That is a good initiative. I don't have island freezers in my local Woolworths but I do hate any kind of open fridge due to its energy wastage.We have invested in several energy efficiency projects across our business to reduce our carbon footprint and the carbon price impact. These include measures such as doors on island freezers, LED lights and green stores.
Btw do any Woolworths Supermarkets/Big W etc. employees here actually see the sheet of plastic rolled down over the open drink fridges near the checkouts? I didn't even know there was a plastic covering function of those fridges until I had a new manager at my Big W store who closed them all. All they do is seal off the open fridge to keep more cool air in so the fridge doesn't have to be constantly pumping out cool air, which is especially useful if there are no customers in the store to benefit from the open availability of drinks. Thus you close them off after the store is closed and open them just before trading the next day. Although I have a feeling that no one actually does it.
