Countdown St James

this store has gone down hill super fast.. Sadly always rubbish in trolley bay and just visited and there is food misplaced throughout the store that no one attended too... 3 staff members talking in the self serve area.. when I call one over they don't listen to what I said and start scanning my items.. I said no its scanned an item twice can you listen.. to which she said I think you need another assistant... if you try to go to a checkout they wander over looking annoyed. they now have minimal stock.. very unhelpful staff who seem more interested in social catch ups.. I will only go here now for bare minimums. sad as it use to be a great shop before it changed to woolworths.

This place is great! The young people had a lot of fun. There is also a cafe inside. The owner is friendly and kind, but it's a pity that there is no vegetarian food.nIt would be more convenient if there were vegetarian food

I recently visited Woolworths St James in Rototuna, Hamilton, NZ, during the evening, and I was really impressed with the quality of the chilled and meat sections. I had a specific list of items I was looking for, and I ended up spending quite a bit of time in these areas, and I’m glad I did!nnThe chilled section was exceptionally well-organized and stocked with a wide variety of fresh products. From dairy items like milk, cheese, and yogurt to fresh deli products, everything was easy to find, and the shelves were neatly arranged. I was particularly impressed by how well-maintained the section was, with everything from fresh salads to frozen meals displayed with great care. The staff was visible in this area, arranging items and making sure everything was in its proper place, but what stood out most was how friendly and helpful they were. Even though they were busy restocking and organizing, they still took the time to greet me and offered to assist when I had questions.nnMoving on to the meat section, I was equally impressed. The variety of cuts and types of meat was excellent, from premium steaks to sausages and fresh poultry. The staff in this section were very knowledgeable and approachable, offering me guidance on some of the best options for the meal I was planning. They were genuinely welcoming and made me feel comfortable asking questions, even as they were actively arranging the fresh meat on the shelves.nnOverall, my visit to Woolworths St James was a pleasant experience. The friendly staff in both the chilled and meat sections made the evening shopping feel personal and enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back for both the quality of products and the excellent customer service.

Place is great, the team are always helpful and happy to see you. Has been the local for years now

The staff in this countdown need more friendly customer service grumpy and unfriendly not welcoming at all we pick new world all the time just due to bad service
