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 … View moreMy 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.

One of the biggest events on the Porirua calendar is set down for 8 June this year: the Love Local Expo.

Te Rauparaha Arena will be bursting at the seams as vendors showcase the best that our city has to offer, from products and services, to crafts and community events.

There will be offerings including craft beer, cupcakes, jewellery, custom homewares, gyms and cheerleading, activities and exhibits.

Love Local began in 2020 as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic, giving Porirua businesses a boost coming out of lockdowns.

There are many ways to get to Te Rauparaha Arena for the expo – catch the train to Porirua and walk or e-scooter around the harbour path to the venue, catch a bus to stops on Norrie St and Lyttelton Ave, or park close by. Car parking might be difficult to get in the Arena car park on the day.

Love Local Expo, free entry, Saturday 8 June, 10am-4pm, Te Rauparaha Arena.
