This is a rather soulless incarnation of Woolies. Sterile fluorescent lighting combines with polished impersonal lino to create a mental space indistinguishable from wandering a psychiatric ward, but I digress...
The Hornsby Woolies is both well situated/located (close to - parking, Dan Murphys, the deli, the fruitshop, the seafood place) and well stocked. Size-wise it's a big boy. You could lose a lot of time here if you shop aisle-to-aisle.
Speaking of aisles... you could drag race Zambonis down the frozen veggie aisle!
The downsides? Despite the size and ample aisle space, the place is populated by spatially unaware cretins. People, if you could call them such, who have no concept of time; who believe that if it takes 5 hours to do their shop that's sweet as bro. The same people who believe they are the sole occupant in an aisle which is crammed like sardines; who stand and look at labels whilst their trolley blankets the thoroughfare in the perfect position for a t-boning... And they seem offended when you ask them politely to move? (watch them scurry when you ask again, sans politeness).
The other huge downside is the checkout. They have a large self-service checkout section which is something I've never advocated. Having self-serve means they supply less actual staff, and hey I don't come to the shops to scan my own goods. YOU do it. That's what I pay you for. Otherwise take money off my bill. read more
