Woolworths slammed over staffer’s risky trolley act: 'Ever wondered?'
A shopper has slammed Woolworths after witnessing a careless act by a staff member in the store's car park.
The disappointed shopper shared a video to the Woolworths Facebook page, showing the incident he witnessed while entering the car park at the supermarket’s Gungahlin store in Canberra.
“If you ever wonder why you have scratches on your car after going to the supermarket,” wrote the disgruntled shopper in his post.
In the video, which was taken from the driver’s car dash cam, a Woolies staff member is observed pushing several metal trolleys between two parked cars.
The employee, who is not wearing a face mask, abruptly stops in his tracks, when the driver pulls into the car spot in front of him.
However, the Woolies employee proceeds to navigate the shopping trolleys between the parked cars once the man’s vehicle stops moving and walks out of the frame.
Shopper alleges Woolworths staffer argued it ‘takes too long to go around’
“Well, they think this is okay and is normal practice... This bloke even argued that it takes too long to go around,” added the shopper.
Although the Woolworths staffer is not witnessed scratching either car with the trolleys in the video, the shopper seems to believe that it is a risky practice and should be avoided.
He also alleged that when confronted, the Woolworths employee told him he had pushed the trolleys between the cars to save time.

While another alleged the Woolworths staffer in the video should be fired for his carelessness: “That bloke needs to be fired and anyone else who does the same.”
