting for H/O, H/O waiting for the sample to be tested. And we have a 16 y/o who still doesn't know what she consumed. Woolworths have intentionally made the complaints process tedious and impossible to get honest feedback. Hoping customers will just give up. So now we have to resort to complaining on public forums because we have exhausted every possible Woolworths channel. So now we just have to assume that this is a cover up and Woolworths know what was in the bottle, and know it is libellous- which is why they refuse to tell us. We will wait for a reply while we start the legal process.
I found them lacking the basic polite service which is found at all outlets of woolworths. There was an amount outstanding since april ladt year which i knew nothing about. I have had this account for 30/40 years and would say my credit rating should be excellent. I have not received a statement for over a year and have been told i a handed over and my account closrd. If this is the way they treat there loyal good paying customers i don't think i will be shopping there again.
On the food side the selection of Gluten Free and Dairy products is very limited. In spite of meeting with the food manager I wasn't encouraged. They have a full page advert showing Dairy free alternatives but they are not available in Watercrest. I did send an email to Customer Services previously, but the response was lukewarm. The store isn't catalogued to carry these items. The food/grocery side is very small but well supported by locals.
Guard at the door was cheerful. The floor plan is well organised. A large selection of child and teen clothing. One of only two staff members that I saw on the floor did not make eye contact, greet or offer assistance. I would surmise that assisting customers is secondary to wandering aimlessly about. Woolworths, up your game with training staff to greet, engage and advise; I walked out with nothing and my money in my pocket.
DATED to reflect once again poor service: Sunday long que but a few staff are served before customers, 3 cashiers available at the time leaving 2 to operate tills.....Pathetic, possibly thee worst of all Woolworths, long ques and just 3 cashiers, seems to be the norm as it's not 1st time being to this store, as a rule I go elsewhere rather than shop here.......
They don't carry any school clothing, so at the beginning of the year I had to go to Pavilion Woolworths to get my sons plain white school shirts. There are no plain school socks either for boys or girls. Food selection often out of stock, feels like the store is not equipped to handle the volume of customers. The location and staff are really great though.
Woolworths is always great but this is by far my favourite store. The staff just make it that much better.....A special mention to the security guy at the entrance who is always so friendly and polite. Always greets everyone with a huge smile and a good morning/afternoon. Special mention to the ladies in the deli section who are always so pleasant.
The stock of fruit and vegetables are limited. There is a limited choice of fruit juices and smoothies. They do not stock kefir like the other branches. There are no halaal options for people with dietary needs except the frozen leg of lamb .My only positive comment is the staff are very friendly and helpful.
The staff were talking to each other, ignored me when I called to one lady. Each time I needed assistance I went to find a lady to help me, they were bunched together talking to one another. The pay queue moved quickly. After paying for my few groceries the lady behind the till starting picking her nails.
A typical Woolworths. Good variety of fresh veg and fruit. Deli limited to precooked whole chickens and pies. Glaring absence of fresh bakes, croissants and sandwiches. Till points should be better managed to avoid round-the-shop queuing and cater better for 10 items or less purchases.
The store is beautiful but the cashiers are unfriendly and rude . I have been here many times. I adore the managers and supervisor on the food section. I can’t get over how unfriendly the cashiers are. Teach them to offer service with a smile Woolies Watercrest please .
This is a nice store. Staff are very friendly & everything is laid out well. I was surprised to see that the sale items are in good order on the sales floor & everything is on the right hangers it really makes browsing through the sale much more enjoyable - well done!
Yeah ... I was shopping at woolw food section this past Wed morning ... was very happy with what I wanted and found all I needed in the forty mins I was there. Woolworths are always great with their offers ... looking forward to all the Christmas fare!!
Security guards at the entrance are amazing, friendly and welcoming until you get into the store. Food section is always a mess and the staff are so unfriendly when approached for help had a few unfriendly encounter in the store with staff
The security guy by the door/ entrance always, always has smile and energy. No matter how horrible your day is, but u will definitely smile, the way he will welcome you when u enter wollies. He always makes my experience …
Really convenient location, but have found the stock levels in the food division is always low, with multiple items being out of stock. Have also found prices marked incorrectly, requiring us to get them rectified. 5/5 if these improve.
