The big supermarkets are being taken to court by the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) for raising prices for a short time then lowering them to above what they were before but saying they are reduced, similar to what was shown.
@@margaretbamford7176 its beem happening for decades. I noticed it in my 20s, especially at Christmas time. I camt believe its only getting noticed now
yay thats amazing
Both Coles and Woolies wont admit to it or change their ways, they will just opt out to pay a fine - scumbags!
Yes - as shown time and again, like Telstra - these mega profit companies, will quite happily pay a fine, as the fine in relation to its profit is minimal. @@MargotHypnos
ACCC recently sampled Woolworths and Coles prices and found you'll be paying pretty much the same. Then they checked Aldi. Cheaper. Local farmer's markets, cheaper.
to be honest, I find Aldi not that much cheaper.. in some cases more expensive! 😱
That CEO understands. She doesn't care. It's just corporate speak - a lot of empty words. At over $1.00 *each* for apples, they haven't lowered prices. Woolworths and Coles have a monopoly- there are not many alternatives. It's also partly the fault of the government. Gouging goes on in a lot of industries and our regulators seem toothless.
There's an Easey Street, in Collingwood, Melbourne. In 1977 it was the scene of a horrific murder and r*pe of 2 young room mates. One was a single mother and her toddler was left alone with the bodies for 2 days until neighbours were alerted by his cries.
The suspect was arrested in Italy just last week, after 47 years of relentless police work.
She’s only just taken the top job so a fairly unkind attack.
It’s a joke no market should have the little choice we have now,there total scum
@@zwieselerit's not an attack, and who cares when she took the job. It's her answers, her replies to all the questions. She just didn't seem to care
@@zwieselerThe previous Woolworths CEO’s salary was 8.6 million in 2023. She’s probably getting the same. These big corporations don’t care - and neither do their top people- they’ve got their fat salaries to protect.
@@zwieselerno - she is suppose to change the companies attitude - and has not. Wake up
I’m a professional street/urban photographer in Wollongong and it is part of a large art installation. It’s actually been up there for a few years now 😂 a lot of the public want it gone but according to the council they say it would cost 1 million dollars to remove and is more than the cost of maintenance so it’s staying 😂😂
A lettuce farmer in South East Queensland recently disclosed to a local radio station that he was being paid the same price per lettuce today by the supermarket chains as he was in 1988. Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful.
And Dairy Farmers being paid 2000 price - take it or leave it. The $1 litre milk practices put hundreds of farmers out of business.
Yep, those poor farmers get the raw end of the deal in al this. Secondly, everyone forgets about the farmers and where food really comes from.
Every time I hear the phrase 'reaching out' I want to throw up. It makes me think of prisoners hands sticking out of a jail cell pleading for some small favour from the 'superiors'. It can't go out of fashion soon enough for me.
Absolutely makes me want to chunder. "Moving forward" is another one of many. Actually the first thing that goes through my head is The Four Tops ruclips.net/video/2EaflX0MWRo/видео.htmlsi=D2DvsDQrqAQ_Le0Z
Please sir can I have some more of yesterday's bread, just a bite! 🥴
Rode, pronounced "roady" by local radio traffic reports in Brisbane
I just checked with Google Translate and it gets the pronunciation correct, quite surprised.
No cameras!! My next stop! Thinking wagyu beef 10kg of aged beef and a pack of PK on the way out!!!
Record profits during a downturn, and these areshats keep pumping up prices.
The primary responsibility of a CEO is to the shareholders
They can be sued for ignoring this requirement
Want to change it ? ...talk to your politicians
The problem with them blindly pushing for the shareholders, is that they piss off the customers..
Customers can go elsewhere, which means their sales go down, they make losses instead of profits, and the shareholders loose!!.
OK, being a supermarket, it will not be as quick as with other businesses, but so long as they do not consider the customers first, then they will end up going down the tube..
@@JK-tq5oe an stiil the customers keep returning. Just because 10 people are screaming, 1000 are complaining, does not mean that 1000000 will stop shopping.
