A queue formed outside Woolworths in Myer Centrepoint before the 7am opening, with two staff members then viewing concession cards as customers went in through a single entry point at first.
The staff members on the door regularly announced which aisle contained toilet paper as people entered.
The line moved efficiently but there seemed no sense of impatience or worry among shoppers.

"It got me up early," she said with a smile.
