I am definitely against this. How do they know we will scan them properly for one thing. Also I’m already against the self serve tills so I definitely would not use them. It’s putting people out of work, and raising the prices of the groceries to pay for the computers needed. I hope it never comes to WA

Interesting idea. I’m curious about it. Would like to see it in action

Really? Half the time the wheels on trolleys don’t work and they think these computers will? Open to lots of costly damage. Fix your wheels first!!!

I can’t say that I’m a fan of this. Hopefully it won’t come to my local Woolworths anytime soon.

The whole idea doesn’t attract me

I can see even more losses to Woolworths with this system as items in the trolley may or may not have been scanned when the customer exits the store. The staff have no way of knowing if everything you have in your trolley has been scanned before you leave.

As someone that isn’t always a fan of social interaction, I think it’s a great idea. They they need to fix the bugs (guaranteed that there a bugs). I’m sure it won’t be rolled out to ALL Woolworths nationwide.

I kind of like the idea- if you’re pushed for time, there’s the relief that it’s already done and ready to go instead of finding a busy checkout and still having to get through that hurdle as well.
I must say though, I do understand why people are venting. I hate that I am forced to use self serve checkouts now. Most of the time, there’s no choice and it takes longer. I think they do need to focus on bringing prices down. Woolworths is often the most expensive supermarket around.
And while we’re on the subject, my local store has the thing like Aldi has on their trolleys – so now I need to find $1 or $2 just to be able to use a trolley!

There’s pros and cons to this idea.
Yes it will quicker if everything runs smoothly but if you have an issue will there be an assistant in the aisle waiting to help you, or do you have to go to service desk each time there’s an issue?
Also so many job losses will be the result of installing these gadgets. Self serve checkouts have already proven this.

  Yes, I totally agree with your comment. Things go wrong now at the self-serve checkout and it can be time consuming.

Love this idea as I hate the checkouts but who’s to say people won’t just steal what they want. Who is policing the bags, especially with electronic receipts. They spent so much on self check out scales and security and now they’re just letting people steal with this smart
Trolley lol clowns

All I can say is “What next Woolworths”.

I’m not really a Woolies shopper but it’s not how I want to shop.

I don’t mind the self-serve checkouts, but I’m not sure about this new way of shopping.

Maybe if I was only buying half a dozen things. Not sure I’d like it for big shops.

Just another way for them to stick there finger in your ?

The only negative I see is the jobs that will be lost. That will impact a lot of Aussie families

Another way for us to do their work for free while prices keep rising.

Customers will need training when things go wrong. It is a sad world that we are becoming. Trips to the supermarket/shops are a social outing for many older people. They’ll soon have no one to talk to.

  I agree; being lonely can be a big problem for many older people and taking away opportunities for social interaction is extremely sad.

  It would be sad if staff members would be replaced by systems like this whilst there is such a need for jobs.

Absolutely no interest in this concept and will stay with traditional ways of purchasing groceries.
