Christmas Cheer With Festive Surprise

When Nadine Little’s daughter and husband visited Woolworths in Cannonvale a few weeks ago, they were surprised by the generosity of the grocery store’s staff.

Oceana, Nadine’s daughter, brought home a massive box of goodies, including sweet treats, an advent calendar, seafood sauce, a ham bag, and even a Naughty Elf figurine.

Oceana was even instructed to make sure to ask her family if they’d like to share the unexpected surprise.

Turning to Facebook, Nadine’s post attracted many other community members sharing similar stories of surprise gifts, with one woman explaining she received a bouquet of flowers from the store.

Sharon Gregory is the Customer Service Manager for Woolworths and was absolutely delighted to be gifting out hampers, a few hams and gift cards to unsuspecting shoppers.

“It’s a campaign called ‘My Woolies Weekend’, and it’s a great opportunity to give back and support our customers.”

“It feels good to give back to familiar faces, to regular customers, to acknowledge the customers that return to us for their shopping. Especially it feels great to give a gift when times are tough,” Sharon explained.

“It’s a nice opportunity to support our customers.”

Oceana and her dad were not the only unsuspecting recipients, with many other shoppers gifted with similar surprises over the weekend.
