Not much variety. I have some issues with food in the deli, I have purchased meat, chicken and bacon bits and they have been 'off' to say the least. I refuse to buy anything in the deli. I do find Coles to be convenient, and the staff usually seem helpful and nice.

Coles Bellbowrie is clean, most of the staff are friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable to good. Stock is limited in some areas, not as vast as other supermarkets and Coles specifically. This is disappointing, and means i will shop elsewhere for certain items, and purchase less at Coles Bellbowrie when i'm there.
The worst part though is the Delicatessen staff. I have waited around for several minutes before staff have notice me and come to help. Often they have their backs turned doing other duties, and they leave huge gaps between checking for customers behind them.
They rarely ask if there's anything else i need, which is a practice that's not only polite, but also increases sales for the business.
Smiling is at a minimum, as is stock knowledge.
The quality and freshness of the product sold is very good, except for when it comes to the chicken. I never buy chicken drumsticks or wings from the deli anymore because they are often expired or close to it. I can't even give it to my dog.
The cold meats are for the most part, very fresh. Also the fresh fish that i've bought has always been very good.
As far as stock range in the other grocery departments, there are some gaps. No Old El Paso corn chips anymore, no sml Jalna strawberry yogurt, a limited range of single muesli bars, the flavoured milk range could be better, the Yoplait Forme yogurt range is limited, there is frequently no fresh coriander available along with some other herbs, and there are no single bread rolls for sale.

I know refuse to shop here. Whenever I buy fruit & veg from here it goes off within a day or 2. The deli is disgusting the cold meats on display are dryed up as though they are old. And even my cat won't eat the meat from the meat dept.

This is the closest shopping centre to us by far unfortunately. It's not particularly clean and they are consistently sold out of the "coles" brand of food, forcing you to buy the more expensive brand. I would never buy fresh meat from the deli because it is always dried out and terrible looking. The staff that work the checkouts are particularly slow, or far too busy talking to each other.