@@LednacekZThey keep coming back because, at least in Australia there is very little competition.
If I had a cheaper alternative (other than Aldi which never stocks what I want) I wouldn’t shop at Cole’s or Woolworths.
And there was actually a consumer driven enquiry in the supermarkets, so it’s not just 10 people complaining.
i would for sure watch a vid about your local animals
The sad thing about the Coles CEO saying they give discounts is that she never followed up by telling us that the discounts come from screwing the suppliers to the wall for the lowest price. They contract a supplier by telling them how much product they want per year and how much they are going to pay for it. If you want your product on their shelves you have to pay for it. These companies only have one goal and that is to keep the shareholders happy and the stock profits high.
This video is like a drop of inspiration in the gray weekdays. Thank you for the positivity!💓💓💓 ; 🍾,
Usually we place the bins about a metre apart but sometimes I only have one bin to put out and I get confused on how far apart to place it. There are no instructions for one bin only many bins🤣🤣
We don't need to place bins appart because trash is one day and recycling another. But, we need to put them in front of the one of the neighbor across the street, one stop, two bins 😊
You can't record people without permission? Then turn off your hundreds of security cameras. Arsehats.
i said the same fuckin thing!!! lolz.. irony just died.
@@BradGryphonn its their property they're legally allowed to record.
@@needaman66 And so are the general public as it is deemed a "public accessible place".
@@Herc-h3d nope. Private property. Your there by invitation, not by right.
If there’s a sign up saying that cameras may be used in their stores I’ll take that as consent on their part to use mine too.
"its illegal to film people" when the questions get to spicy for them 🤣
Yes its that time again MAGPIE season i get text alerts on my phone telling me where to avoid getting attacked by a magpie
The reason speed cameras get torched is they detect someone speeding over the limit which they're not over the limit at all
The rubbish man generally goes around certain streets in my neighbourhood twice, but last Friday morning, I was a little late, I heard the rubbish man at like 6.30am, raced outside, the driver saw me racing like crazy, stopped the truck in front of the house, extended the arm and made the arm do the whole grabby motion as if it was waiting for my delicious bin to be placed in its grasp :P
😅😅😅
😁 My garbage collection comes at 4.30am, if the bins aren't lined up properly, he knocks them over! Wake up b***! 🧐
If you like weird street names, Canada also has some, in Nova Scotia : This street , That street , The other street ...... Not even kidding....
Stretching it a bit millions of Australians are not missing meals, many are struggling, and my eyes water every time I read that final figure on my receipt. I’ve started shopping at the green grocers, the local butcher you don’t have to buy a tray of meat but can choose one or a hundred chops no waste, hoping the price hikes will finish soon
11:24 Echidnas are very bad tempered, they have ugly claws & those sharp bits are indeed sharp af. I rescued one in full motorbike gear & still took damage. Heavy buggers too, about 1.5 big possums. 😂
Unfortunately there’s virtually no competition, and they’re shamming us on the supposed specials and prices. Supermarkets that want to enter the frame are bullied out because these big supermarkets are working together and buying out land to rent, not allowing other supermarkets to take hold.
I can’t wait until these rip off merchants are brought down to their knees. But that’s a hope. Not that’ll happen. But something needs to be done
I'm from Wollongong, and I don't think any of us knew what the hell was going on with that stupid tree up a pole.
It's illegal to film someone in NSW without permission??? But Woolworths and Coles have cameras everywhere and so do most other company's. Then why can I see my face on the screen at Coles when I go through the self serve checkout, so there doing something that's illegal is that right what I'm getting from this??? It's ok for them to film us but yet we can't film them WTF?
G'day Ian how's things brother. I notice you are watching a video on things that need explanation in Australia. I see that you have seen a photo of a palm tree up a light post in my hometown of Wollongong....um....well.....yeah, next question, hehehehe. I would just like to say that Wollongong is seriously one of the nicest cities to visit in NSW and I am not just saying that my friend.
