They hardly discount meat that expires the same day. I went in the Tuesday after Australia Day and they had a full display section of lamb chops expiring that day. Obviously they hadn’t had the Australia Day weekend lamb orders they expected.
None of the $~20 packs that I had gone there to buy were discounted more than 20c. I think they are allergic to offering actual discounts, to the point they’d rather throw out an entire display of lamb than offer them at a discount that would tempt people to change their that night dinner plans.
Back in the day losing a couple thousand dollars of meat meant you had serious fucking problems.
Now it just means a write off and a tax deduction.
Coles kitchen butter chicken has been on a “2 for $15” special for about 4 years now 😅 I specifically remember because I was in hospital a couple of times that year and had my folks bring it in to me because the hospital food was gross. It’s never been not on special 🤷♀️
I hope someone takes them to court over spying on people with AI cameras next. That must’ve already happened, right?
There’s no law however that protects against that though unless they record voice…
I remember seeing a video of their system behind the scenes, maybe in an attempt to reassure us we’re not being facial recognitioned or something – it showed height dots walking around the store.
Hmm, so it’s actually far worse… I suppose that means gait analysis, too (≈mood/tiredness?). Combined with where you go in the store, how you pause at each display, what time of day/week, then finally correlating it with your card details and direct in your face camera at the checkout.
It’s an incredibly detailed picture of who someone is.
What a lovely relationship they have with Palantir and Microsoft. I love being a participant in the genocide machine every time I feed myself. (I’m assuming Coles is still in bed with them).
Another reason to go to IGA instead
No idea why someone downvoted you.
Would prefer lots of independent stores than 3 massive conglomerates
