They stocked Bi-Lo brand generic products, at least towards the last few years of their existence.

The Coles variety store on the corner of Pitt St and King St in Sydney also had one. It was demolished and replaced by Sydney Arcade.

Woolworths in Box Hill Central in Melbourneās east has a sushi bar for a few years. A sushi counter was introduced to Woolworths at The Glen last year, after the supermarket moved to a new location as part of the shopping centreās redevelopment.
Just finished a crunchy salmon roll from Woollies. Theyāre not bad but a bit expensive and not as good as many local sushi shops.

Sushi Hub still have huge queues outside their shops. I donāt understand why, to be honest. I mean, the variety of sush they have is good but the quality is not that different than other sushi shops with no queues.
I prefer Sushi Sushi over Sushi Hub

If memory serves me right, Frankston once had a 2-storey McDonaldās.
Woolworths is now pre-packaging bananas. They say itās what customers want, but only in Queensland, apparently, but I find it hard to believe that any customer, even in Queensland, would prefer a package to choosing their own.
I wouldnāt buy those because it would seem to me like theyāre trying to hide something with that packaging.

That indoor playground was awesome.
More compo claims in Queensland then other states?
Thereās one at a Woolies I shop at, between the fruit and veg area and the meat department. It smells awful and puts me off buying meat there.
Thereās also a takeaway pizza bar in a local Woolies, but Iāve never tried the pizza.
Different prices based on where you live for Coke at BIGW. Different prices in Canberra and Queanbeyan, Tweed Heads and Coolangatta, Albury and Wodonga?

The higher prices in NSW, SA and NT probably have something to do with the container deposit programs in those states/territory?

All the more reason to hurry up and make that a national scheme.
I saw a Coke carton with can return scheme labelling in Aldi a few weeks back, never seen anything like that when it was just in SA/NT.

Because NSW have ballsed this up - you can only return certain containers, which must carry the logo

Not true at all - the bottle/can just needs to be uncrushed and have a barcode visible on the label for their scanners. The text on the side of the bottles hasnāt even been updated to include NSW alongside SA/NT yet. The only things you canāt return are milk, juice and wine/spirit bottles which is consistent with other schemes across the country.
I suspect that @Moe is referring to the little graphic that Coke has started putting on their cartons to advertise the fact that you can get up to $2.40 or $3 back by returning all 24 or 30 cans inside the box. The cans/bottles themselves have nothing special printed on them.