Ian, you hit the nail right on the head. Skipped BS from the woolworths CEO.
If your in Western Australia - its Spudshed all the ways, support locals.
Keep the bags to hand out to people who come to your garage sale to place their purchases in. Donate to your corner store, but our corner store no longer wants them as they are now made of cardboard/paper. If cardboard/paper ones, great for cutting in half and putting on your garden to stop weeds coming through., once laid, cover with garden mulch or compost.
My local charity shop (the Salvos I think) are always happy to take them for customers buying clothes etc. They even like the study paper bag ones too.
@@michellewest3404 good to know
Someone filled some kind of trough with water (notice the pipes and hoses) and the echidnas are using it.
Wesfarmers own coles (demerged to list as a separate entity), target, kmart, bunnings amongst a few
Hey Ian when it comes to the Maggie’s , they have even have to make contact to freak me out, the noise of the wings is bad enough 😳🤣
Your bin collection guy lives somewhere on your route to work, so if he sees you haven't put your bins out, he comes early 😂
Woolworths and Cole
Karma coming?
GTM waiting
That tree attached to the light post is the home of the local drop bear...
😬😄
Hell's yeah. I've seen enough echidnas... I want to see a gopher!😀
We're lucky here with our bins because they drive past our place on the left kind of early but they come back on the right later, so if we forget as we have on occasion, we can take our bin/s across the road and they will still empty them.
lol I've done that. It's great. Except across from mine was also on an alternate week cycle, so if it was my green waste week, and my recycling was too full for whatever reason, I could run that across the road on what would otherwise be my off week, technically enabling me to have recycling taken every week, instead of every second week 😁
I miss that sometimes lol
@@desireeg5807 They just happen to come back on their normal route here (rural area) as we live on the main road. No one even lives across the other side but they are nice enough to stop and pick them up.
@@joandsarah77 omg that's even better!! These people do tend to be super nice. I appreciate it and them
Hey mate you watching the AFL Grand Final today?
I’m gonna try and DVR it 🎉
@@IWrocker Spoiler - the good guys flogged em!
@@warrenturner397What did Hawthorn turn up? 🎉
I'm Australian and I haven't stepped foot in a Woolies or Coles since the lock-downs. Their profiteering and installation of facial recognition cameras is decidedly un-Australian. I can't understand why the whole country hasn't boycotted them.
Apart from aldi, how do you think other grocers get their stock from? Coles and Woolworths control the entire market.
In country areas like mine that is any alternative.
You missed the Hill's Hoist in the background of the echidna bit.
Nostalgia! 😍
I noticed that too
Corporate BOT... UN AUSTRALIAN TO NOT HELP YOUR COMMUNITY.... Corporate slime. Make money, but be REASONABLE
But what they do?Is they change the price inflation?And they don't able to remove the tag from underneath it.And then just put a stupid tag over the top.So generally shopping flip the tag you're probably getting ripped.Yes I live in australia
Personally, I have a photo memory for numbers and sometimes do look underneath! Every bit helps!
You can legally record other people without their permission in a public space. They recorded outside the supermarket, in the shopping centre. Although it is private property, it is still considered a public space.
1- It is NOT against the law to photograph or video someone without their permission in NSW, in fact, the law that allows it was made in NSW, at Bondi to be exact. That law became a National Law and is true in all states.
Yeah am shopping at the Sunday markets these days, would rather pay money direct to the farmers/gardeners. However if had to choose the lesser evil, between Woolies and Coles, Coles is better but not by much.
let's be absolutely honest like Woolworths really care about the average Aussie I'm sure these guys sleep well at night. they really don't care about their customers. only care about $
The major supermarkets margin on turnover is approximately 2%. I know people are hurting but the current government is out blaming the supermarkets for the inflation caused by poor government policies.
It's more about HOW they do business.
