Disingenuous maths on woolies' behalf here. I haven't saved $32 in a month by paying for a year's worth of free deliveries. I've saved $8, since I always pick a $2 delivery slot regardless of having a "delivery unlimited" subscription. They use a different number to calculate the service-affirming value they send in the billing emails.

Dodgy.

My local IGA is closing down and turning into a Spudshed. Determined to keep shopping here til the bitter end whenever that is, and it's soon, judging from the emptiness.

Running out of options to avoid Colesworth. Just symbolically got the last pack of toilet paper.

If you get grocery deliveries from woolies: There's currently 50% off the free deliveries for a year deal, comes out to AUD$60. I always order our weekly deliveries on Tuesdays to get the $2 rate, so we'll save AUD$40 over the year. Worth it!

Just gotta remember to cancel before it renews without the discount.

dear #Colesworth

thank you for your email asking if i have forgotten something

someone connected to your organisation (and i’m not convinced it’s human) thinks i got half-way through shopping online then forgot the last thing i ordered.

it’s possible i am losing my short-term memory, or can’t work out the steps from scratch, so i’m really grateful for the link to my half-empty shopping cart

of course, it’s also possible my shopping spree was interrupted by something important, or even calamitous, but i appreciate the optimistic tone of your email

in truth, i shop once a week, and it makes more sense to put stuff in my shopping cart than write a list.

i also like to leave the actual checkout stage til the last minute, in case the unthinkable happens and your too-good-to-miss specials (as described to me in regular emails) actually become “currently available”.

as someone without the means to acquire the land and resources to live independently of corporate supply chains, the random chance of success keeps me hooked, and the entertainment value is hard to quantify

yours sincerely,

maude

“Justice Nye Perram on Friday ruled Woolworths and Coles failed to comply with their obligation to keep accurate employment records and paid workers their salaries without tracking other entitlements owed under the retail award.”

from where i sit (ordering groceries online) it looks like the big 2 treat massive underpayments of workers as standard business practice. this is hardly the first case of its kind involving colesworth.

i haven’t read about this particular case in detail, but i wonder how the companies meet their obligations to the ATO, or meet their duty of care if they don’t keep decent records. i wonder at what point the CEOs/ CFOs should be held accountable, and i’m inclined to think negative things about them personally.

this case is a prize example of why i have no respect for politicians (of any colour) telling people they can succeed if they work hard, or to “just get a job”, or to justify unemployment benefits… the price system is undoubtedly more efficient than alternative systems for organising production and distribution of goods, but it is still an extremely flawed system, and no protection against greed or gross stupidity.

there is no such thing as a “free” market, and anyone who claims otherwise is deluded or a liar
