Time to time, there will be an employee handing out samplers (but like full size samplers) of new Cole's branded treats. I've never had to wait more than 20 seconds to check out at this cole's, and had absolutely no issues ever.

Huge selection of everything. This place though is super crowded! A lot of out of towners like myself are shopping here. Self serve lines with multiple checkout machine probably the best option instead of waiting in line if you only have a few items that you want to cash out.

The only downside was how unfriendly (indifferent?) the clerk was last night. This was a bit off-putting and I gave a rating of 3 stars. Today, the morning clerk was very friendly and professional - a much more pleasant experience. So, up to four stars!

I love that they always have my mango and banana nectar as I'm a bit nutty over it, and that I can pick up anything else I might need on-the-go, as I'm heading towards Darling Harbour to meet friends for a night out. The service is always friendly and there's an ATM on the premises for your convenience.

This lovely little family owned and run corner shop belongs to one of those salt-of-the-earth…read morefamilies that work from the crack of dawn til late late at night. The father or one of the sons is always at the counter with a pleasant smile and chit chat. I try to support small business as much as possible, and this one I find well deserving of my patronage. With a busstop right outside it's a handy place to buy bus tickets, especially given that the 333 is pre-paid only. They stock ciggies, icecreams, cold drinks, newspapers etc- all your usual corner store fare with the added benefit of fast, cheap internet with lovely big monitors, and a bulletin board for local sales/rooms to rent etc.

I went back in moments later asking how it could be so much and the guy said the bag of chips were $15 and he didn't mention how much the rest of the snacks were. I then began to ask for a refund as I was charged was too much. He proceeded to say no and the man next to him also said no. RIDICULOUS. Then read the other reviews and saw this happening please don't go there big time scam

I walk into the Friendly Grocer, he says, "Watch where you're going." True story. But that reminds…read moreme of the time I walked into the shop called, 'The Friendly Grocer' in Pyrmont. First thing I saw as I walked into the shop was a television screen facing the entrance, 'Bold & the Beautiful' or 'Passions' or one of those melodramatic soap operas is playing and it's kind of disconcerting to walk in with eggs and milk on the mind and be subjected to the deaths and affairs of the beautiful people. This particular Friendly Grocer's has an Asian angle and there are many unusual coconutty, lychee based drinks in the numerous fridges that line the western wall. The front of the shop is stock full of sweets, lollies and health care products; then as you make your way to the back of the shop, more traditional groceries can be found; the packaged and the canned. There are a few shelves full of Asian groceries like sauces, biscuits and snack foods. Cuttle fish flavoured chips stands out to me, but I'm not anywhere near brave enough to indulge. The store is called the friendly grocer and yet as I walk through the aisles surveying the products, not one word is said to me, not one smile thrown my way. They're not unfriendly, but to say that they are friendly is a slight overstatement.

So from the outside Friendly Grocery looks like a small convenient store.... a little corner shop BUT as you start to make you way through the aisles you begin to discover that it's actually HUGE.... I reckon this place is at least 3 or 4 times bigger than i imagined it to be... And since its so large, it means they carry more than just your local convenient store - they have everything lightbulbs, laundry mesh bags, pain scrapers as well as milk, eggs. bread, ice creams and chocolate... PLUS the prices are fairly resonable - 2 medium chocolates for $3, small deodorant $6... I'm impressed and will definitely visit the Friendly Grocer again... (ps: guy behind the counter - no so friendly)

Absolutely disgraceful, that Woolworths is the only major retailer in Australia to enforce a no…read morechange of mind policy. They refuse even with a receipt to give you your money back. Disgusting. They sell items beyond food, but have the arrogance to say no refund, go spend your money in the store only. As if we don't spend enough and regularly. Whoever enforced that rule should be sacked. It might make your bottom line look better in the short term, but in the long term having such atrocious disrespectful customer service to regular customers, will see this company go down hill in the future. They think they are being smart, but they are actually creating long term business suicide. I know every company will take my money, but I watch to see if I return something how they treat me.
