This is a wonderful gesture on Woollies’ behalf. I hasten to add that, while I would enjoy receiving a gift, we should be nice to staff as a matter of course. I hear some awful stories of bad treatment of staff so I always smile, chat and try my best to improve their day.

I’ve noticed that in some shopping car parks, you take your life in your hands! Elderly people have reversed their car in front of me without even looking backwards or checking the mirror. I am a senior but cannot comprehend how they stay alive or how pedestrians are not killed! This has...
