So, you know how when you're finished scanning your items at the self-serve checkout, you usually just leave your basket on the shelf next to the register so a store employee can come to collect it? Well, turns out that's not actually the right thing to do.

Woolworths recently revealed that shoppers should be putting their baskets on the floor underneath the shelf or in the basket holder located in the checkout area. Who knew?!



Of course, not everyone was thrilled about this new revelation. Some shoppers felt that it was an unnecessary extra step, with one person saying, 'I usually just leave it there - bad enough I have to check myself out, I'm not going to be a basket boy too.'

However, store employees are urging customers to show a bit of consideration and put their baskets back in the designated holders instead of leaving them on the floor. As one former employee put it, 'As someone who used to work at Woolworths, please just put in that little bit of effort and put it in the basket holder.'



Others pointed out that leaving the baskets on the floor could make it harder for people who use small trolleys to navigate the store. So, while it might seem like a small inconvenience, putting your basket back in the holder can make a big difference.

Well, consider us… Confused?

If you're planning on doing your grocery shopping at Woolworths, be sure to remember to put your basket back in the designated holder or on the floor after you're done scanning your items at the register.



It might seem like a small thing, but it can actually make a big difference. Not only can it make your own shopping experience easier, but it can also make things smoother for other customers and store employees. Happy shopping, members!

This is a non issue, just don't do self serve. Use the checkout where the operator is being paid, don't take away someone's job.
Agree! There’s that option as well,
By using the self checkout you are already doing their work for no pay.

but obviously this grumbler doesn’t want to wait in relatively short lines for a relatively short time.

I see comments about high unemployment rates, but that is just not true, we are screaming for workers in all industries. Even bringing in overseas workers is not curing the problem so as far as doing someone out of a job by using a manned checkout, it is a myth, a nice one but is a myth.
