This is brilliant.
I want to do this to Walmart here in the US.
@helplessduck @RadicalGraffiti
My thought as well, we need some activist here in the US to do it too at Walmart, Kroger, etc.
Store shelves:
A sticker the bread shelf says, "We've made over $1 billion in profits whilst you can't even afford bread."
A sticker on another product says, "If you see someone shoplifting, no you didn't."
A sticker on a third product says, "We understand that times are tough, an that's why we pay out CEO over $20,000 a day. That's the median wage of a Tasmanian before the end of the week!"
@RadicalGraffiti @firstdogonthemoon
Three “Specials” labels for Woolworths, placed in-store like the regular labels. They say:
1. We understand that times are tough, and that's why we pay our CEO over $20,000 a day. That's the median wage of a Tasmanian before the end of the week!
2. If you see someone shoplifting, no you didn't.
3. We've made over $1 billion in profits whilst you can't even afford bread.
@RadicalGraffiti Suggested alt texts:
A bright yellow shelf tag in front of bags of bread: "Special: We've made over $1 billion profits whilst you can't even afford bread." There's a QR code and a Woolsworths logo at the bottom.
A bright yellow shelf tag: "Special: If you see someone shoplifting, no you didn't." There's a QR code and a Coles logo at the bottom.
@RadicalGraffiti Last one:

@RadicalGraffiti
I'd love to boost the heck out of this - all 3 mastodon logins.
Alas, no alt text, so I can't.
It's not *that* difficult to not be ableist. Give it a go.
First image: A tag on a bread shelf that looks like it's advertising a special but says "We've made over $1 billion in profits whilst you can't even afford bread."
Second image: The tag on an apple bin says, "If you see someone shoplifting, no you didn't."
Third image: The tag on the glass door of a dairy case says, "We understand that times are tough, and that's why we pay our CEO over $20,000 a day. That's the median wage of a Tasmanian before the end of the week!"
post things like this on college campuses.
"we've paid out over a billion dollars to redundant and ineffective administrators whilst raising tuition and reducing the quality of outcomes for students"
"our billion dollar font of infinite money could be spent today on reduced tuition and increased teacher pay but we choose not to because the football coach needs to make millions of dollars."
Had no idea Tasmanians could be as cheeky as the mainland brothers, but boy am I glad to see it!
@RadicalGraffiti here are a few more from Instagram.
Three fake Coles supermarkets “Specials” labels, placed in-store like the regular labels. They say:
1.
$10 Curtis Stone dinners? Not in this economy!
2.
We've made over $1 billion in profits whilst the price of your food goes up, up, up!
3.
Down, down affordability is down! (But our shareholders love it)
@RadicalGraffiti and a couple more.
Two fake Woolworths supermarkets “Specials” labels, placed in-store like the regular labels. They say:
1.
2 for 1 DEAL: We're fucking over you AND farmers.
2.
The fresh profits people
@RadicalGraffiti I'd love to see these in my local Countdown (the trading name under in NZ by the same company).
$8.80 NZD for a pound of butter - not even a bougie brand.
Might need to hunt down a printer 🤔
