Countdown/Woolworths Black 'Bag for Good'

Jenny from Titahi Bay

My black 'Bag for Good' developed two tears and I went to my local Porirua Countdown and asked for a replacement. "No" said the man, "We are not Countdown (despite what the outside signage says) and we no longer do this." I stopped to argue politely with him, until he turned his back on me and walked away a few steps. Standing my ground got another member of staff telling him to give me a bag (so the Lotto line could start working again).
Imagine my surprise when I rang the Woolworths help line to hear that as far as Woolworths are concerned, the 'Bags for Good' are still be honoured - apparently it says so on their main website.
So if you have a damaged bag, do not let the store personnel tell you 'No', just stand your ground because you are in the right.

Decks decks Ashton building

Pete Ashton from Decks Decks

Decks and structures need maintenance. Just because it stood up to the Christmas crowd is no guarantee it is safe. Nails and fixings can corrode away to the size of toothpicks , timber can rot over time leaving just luck to hold up the structure. Sometimes it can be bolts and fixings that need replacing or something more complicated. Some time ago I was contacted by a Ngaio family , the grandfather had been walking on his deck , as he had for decades , he fell thru a rotten section. Luckily wasn't hurt . How is your deck 🤔 .
