A Woolworths employee has offered a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of her Tuesday night routine that happens inside the store every week.
Tilli, from South Australia, shared a TikTok video showing herself and a colleague removing all the weekly 'special' tickets from the deli and freezer aisles.
The supermarket chain runs new weekly specials from Wednesday to the following Tuesday every week so team members are required to update the shelf labelled tickets the night before the sale starts.

Every Tuesday night, workers walk around every aisle to take down the previous week's discounts to make way for the new weekly offers.
The new range of specials are launched in stores or online every Wednesday - and typically includes half-price deals, bundle specials or two-for-one offers.
Her Tuesday night routine comes after many shoppers suggested the best times to shop for heavily discounted items are either early in the morning or shortly before closing time.
Woolworths employees have previously shared the exact times they usually lower the prices of meat, seafood, dairy, and baked goods.

One Woolworths worker said the special discounts on fresh produce are carried out twice a day in her store.
'In my store, all markdowns for any fresh department - deli, meat, seafood and bakery - are to be done by 11am and a further one is done again at 4pm for things that have to be cleared by that day,' she wrote on Facebook.
Many supermarket employees agreed with her, saying the discounts on fresh food items are carried out twice a day at their stores.
'As far as I know, markdowns are completed before 11am and before 4pm except for bread which can vary depending on store size and production,' one worker said.
While another added: 'I was managing the fresh food department of Woolies... markdowns have to be done before 11am on meat, dairy, seafood and deli.'
However, one employee said: 'It's different in every store and it varies so much.'
