I must say, i do find it odd that almost everyone decided it was cool to have your arse out, regardless of how nice your arse is.

Seen some pretty rough arses hangin out. ... like when you are in your 50s/60s and havent really been taking care of yourself, maybe your arse might be better tucked away.

The fact is Coles and Woolies make about 2-3% profit. As far as business goes that is very low. Most aim for 8% and plenty make triple that. Yes they have huge profits cause there operation is so large.
But they give people jobs and are convenient. I have no issue with either company. Much better then those tiny supermarkets where things cost double or Aldi which is just confusing.

That’s not a fact at all. Farm gate prices fell up to 60% yet shelf prices fell 8%. This is what the report from Prof Alan Fels says.

Farmers fear being the whistleblower because they will be shut out. We saw this in the milk shelf, where (many of us) boycotted coles or woolllies branded milk and payed a fair price to the producers. Profits deserve to go to farmers, not so coles can add to their billions in a cost of living crisis.

Coles & Woolies are corporate grubs.

They are weeding out the little business in shopping centres all across the country.

Are all farmers battling? Many I know are rolling in it. How many students from Kings school are from rich farmers....

Big companies have power. Otherwise why would they bother doing it?

Maybe ALDI is more ethical. I don't know.
