“A Breville coffee machine is available today for $349.00, which is the cheapest we have seen it at Briscoes since we started tracking, but it’s only 97 cents cheaper than it was in mid-September.”

97 cents

@ClareBear IKR? I’ve been a retail worker for the best part of ten years (although not anymore due to concussion in the workplace due to overwork and bullying causing burnout causing concussion).

It sucks for the workers too. I had to plead with management for cans of V in the staff room to keep going on big sale weeks. Most years they were provided. But it shouldn’t be necessary.

@ClareBear it was still happening under Jacinda. We need to have a 2026 (and 2027, 2028… or however long it takes) #BoycottBlackFriday so big that the retailers learn to not bother.