I've worked behind the scenes in logistics, they save money by only making people casual on minimum wage. No one ever gets a permanent position with holidays or sick leave. No wonder I was the only Aussie born person there, thinking it could work. 99% were migrants and I kept telling them its poor work conditions. They didn't mind at all as it was better then where they came from. I got fired for saying the F word, sent walking in an instant as I was casual. If your American these are not the standard work conditions. Woolies saves on labour, to make more profit out of what they sell. Once fired I had to go back to teaching, six figure salary, but I have to work my ass off and get abused verbally and physically by moronic teenagers. There are no dream jobs.
So, the lady is wrong, it's perfectly legal to film people in a public space in Australia, you do not currently need permission.
The palm tree up the pole is apparently an artwork called illawarra placed landscape. Meh, doesn't do it for me.
i heard a couple of old tires and a quart of gasoline
makes for a quick solution
to those pesky speed cameras
but i am from europe what the fork do i know
Australia post have contractors to deliver their parcles sometimes they send them to the wrong address
Speed cameras are everywhere in Oz but they don’t worry me at all, I never speed. As their ad says, ‘Stop it or cop it.”
it's not rare to see echidnas together during breeding season (winter) because the males form a train and follow the female single file everywhere hoping to get their four headed end in.
My postie lady is great, she makes sure I get my parcels (books, so they deliver them), as we have some dodgy people around.
There used to be a big bird kindergarten on sesame street in daisy hill in brisbane
Vulture Capitalist. Freud's ears just pricked up.
Is she a robot said exact same thing to 2 different questions
it isn't illegal to video tap in NSW lol
With that Ingham chicken munchies, buy it, when they charge you $11 you tell them the tag is $10. I’m pretty sure they then have to give it to you for free.
Yes. But, like you said, buy it first. (And, while most store staff wouldn't care, maybe walk with them so they can't remove the original and throw it away on the way back to telling you you're wrong. lol I'm not cynical. If they have any brains though, they'd remove it so questions can be asked/no one else can bring the same issue to them, and bring it back to the Customer Service desk with them.) Then, because it's their error, it should be a full refund + the item. It's weird this happened though, coz they're usually paranoid due to people removing and taking/saving current discount tickets, then discreetly putting them back up a few weeks later, when the item is no longer on special, for the product + full refund. (Human error means that it's definitely not unheard of that the occasional ticket is missed in the weekly changeover, so it's not an inconceivable scam. Actually... that could be what this image is, in theory, but with the original ticket rather than the clearance one 🤔)
Nope, if you buy it for $11 then you've agreed to their terms and the ticket says $11 so you wouldn't have a leg to stand on. If the $11 ticket wasn't there and they tried to charge you $11 instead of $10, then you could get it for THE ADVERTISED/TICKETED PRICE of $10 and nothing less. You CANNOT get it for free because of a discrepancy in the tickets.
@Herc-h3d No, This actually happened to me a few years ago with a different item, I got the item for free and the money back.
@@Herc-h3d Actually most Australian supermarkets, including Coles and Woolworths abide by a voluntary code of conduct concerning price scanning. If an item scans incorrectly they are to give you the first item free and if you bought multiples the additional ones are charged at the correct price. It's been this way for years although you do occasionally have to tell them it should be free.
@@michellewest3404 Yes I know but this is about TICKETED pricing, not scanning. If there is a price tag then you MUST pay the price on the ticket. If there's a discrepancy in two different ticketed prices on the same item, then you can have it for the lowest price ticketed. Regarding scanning, the checkout operator is allowed to scan the item FOUR times only then if it doesn't scan correctly, you can have it for free, like you said, only for the first of multiple items. They CAN input the barcode after THREE scans but you can stop them and tell them to scan it a fourth time instead and they cannot refuse.
The lady that stated it was illegal to videotape a person without consent in New South Wales has her facts wrong. It is illegal in a private place, but not in a public place; in fact there is no law in NSW that prohibits making a video recording in a public place for a noncommercial purpose. Shopping centres are classified as public places, the same as a street. This was taken in front of the supermarket, not inside the store.