Woolworths Watercrest is always a good experience. The staff are super friendly, from the Security Guard at the door to the erson who man's the checkout. Good quality products at great prices. Their seasonal sales are the best! …
Dissatisfied with return goods. An item that cost nearly R375 was refused full price as meant to be reduced to R185 ? When looking for replacement the old price was still advertised with no Discount. Only be happens at Waterfall …
Unfriendly staff. Products advertised as "on promotion" in store, do not scan as such at the cashier. This branch can learn lots from The Pavilion Woolworths branch in terms of providing the Woolworths experience to their shoppers.
The food store is poorly stocked, and never seems to have the full range of products that Lily's Quarter does. I more often than not just travel the 8km to Hillcrest rather than deal with the frustration of Woolworths Watercrest.
Need more stock of dairy free options. Loads advertised in paper but hardly any available in this store. Also often only has a few tellers open so queue can be long . Other than this I enjoy shopping here for a select few items.
Lovely spacious store. Helpful staff. The gentleman at the door doing the sanitising is the best. He made my day. Such a cheerful and pleasant demeanor. Management please take note. This gentleman is a credit to your store …
I was looking for a plant as a gift but was very dissapointed by the condition of them, some were broken some dying of thirst and pushed really close together causing damage. Unusual for WW. Everything else was good.
The store is always neat and clean, and most of the cashiers and floor staff are very friendly, but a select few let the team down with a very obvious disinterest in customer service and general lack of care.
Quality of food not what it used to be. Women's clothing is awful. Why are they always unpacking things and blocking isles when the store has been open for two or more hours. Not my favourite store anymore.
Excellent products & service.I think Woolworths do their best when selecting their employees and on top of that they train them. They are caring, they treat us well. I love Woolworths! ❤ ❤❤❤❤ …
Love this Woolies, clean neat, super friendly guards alway there to welcome you with a pleasant hello, the people maning the tills are always happy and energetic more than happy to be apart of a joke.
Frustrating to find things needs decent signage inside. Could not find anything for boys 9-15 no one available to ask. Get visible signs. Gave up went where I could find what I was looking for
Great place to shop. They now have a plastic bottle recycling machine in the branch. Well done Woolies. Theres some great sales goin on. They have now added a little coffee shop. Fabulous
Woolies!... in a league of its own! The whole experience shouts 'Quality', 'high-end' and with that, gratitude that one is privileged to shop @Woolies! Deserves this 5-star rating fully!
For some strange reason the roast chickens here seem to be nicer than other stores and the lady who is behind the counter is particularly chatty and friendly. Nice store, great staff
Good range. They do not stock Collection or Trenery range. The food store is also lacks range but is as always clean and great quality. Would be great to have a Cafe there as well.
Products were as always good but I am not a fan of trolleys for restocking of fresh produce sitting in the aisles and blocking the space and not being able to get to the produce
Good selection of olive oils, and most other items you may be shopping for, including ready-cooked chickens and pies, and a wide selection of wines in bottles and box casks.
Just about the only place I can go where clothes fit me! I like their range and the quality is always good. Staff are pleasant and plenty of parking in the shopping centre.
This is in my opinion the best Woolies i have been to. They have everything available, shelves are always fully stocked and the service is impeccable. Well done people!!!
The store is great yes top class but the Security guard that greets us as we walk in brings a whole different mood Thank you for noticing us, you are the best
This place has saved us many times especially with having little kids. Can be a bit busy during peak hours so preferably go in the mornings or before 3pm.
When we talk of genuine sale it is in this shop that you can really get it. Good fashion and fresh food all under one store. Clean and freshly smeling.
It's a nicely laid out branch which is kept very clean and has friendly staff. But my word, what is it with Woolworths and long lines. They never end
Great Woolworths. They had the fresh lactose free milk but unfortunately not the gluten free rolls. Lillies Quarter Woolworths is still best for that
Queues move fast. Evidence of Covid19 compliance. Found everything I wanted. Shout out to Londeka, the friendly and helpful cashier who served me.
