While I don't sell lingerie, I do sell swimwear and we are unable to exchange due to hygiene purposes, which is a common practice across retailers. We do offer exchanges for full priced items, but for sale items it can be difficult because a style of clothing can sell out within a matter of days, or even hours - our sale items are heavily discounted for this reason (we want to move the stock!). And return of faulty items can receive their money back, regardless of being full priced or sale.
Yes, customers get angry but the conditions of sale are explained very clearly to them (in three ways too - through signs, printed on receipt, are told verbally at point of sale before transaction, and even sometimes on the shop floor). I have people who refuse to try sale items on and buy it anyway, even after they are warned that they cannot bring it back multiple times. Oh well, I've done all I can in that regard.
Our exchange and refund policy is within Fair Trading guidelines and I wouldn't think it'd change any time soon, as nice as it would be to avoid the confrontations!

omg I hate that. Was at coles the other morning at like 7:20 so there's about 3 customers in the whole store, I just wanted to duck in quickly but ended up at the register waiting for 10 minutes while some old man struggled to understand the concept of the moving conveyor belt (even with the checkout lady and me assisting to make sure he didn't lose his money) and then talked....like.....this.....um...... and he was only buying milk so I wonder how long his weekly shopping takes him :s Was trying to be patient since he was old but it was pretty annoying

Yes, DO NOT PUT YOUR NOTES ON THE CONVEYOR BELT. It is a bitch to try and get it out once its been swallowed.

1) I dont want to know your life story when I ask "Hi, how are you"
2) UNPACK YOUR BASKET
2a) PUT YOUR FKING BASKET ON THE FLOOR NOT LEAVE IT ON THE BELT OR DESK
3) When I ask for your Everyday Rewards card, do not say "No thanks" like I was offering you one, fuck sake.
4) Don't give me your FlyBys card kthx
5) Express means 15 items or LESS.
6) I'm standing there on the register looking at the roof bored, ofcourse I am fking open for god sakes! Would I be standing there if I was closed?
7) As soon as I finish your transaction, take your god damn bags out of my bagging area so I can put the next customers shit down, I will give you a very unimpressed look If you make me wait.
8) Stand close to the express desk when I am giving you the change, why make me lean over to give your your coins?
9) If you are on express, put your shit on the large bench right nex to me, not the small desk further away from me, why make me reach??
Woolworths has made me such a RAGED person!! grrr

i agree to everything you just said ^^
especially number 2..
ok so im short ish ( 164cms *something like that*) and well the belt goes up to my tummy, and so the basket will be up my breasts.. and this guy is like.. oh do you want me to take out the items or shall you just doing it... (him thinking ill just say, oh its ok ill just do it.. but i thought nope, screw you) and i said.. well it would be better for you to take it out, as i am short and its quite high for me to reach.. and believe it or not.. you should have seen the look on his face.. he looked liked, he was really sorry..
so im going to use that line all the time.. cos if not.. ill just turn the basket upside down... it does take more time to take the items out of the basket.
oh on another note:
When people hand me their credit card or eftpos card.. i just say ok swipe or insert card now.. i mean if your older enough and you make enough money to get the bloody card in the first place you must be older enough to bloody swipe it yourself.. lazy arse customers.
oh and yes i work for Woolies too

Can parents refrain from bringing their children to the store if they are wearing those squeaking shoes? Seriously, I can almost hear your kid moving through the store and that's competitng against the checkout beeps, talking, in store radio and noisy produce refridgerators. Seriously, it's annoying. They aren't cute or funny. If parents think it's ok, I'll come around to your car and sabotage the engine belts so you can enjoy the squeaking the car!
This applies for KFC in a rush
Yes you can see we're busy, DON'T HAVE TO FUCKING STATE THE OBVIOUS!!!
Just because I'm the only one on front because drive through is getting slaughtered does not mean you have the right to rub it in my face and say shit like "it's about time I got served"
Lastly, I swear to god do NOT abuse me in a rush! I'm under enough pressure as it is and you yelling at me only makes me want to jump over the counter and beat the living shit out of you
end rant for now!

@Treefeet
If the customer leaves the basket on the belt or bench (or puts it down when i ask them to, in a really dumb place), despite having a basket rack right behind them, I have started making them wait, and walking around and placing it on the basket rack myself.
