Not sure if this criminal used one of the regular knives on sale in the utensil section or one from the current Coles SMEG knife promotion.
Those SMEG knives are notoriously difficult to remove from their packaging so unlikely it was one of those. However, those ones on the special promotion display were removed at a supermarket in Sydney today and relocated behind the service desk. You have to ask staff if you want to redeem your points for the knives.
I’d say they will unlikely feature knives in this sort of promotion, ever again.
The worst of the worst, the ones that are known to authorities, yes, kick them out. But that’s hard enough to do. Believe me - you’d take a huge chunk of the issues impacting we teachers right out.
It comes down to parents - they need to take a lot more responsibility. Start fining them for their kids stupidity.
Would appeal to the 2GB-2SM-listening, old-person-yells-at-cloud crowd.
On topic though, probably not a bad idea to bar the selling of knives at Coles. At least in easy to open packages. Now they’ll have to lock them in the same cabinet as the baby formula.
Are you trying to push future generations onto online shopping here?
If such ban took effect, online shopping will skyrocket among young shoppers, which means the up and coming generations of tomorrow won’t ever want to go into a store to shop, they’ll want to use their devices to do so. And that’ll be because they’ll be so used to it by the time they eventually turn 18.
Worked in a supermarket for all of about two weeks before I realised it would be better to remove all the customers and make supermarkets click and collect only.
I still prefer in store shopping. Helps that I’m a 5 min walk from a major shopping centre, and a 5 min drive to a 2nd one as well as three home maker super centres.
I only buy online if i can’t get what i want locally.
Would also requiem way more staff. Great foot job seekers, not to great for anyone anti-immigration or Coles Group shareholders.
Nah. I wouldn’t trust a order picker to judge the freshness of a melon when they’re under the pump. I know Colesworths would love to have a Amazon style setup where they treat workers like scum, but Aussies know better (wish other people around here would realise that )
And they all have your face on signs saying “do not sell to this man”.
I’d use the Simpsons joke but I’ve been told to stop. See, I do as I’m told.
Looks like they tranformed their first store in December at Castle Hill in Sydney.
That seems like a bit of a weird name for a health and beauty shop. After building up the Priceline brand, I wonder why they feel the need to split it into two smaller businesses.