One of the best Woolies to shop in. Gets really busy. Manager is very customer oriented making sure all customers are taken care of and satisfied.
Wonderful, wonderful, I can spend my days there. Then the big bonus the white hot chocolate at the Spar restaurant i will go there just for that
Very nice, good clothing, good food! Just always seem to be slightly under staffed. Friendly staff but hard to come by a non busy staff member.
Love this store, besides the buns being short stocked most days, the staff are friendly, store is clean and it's always a pleasure popping in
Normal story 6 tills and only 2 tellers working at the clothing section. They are only interested in their profits and not customer service.
Often find the Woolies at Watercrest mall is out of stock on numerous items. Rather disappointing. Their stock selection is so rather poor.
Fruit and vegetables competitive prices and still the best buys, last longer than any other store buy, even the fresh vegetable stores!
Always well stocked and helpful staff. The bakery/deli's ladies should just be more friendly, then the store will be 100% awesomeness
Beautiful, spotlessly clean and well-trained staff. Love the gentleman at the door that always greet everyone w the warmest welcome
For me all woolies are great to visit. Variety and good pricing. Buy 2 get 3 specials or buy 2 get 20 percent off on luxury items
There is a security gentleman that welcomes with a smile by the door everyday and he greets every customer with warmth. Thank you
Everything about this store turns shopping into a pleasure, although there are times when the queue at the tills are irritating.
Clean, helpful staff and organized. Well stocked with clothing but near closing the fridges with salads etc seemed quite empty.
Between hillcrest and watercrest woolies..watercrest is by far the better. Better stock, excellent assistance from the staff.
Always a pleasure to shop here. Nice open space, which helps you to not feel so crowded. Good variety in the woolworths food.
From the moment you walk into the store you feel welcomed, always well stocked, and all staff are very friendly and helpful
Great store. Lots of choice. Lovely man at the door when u enter! He makes the start of your shopping experience here good!
Bad organised, prices on goods different to prices charged at the till, unprofessional handling of situation. Unfriendly.
Clean. Convenient parking. Food section a bit small but rest of shop makes up for it. Staff always helpfull and pleasant
Lurve the click and collect option Great service and well mannered s5aff as always. The security man, the best …
Beautifully set out shop that made going to the annual sale a pleasure. Friendly helpful staff added to the experience.
Food and Deli section is world class! I battle to find fashionable clothing in my size but overall variety is good!
Doesn't stock a lot of the goods I expect from Woolworths and cashiers always make me feel like an inconvenience.
The store is well organized, Well managed, best place to be, nice shopping experience, staff is professional.
Never a great selection of fresh items. I prefer shopping at Lillie's Quarter as they have a better selection
The food department could do with a bigger selection of goods but overall was a pleasant shopping experience
Wonderful products clean store and friendly staff. Even the security guard greets you with a warm welcome.
Wide variety but the store is super tiny. The isles are very minute. Trolleys kept on bumping each other
The staff they are very friendly and so helpfull when you need help they quickly available themselves.
From the security staffs warm welcome as you enter till you pay, the staff is amazing. Always helpful
Security guard is extremely friendly and welcoming,cnt say the same with the staff very unhelpful!
Returned a item and 3 people at the desk had a option not to exchange item. Bad customer service.
The only place I buy fresh fruit and veg but it would be great if they had a bigger selection.
Woolworths is a great place to shop, veggies and other foods always looks fresh. …
The absolute best branch. From the security on the door to there helpful staff. Keep it up.

Timeline review December 2019 Great quality food and service. Many thanks WW
You have the most friendliest security guard by the door, he is just lovely
Has a very regimental atmosphere. Not homely at all. Range not up to date.
Always a pleasure to shop here, there's such a variety of first class food
Didn't have alot of variety. I drove far for nothing. Pavilion is better
It's all about food for me, and they have got lots of great food …
Love it here. Always been a Woolies fan. Really nice since the revamp.
Always have a great experience. Staff are friendly and eager to help.
