Voracious ReaderI've been seeing this in the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Coles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Coles</a> app for a couple of days now. Are they busy firing all the humans and implementing an AI "solution"?

kaffandoPSA to Australians (and yes, UK people, we have stolen the Tesco Finest branding!).I tend to eat the same sort of things, but decided to give something new a go.Tried these 3 cheese (ricotta, Parmigiano & mozzarella) gnocchi, which are pan-fried in some butter.Let me save you some money. DO NOT BOTHER. No taste, AT ALL.

Canvases By PeterIf you're a regular shopper at Coles Rundle Place here in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Adelaide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Adelaide</a> you might want to rethink that, my experience yesterday at the store involved seeing dozens of small birds flying around in store pooping on everything, and when I got my groceries home I found the packet of biscuits had a large rodent chew hole in one end of it, binned instantly..

Lats (314 ppm)If anything says duopoly and market abuse, it’s the ability to squeeze players out of the market. The whole concept of market dominance and vertical integration (in this case home brands) is flawed. <a href="https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/finance/consumer/2025/02/10/coles-slashes-product-range" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/finance/consumer/2025/02/10/coles-slashes-product-range</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/coles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#coles</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Woolies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Woolies</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/accc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accc</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/groceries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#groceries</a>
