All the shops here seem to have a sufficient number of checkouts. Woolworths is a bit busy at times, but the lines move at a decent pace.

Yay! My very first post!

Usually there are a lot of checkouts at WalMart. The WalMart here has 10 checkouts and 4 express checkouts.

They still have Woolworths in Australia? I thought they went bankrupt 15 years ago!

There are still Lawson's convenience stores in Japan and I do believe it's been since the mid 80s that you've been able to see any in Ohio.

Much like the Australian and US television stations named ABC, Woolworths Ltd. is completely unrelated to any other Woolworths, aside from the fact the F. W. Woolworth company is its namesake. It made a $2.6 billion profit in 2008, with revenues of $53.7 billion and 200,000 employees, 175,000 of which are in its supermarket division.

On a side note, the Australian ABC had the acronym first (1929 compared with 1943, state-owned and funded since 1932), but NBC's Blue Network, the American ABC's predecessor, began two years earlier than the Australian ABC.

Woolworths is the high end department store in the UK. However, an unrelated supermarket chain, which is also called Woolworths , operates around Australia.

What is Woolworths?

They were a chain of discount stores similar to Target or Wal-Mart. One of the first, actually, going all the way back to 1879(!). But they went out of business in 1997.

I remember Woolworths vividly, but some of you kids here might be too young to.

[astronelson 339]

Unless, of course, you live in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, or any other country that has a chain called Woolworths.

[Frdm920 50]

Well actually, Woolworths in the UK went broke, and I think it got rebranded to 'Safeway' in NZ. So really it's only Aus

Also Good luck with your exam Astro!

[Skimbo 304]

Skimbo, I rather like those train related updates. Your lines are much more organized than mine.

So, hopefully the ash cloud will go away and not come back a THIRD time, because it's already caused enough problems here -_-

Esecially if you don't want it to come back a third time, it will.
