New World Oamaru — Local services in South Island

South Hill New World in Oamaru is a great supermarket. I know many people that are happy regular customers to this supermarket. There is always a fresh selection of fruit and vegetables, bread and bakery foods (they make nice ciabatta rolls), dairy and packaged goods, including a few GF foods and breads and an International Foods section which is found near the bakery area. The supermarket has self service checkouts and checkouts with assistants, there is a large car park which also has car parks for parents and people with the disability card. Also the supermarket is wheel chair friendly and has a customer toilet. The supermarket has seating outside the shop and a section at the start which sells hot drinks for customers. Near by the supermarket is a petrol station and a sports park. Great supermarket for locals and travelers...

There's an extremely rude old lady that serves at the check outs. Shoulder length straight Grey and white hair, has glasses, also serves at the lotto counter. There is a sign on the toilet saying you have to ask customer service to use the toilet, it was locked. so I asked her if I could use the toilet. She said you don't need to ask, I said that there's a sign that tells you to ask so I have. She was rude and dismissive, acted like i was wasting her time for even speaking. I gave up in the end and left, not fun while you're 8 months pregnant and when you've got to go, you've gotta go lol. There's been multiple other run ins with this woman and I only come into this supermarket maybe once...

2 days ago I went to the store. I was half way through baking and there was no eggs on the shelf. I then went to north end food world and there was plenty. A day later I was in timaru and went to countdown and the shelfs were full. This is very sad as we know the egg shortage is a manufacturer shortage to frustrate people just like the toilet paper one was. Things are not want we are being told. It's just a shame that my nearest supermarket is a part of this pantomime.. 23rd March 23. Now I found a supermarket that makes sure we get what we need even if I have to drive past one and go to the north end,...
