Woolworths Hornby

Very large and modern store. Clean inside. Prices are generally OK and you have multiple options for everybody's budget. Big parking lot with free parking. Only downside, and reason for the missing star in my review is that they were out of eggs, and this was the only thing I really needed. However this was Maybe because I was late

Oops, this is an old review that wasn't posted, but here it is anyway.nFor a big city, Christchurch stores have such a pitiful selection of goods.nThere's certainly very little choice.nYou either don't stock all the brands varieties or flavours, don't stock it at all, or worse, what you do stock is out.nTropical Raro.nNo lime. No raspberry. No lemonade. No blackcurrant.nNo idea!!!nAnd to run out of a product?nSeriously?nIn this day and age, with the technology used to track stock?nPerhaps your stock re-order prompt numbers need re-visiting...nAnd blaming the 'deadly pandemic' is just, well, old!nLike I said, pitiful.nPS. It's nothing personal.nIt's a Christchurch wide failing when it comes to lack of variety.nBut something that is yours to own.nThat bloody great big mountain we have to go over coming into the carpark?!nIs that really necessary?nUnfortunately the photo doesn't at all give an indication of the diverse levels.nAnd just one more thing.nGiven the price of grocery items, you think you could swing for a few more lights in your carpark.nNot user friendly when you've never been to the store prior, it's night time, no-one else is leaving, and you don't know where the heck to go to get outta there!!!nIf lights are out of your budget, how about a couple of cheap signs depicting the way out?!

3rd week in a row that the brown rice bbq crackers are out of stock, similarly there is no W brand butter or even Alpine butter. Whats with that?.nSmaller than expected purchase spend but still ok.nGood quiet time in the store.

I go here often, usually using self-checkout.nMore often than not, the staff member overseeing this operation is engaged in conversation with other staff, so gaining their attention is more difficult.nI either wait impatiently for their personal dialogue to cease, or I wave or say excuse me, to interrupt.nIt can be a boring job, but it is your job right?

Great grocery store, love the new redesign. Me personally I don't like the new name change Woolworths. They have a nice range of different food and categories. Overall, great place for home and personal shopping!
