I worked there for a year in the IT dept, generally a well run company, met some nice people (Burgerking/Steve, you still lurk on here ?) just suffering with its market position being squeezed, the people who I worked with in the actual shops (did two days, one for orientation and one at Christmas) worked hard and possessed organisational skills hat would shame many a Local Government "manager" for a fiver an hour.
Will be a sad day when Woolies dissapears from our High Streets.

My mum and sister are both managers of woolies stores, not a good time for them right now.
Woolworths should have been sold in the summer when the bloke who owns Iceland (frozen foods not the country!) bid £50 million.

Still working in the IT department at Woolies and still lurking here occasionally (I don't own a Scooby any more). It's fair to say that we're all a little worried about the current situation but I can't influence the situation personally so I'll just have to deal with the outcome 
On a more cheerful note, Strictly Come Dancing is about to start and the red wine is open

Hi Steve, glad to see you are still around, all the best, I hope one way or another, whatever happens you do all right out of the situation, you are a capable bloke, I suspect you will.
Say hi to Chris and co for me.

Went into Wollies for the first time in years the other week. Bought Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II on DVD for £1.50 each purely for nostalgia value. Top top place

I saw Don Estelle (Lofty from It Aint Half Hot Mum) promoting his record in our local store. He was set up in the corner, singing away. He could carry a tune, too.
I could only have been 7 or 8 but still managed to recognise something desperately sad in it all...

Ive got no tales though.
THe problem is there not specialized, they should change into a cheap shop, primark/wilkinsons/pound land with a amazing coffee shop. Theres big money in them.
