Coles plans to deploy data company Palantir's tools across more than 840 supermarkets to cut costs and "redefine how we think about our workforce". At a time of increased food insecurity, Australians should question if this is the right direction, writes Luke Munn.
You always do. However, you have to make the effort. Aldi and iga as well as lots of other smaller options are there.
Coles and woolies only act as a duopoly when we let them. When they actually have to compete, consumers and workers benefit. Aldi is cheaper and pays their workers better. No facial scanning and invasive privacy practices from them either.
It’s hard to get a full shop from though. And IGA is nice but somewhat expensive, and a bit hit and miss of quality/stock in store. New Aldis have facial cams.
It’s hard at Aldi to get the same processed crap week on week out. It kind of needs a mindset change. Go in looking for stuff to try not your usual stuff to buy. You’ll find some you like and some you don’t. They change and rotate available products all the time.
It’s also terrible for the environment for us to be time shifting all our fresh produce. We should be eating more seasonally, which doesn’t have to mean less choice.
I’m European. Aldi was my fav anyway. However the range you get is very limited. That’s assuming you have a Aldi close by. It gets frustrating. I bake sometimes you just don’t get the ingredients you need there.
I’m not arguing. Colesworth are prats. They have conditioned people to put up with their crap, and most just accept it.
