I get a monthly 10% off at Woolies via having Woolworths Insurance. I’ve never had to claim so maybe that side of things is trash, but I’ve used their roadside assist and it’s been fine, and it’s similarly priced to other providers, so the main benefit of that “extra” thing just without it being a unique payment.
Very weird to be paying extra for a loyalty program though. If this was bundled as a bonus thing with a reduced cost/free delivery service, that makes sense. But paying for triple points seems a bit meh.
I work in a servo and I got asked by a customer yesterday where our EV chargers are, first time I have ever been asked that, normally its about our air pump as its not in a very visible spot
I really don’t think EVs are the future. I ditched one last year. It’s such a hassle especially when travelling long distances. I’m more interested in hydrogen power.
They will be the future once cost and range have been sorted out. But i honestly think that in 10 years time probably longer the notion of everyone owning a car won’t be a thing in particular those who live in the cities. There will be autonomous vehicles available within minutes. Operated similar to how Uber works now but far cheaper.
i’ve been hearing this since at least 2000. like the train to Melbourne airport, i will believe it when i see it.
yep, i think alot of the suburban stations won’t make the switch and will close. most will plug in at home and will only need to do it outside of home when on long drives so having the centres on freeways / major roads will make sense.
I was in Melbourne CBD yesterday, and noticed that David Jones had closed its menswear store at 299 Bourke Street, opposite the main store. However, the menswear department won’t relocate into the main store for another few weeks while the space is being renovated.
The 299 Bourke Street building will be renovated with the upper floors turned into loft-style offices, and the bottom three floors to re-open as retail premises, with MECCA cosmetics as the first tenant.
The funny thing is Perth is not exactly short of 24/7 supermarkets already, sure they’re no Colesworths but Perth has 15 24/7 Spudsheds and about 10-15 24/7 IGAs.
To my knowledge there’s not even close to that amount of grocery stores that operate 24/7 in any other Australian city at this time - gone are the days in Victoria where most of them ran 24/7 in the 90’s and 00’s.
Coles went really big on the 24/7 supermarket in the 90s - but wound it back (the was 24/5 in a lot of locations too) - I believe expanding weekend trade (Sat arvos and Sundays) had a better outcome.
that’s a real shock.
