Coles Central Kings Cross — Local services in Sydney

UP, UP PRICES ARE UP! Noticed a steady increase in pricing over a variety of products, for instance precooked chicken up one dollar. This particular Coles supermarket is let down by understaffing, store layout and location of service and self service checkouts. To move through the store one is required to push through long lines of people queuing up for checkout registers. Where you're supposed to line up for self service registers is confusing, it's common to see people enter through the 'exit' to use registers, bypassing the queue. Absolutely avoid using the bakery, I routinely observe staff not using gloves when handling bread... YUCK! The delicatessen can be a nightmare where I witnessed during busy periods on numerous occasions only one staff member attending the counter and the counter left empty because the poor staff member also has cleaning and other duties to attend to out back.

Relatively large store with a good selection of goods and great prices. Convenient location, just opposite the Darlinghurst Street exit of King's Cross station.

Great branch! It’s a very big store and they have a huge range of selection which is great! The only downside is that it’s harder to use trolleys if you’re planning to shop on both levels since they only have stairs and escalators between the two levels. I did see a guy taking a small trolley on the escalator but I think I would just drop it on myself or other people and make a huge mess if I want to try that lol that leaves me with a super heavy basket which is a little annoying. I do try to get around it by grabbing the light things first and then grab the heavier things toward the end and then head straight to the checkout.

There is no parking...
