Woolworths shoppers stunned by an employee who leaves surprises on Click & Collect groceries

Even though some online shoppers–who are fans of the Click & Collect feature–have their weekly groceries sorted out with little effort, they can’t deny missing out on the positive energy that the retailer’s team members radiate during interactions when shopping in-store.


But one Woolworths employee is making up for that by squeezing in good-natured banter for customers to enjoy regardless of how they prefer to shop.

One anonymous staff member has been leaving playful notes with a pink marker pen on grocery items ordered online.

Kristy, from Tasmania, was one of the shoppers who got a hold of the employee’s random surprises. She couldn’t resist sharing some of the messages on Facebook.

In one of the images that she included in the post, packets of meat can be seen with notes, reading: ‘I like steak.’ and ‘Cook me up!’


The milk was also scribbled with: ‘Lite Milk, that’s good for you.’

Kristy certainly took the messages lightheartedly, saying: ‘Thank you to whoever the awesome staff member is at Woolworths Bridgewater, they brightened my weekly shop.’

‘Not what I expected while unpacking my Click & Collect groceries, but it made my day!’

As the employee’s name remains unknown, she said that she dubbed the staff member the ‘Scribble Bandit’.


‘I love this kid. I don’t know who did it, but, keep it up! I’ve named them the “Scribble Bandit”. Woolworths, you need more employees like this staff member!’

A Woolworths spokesperson said that they’d be sharing Kristy's feedback with their online pick-up team.

‘We’re delighted to see this little gesture from our online pick-up team has brought a smile to your face and we’d like to share this with our team,’ the representative said.

It's the little things that make all the difference. I sometimes get a note with my online orders thanking me for shopping with Woolies and it does brighten the day.:)
