Woolworths has introduced a new contactless option for collecting groceries and it has attracted the attention of many shoppers.
The pickup lockers were first introduced to a Woolworths in Granville during December last year, after the demand for contactless collection grew in the height of the pandemic.
Months later contactless collection lockers have since popped up in locations around Springfarm, Casula and Vincentia supermarkets.
The contactless lockers can be found in the carpark of four Woolworths stores in Granville, Springfarm, Casual and Vincentia
The lockers are installed in all four car parks.
Each locker is refrigerated, accommodating over a dozen orders at once, and shoppers can access their groceries using a passcode after shopping online.
The automated collection option sparked the imagination of one shopper who went to collect his order on Monday.
A video uploaded to TikTok shows a parked car outside the pickup lockers where the man simply enters a passcode and his groceries are vended from the machine.
