Unleash the Secret Checkout Speed Hack a Woolworths Insider Just Revealed on TikTok!
- Replies 33
Navigating the supermarket aisles can be a bit of a chore, especially when you're in a rush. But thanks to a Woolworths insider, your time at the checkout could be cut down significantly. This little gem of wisdom, shared on the social media platform TikTok, is a game-changer for anyone who's ever felt the drag of a slow checkout experience.
The 'power slide' – it sounds like a dance move, doesn't it? Well, it's not going to get you on 'Dancing with the Stars,' but it might just make you the most efficient shopper at Woolworths. Liam Kirley, a Woolworths employee, has taken to TikTok to share his insider knowledge on how to speed up your self-service checkout process.
Here's how it works: when you're at the self-serve checkout, instead of painstakingly scanning each item one by one or fumbling to find the barcode, you can use the 'power slide' technique. Simply place your bag in the bagging area, then slide your items across the scanning area in one smooth motion. The scanner is designed to pick up the barcode as the item glides across, just as it would if a cashier were scanning your items at a manned checkout.
Liam's video demonstration shows that with the 'power slide', you can scan multiple items quickly and efficiently. The key is to wait for the green light, which signals that you're good to scan the next item. This method not only speeds up the process but also minimizes the frustration of having to rotate each product in search of the elusive barcode.
The reaction to this checkout hack has been overwhelmingly positive, with many Woolworths shoppers expressing their gratitude for the tip. Comments like 'Yay! This is awesome' and 'This is so helpful' flooded in, showing that even the smallest of tips can make a big difference in our daily routines.
However, some shoppers were left scratching their heads, wondering why this method was considered a 'hack' at all. It seems that for some, the 'power slide' is just the standard way of using the self-serve checkout. And of course, there's the occasional hiccup with the self-serve machines, like when you press 'I have a bag' and the machine mistakenly thinks you've added an extra item, prompting a call for assistance.
Despite these minor quirks, the 'power slide' is a testament to the ingenuity of workers and the potential for even the most mundane tasks to be optimized. It's a reminder that sometimes, the best hacks are the simplest ones – they just require a fresh perspective.
So, next time you're at Woolworths, give the 'power slide' a go. It might just transform your shopping experience, leaving you with more time to enjoy the things that matter most. And who knows, you might even impress a fellow shopper or two with your checkout prowess.

I prefer self serve. Or do you mean at ALDI? On those rare times (twice, or thrice I think) that I’ve been dragged into ALDI, therewas no self-serve available.
Perhaps it’s because I grew up in colder climates. Didn’t mind the heat when I was younger, but feel more alive when the weather is cool now. I melt in the heat. 
Much appreciated. You’ve brought a smile to my face! 
. Nice reply.
