If you're over 18 you need to stop applying for the maccas/subway type jobs where they almost exclusively hire 15 year olds to keep costs down. Get your RSA (responsible service of alcohol) and RSG (gambling) and apply for bartending, bottleshops, pokies venues etc. Jobs that are for adults.

Don't get me wrong it's still a prick...
As said earlier make sure you're applying for specific positions at specific stores and not just putting up profiles. I doubt you're too old, I didn't work at Woolies until I turned 30.
When I was at BWS my manager used to email the roster to everyone. Wouldn't be difficult for a woolies manager to email rosters to everyone in the department and wouldn't cost anything AFAIK.
Once they start abusing you it's game over, they won't get served by me no matter how many forms of ID they have :haha:
I work in liquor where this kind of thing is 1000 times worse. We've had some ripper screaming matches in there. Customers threatening to kill staff and screaming like...
