I genuinely am devastated by this. Until a month ago, I lived somewhere that my two closest Woolies both had this, and it was such an enormous boon.
Having moved so now there aren't any stores anywhere near me with it, I'm so frustrated at having to carry stuff to then bag it once I get to the checkout. Or worse, bag and then re-bag everything twice so I can carry it, and then scan it at the checkout. I thought Scan&Go was going to be the new thing added, just not until stores are getting refurbished anyway, as they do from time to time. But hearing it's apparently being phased out really sucks. Such a step backwards.
I'd have been writing angry letters to Woolies, had they done this before I moved to where I can't use it anyway...
