Countdown Supermarkets

Really spacious isles, always stocked and great customer service

I enjoy doing my weekly shop here. Staff are always lovely and helpful. There is sometimes a bit of a wait to checkout as others have said, but I haven't found it awful.

Great countdown to stock up on what you need. Often stop here on my way heading north. All the staff members are friendly and helpful. Well priced as always has what I need.

I have used Countdown Warkworth for instore and online shopping. Always clean and tidy, a good range of products and well stocked

There's hardly ever enough checkouts open which means waiting in line for longer than desirable. They seem to only call staff to open more checkouts when there's an extra 3 or 4 people queueing up waiting. I suspect it's because of the numerous self serve lines that are meant to eliminate the need for extra staff, but this hardly helps when you're getting a trolley load of groceries.
The onecard reward system is good. It's always nice to get a voucher in the mail every 3 months but the experience of waiting for a long time to be served does ruin it.
The specials are always great, but the meat, particularly the mince, sometimes seems to be a bit off colour.
