Classic gas lighting by the Big 2 supermarkets. They do this every year around the time when they declare profits. They rip every day customers off, then highlight and plead victim on other unrelated matters.
When the 10c recycling deposit came into effect Coles super market conveniently coincided their 20c price increase on their house brand mineral water. If supermarkets cared so much about the environment and their “low prices” for their customers they would not have started charging bags when they became paper. I get paying for a multi use bag, but this was outright cost recovery and money making. Their quality on their fresh produce is shocking.
Corporate greed is alive and well with Coles and Woolworths.
Couldn’t agree more. I’m still angry Cup-a-Soup went from $2 to $2.50 to, now, $3. Fuck out of here, inflation is not 50%!
I’ll care when they stop announcing record, ridiculous, continuous profits.
If you don’t have enough money to put food on the table for you and your family, go for gold.
I’d agree with you, but the corporations usually put that burden on their shop floor staff.
I mean, you’re right, but thankfully it’s not to the point where they tell employees to risk bodily harm to stop shoplifting. Yet.
I’ve stolen heaps of products from Woolworths. Probably about 300 dollars worth of goods over a few months, you’ve gotta be sneaky and do it later at night during rush hour
