Pretty deep discounts, but that’s par for the course for eBay recently in its attempt to keep people coming back, especially since Amazon has operated locally.
On a related note, 5% off Coles / Woolies through gift cards is available to a signifcant percentage of the population without realising it (union membership or company benefits, RAC membership, etc)
One thing about Self Serve Checkout Staff is some of them for example say Goodbye to you when you leave the self serve checkouts yet others when you walk past just stare straight ahead even if you say bye to them. So ethier they make out their deaf, or they are just unfriendly.
It seems Sanity’s last Remaining Geelong Store Out At Waurn Ponds Store has closed Down due to Streaming Platforms and Online Buys of Music, The Music Store is becoming the New Video Store, Closing Everywhere.
The Sanity at Tuggeranong in Canberra is small, sad and deserted, whereas the JB Hi-Fi always has customers. The independent Songland shop at Weston Creek, which specialises in classical, jazz, folk etc, and has an increasing range of LPs, always has a steady stream of buyers too.
Remembering this person’s taste in classical/jazz music and a general interest in LPs during their 2XX radio presenting days, I wonder how often a particular Canberra Times reporter visits Songland Records!
Despite the campaign, Kaufland is pushing through with its plans to launch in Victoria. Three stores at Chirnside Park, Epping and Dandenong, as well as a distribution centre in Mickleham, has been approved by the Victorian Government. A further three stores are proposed for Oakleigh South, Coolaroo and Mornington, subject to approval.
Reducing prices at IGA would be a better response. For example, Driscoll’s blackberries are usually about the same price in Woolworths, Coles and Aldi but are consistently double that price in my local IGA. Kombucha is the same, double the price of the other three supermarkets. IGA needs to do better than just discounting a handful of products every week.
I have to admit that I buy most of my casual and work clothes from Myer in Miranda Fair. I don’t get hassled when I try on clothes in Myer, unlike some smaller stores where the assistants follow you in to the change rooms.
