    Coles employee accuses mum of ‘stealing’ after stranger’s kind act: ‘It’s so belittling’

    Sounds more like someone trying to get more of these pieces of future landfill for her kid(s) quicker than would be the estimated time and cost to get them all.

    Explosive court verdict may scrap all COVID-19 fines in this state

    by 'walked the streets' do you mean after they managed to escape their hotel quarantine facility? The measures taken by the WA State Govt didn't seem to be 'punished' at the polls. Like the VAST majority of people at the time said, they'd feel it at the next election only to result in...

    And they said you're graduating grade 6 education wasn't going to get you far. Just what facebook page did you pull that BULLS#!T information from, or is just the voices you hear in your head. Another classic example of the ill-informed, uneducated opinion of someone that just reads rubbish...

    They're called LOSE LEADERS, a marketing tool to get people in to buy the 'specials' and the most likely result is they buy the other normal priced items that have the profit margin incorporated in the price (usually around 5%).

    You mean they don't 'price gouge' as everyone seems to believe the 2 majors (& Aldi) do? Most independent grocers are just not price competitive when compared. Their buying power is as great as the 2 majors, but the prices are set by the store operator. Cost of transport, provision of fridge...

    Explosive court verdict may scrap all COVID-19 fines in this state

    It's based on the wording of the NSW legislation. Unless the other State have the same wording another test case would be required. I don't believe any of the State are pursuing unpaid fines, but those that just pay are the ones that will potentially benefit.
