I wonder what Aldi thinks of this one:

We need versions for Coles, Woolies and IGA. This song is a banger. :rofl:

Customers will be able to browse and purchase a wide range of 20,000 curated products selected to suit online ordering and cross-border delivery. These will include products across power and hand tools, garden maintenance equipment, electrical items, home security, cleaning and more.

Orders will be fulfilled from Bunnings’ Australian distribution centre and delivered through international shipping partners.

Delivery times will be longer than local purchases, and this is clearly communicated at checkout and through order updates.

Bunnings has an established history of working with wholesale partners across the Pacific Islands region, including in Fiji, built on collaboration, local knowledge and long-term relationships.

Those are everywhere on TikTok recently. Got Coles, Bunnings, Coolies, JB Hi-Fi, Big W, Reject Shop & more versions.

It’s all AI generated aswell (Go Figure :roll_eyes: )

I’m not sure whether it’s the original account or not but there is a profile called polyphony_digital , It keeps putting up these AI songs almost daily. A few of them were pretty funny but a lot of it is repetitive crap.

It’s only going to get worse, it’s like receiving a fancy box of chocolates and Munchausening down, only to find they are clods of dirt.

Yeah that’s the account I was talking about

You can only go so many times with ‘I Sh*t my pants in the the middle ______’ & using footage of a Toyota HiAce in Forza Motorsport 7.

It’s getting old tbh

There’re songs about companies from all over the world all there.

You could do non-supermarkets and non-retail entites.

Dragons fans could do their club for example. :rofl:

Up to 24 Woolworths stores across Australia will get the Scan&Go trolleys that allow customers to scan items as they place them in the cart. The tech is designed to speed up the shopping experience by removing the need to fully unload trolleys at check-outs for scanning and payment.

The trolleys have already been tested at other supermarkets but the expanded rollout will fully replace the Scan&Go mobile feature on the Woolworths app which allowed customers to scan items as they went using their phone.

A Woolworths spokesman confirmed the hi-tech trolleys would replace the mobile app feature from June 8 but not all stores trialling the mobile technology would get scannable trolleys.

Only 24 out of 45 Woolworths stores across NSW, Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia using Scan&Go Mobile will get the trolleys.

The judge found Coles did not sell products at a higher price for at least 12 weeks before discounting them.

"I have concluded that 13 of the 14 ‘Down Down’ tickets… were misleading because the relevant products were not sold at the ‘was’ price stated on the ticket for a reasonable period and as a consequence the discount represented on the tickets was not genuine,"Justice O’Bryan said.

Justice O’Bryan will also rule on a similar case against Woolworths at a later date.

In other news, water is wet.

How will they actually punish Coles and Woolies? Where are the fines going? What are they actually going to do to prove in our eyes that they’re being punished and are sorry for what they’ve done?

Shut down all their supermarkets. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Like that’s gonna happen.

I was being serious though - fines are pointless unless the consequences are serious.

It was a joke, Joyce. Hence the: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’m having one of those days. With things like jokes you may as well be speaking to me in Swahili.

Kuwa na siku njema :grin:

Coles was just starting to regain Australia’s trust after a bad year. That’s all been undone.

Times are tough in the suburban belts of Australian cities that are the lifeblood of our two largest grocers, Coles and Woolworths, which pocket $2 out of every $3 that Australians spend at a supermarket.

That rising cost of living provides a febrile backdrop to the Federal Court finding on Thursday that Coles misled shoppers with its “Down Down” fake discounts. In simple terms, the judgment found that Coles couldn’t claim it had slashed the price of a product when it had been sold for less just weeks earlier, before a short-term price bump in the middle.