Thankyou 😊
I live in a unit complex in Western Australia and we have zero issues with having our wheelie bins right next to each other.
There’s nothing written on them about needing to be a certain distance apart, there’s only writing about not putting hot liquid or ashes in them.
Every week our bins are almost touching at the top and every week they get emptied just fine by the rubbish truck with the mechanical arm 🤷🏻♀️
Nah, you just slept through the swearing party! 😁
That magpie pic gives me chills and bad childhood memories when on a pushie or a dirt bike....then i grew up... Kinda.
I have never been attacked by a Magpie and I travel, it must be my charm! 😄
Always wanted to find the Green family, living in a green house on green st, with a green car and own a green grocer store.

You can legally video anyone without their permission . that's a federal law that covers every state and territory. What an ignorant CEO.
Woolworths' ability to interpret law is currently being looked at :D
True and not true, If it's a public place, you are legally allowed to record but on private property I believe you need their consent. With the way it's written recording with sound/voice is a different story, that's still a grey area, it is currently left upto the courts if a recording is allowed or deemed illegal if and when its used in a court case.
In public you can however not private property and most shops are privately owned. So as much as i agree they're price gauging thieves they're well within their right to ask you not to record. Also yes they can record you on their property without consent. The laws are what they are it's just people pick and select the parts that suit them
No, you can't, it's illegal on private property.
It wasn't the CEO that said that, it was a woman that appeared to be the local store manager.
Why the utes end up in hands like that is because they're holdens, and that's what holden drivers do, watch Rugby League and drive like d'heads. And it was TWO other cars he hit! Absolute flog!
Rode Road in Brisbane is pronounced Road-E Road
Speeding tickets are a stupid tax. If you’re stupid enough to put yourself and others in danger, you deserve the fine, period. Don’t want to pay? Don’t speed - simple!
11:43 that is a watering trough. They are there for a drink.
its not illegal to film in public in nsw
That scripted crap is the same as politicians use to buy time while thinking of how to answer the question by using lots of words but saying nothing. This new CEO rated a big fat failure, she wasn't prepared to be cornered by a random young, intelligent, angry shopper, to me it sounded like the CEO had never worked in customer service
Another thought I had was maybe she injured her herself the first time she lifted her wallet after becoming CEO. She can certainly afford an extra packet of Tim Tams this week or maybe a succulent Chinese meal as a treat
It's amusing, to me, that when that CEO was struggling to respond, she resorted to the "it's illegal in NSW to film blah blah blah". She seemed happy to be filmed prior to not being able to answer.
In Perth we don’t have to use Woolworths or Coles. Farmer Jacks and IGA are far superior and usually cheaper. I love my local Farmer Jacks
UMMM! to QUOTE! "It's actually illegal to video tape someone in NSW "! HER words not the people asking questions!
THAT means! ALL security cameras in woolworths stores in NSW are "ILLEGAL"! BY! Her own comment!!!!!!
I love it how the "THE MOB" said its illegal to film this _LOL HD cameras are all over THEIR stores- Don't shop at either
13:30 Now that was the funniest instant karma clip i have ever seen. Pure gold!
If you Google an Australian television program called: Hungry Beast, from quite a while ago - done by University Students - many who are now well known TV presenters and journalists - you will find their documentary on Coles and Woolworths and how they operate. Very chilling and predatory.
Both the UK and the US are currently talking about and studying the monopolisation of supermarkets and how only a handful dominate their markets. But in Australia, we basically have only TWO - so a lot worse here - particularly for remote and rural/regional Australia. We have just had a major govt. enquiry on these two supermarkets. Not good New laws and watchdog and fines. Needs dilution. Recently found that both were the most expensive. Very little difference. Aldi was much cheaper. Customer Service at Checkout is appalling. Forced to use self checkouts. The girl in the video, on ALL accounts was VERY restrained and this has become a hit around the country. The fat woman in black - on phenomenal salary and her goons, were virtually just repeating their written company spiel, in-person. Absolutely appalling. As for illegally filming - NSW detectives - who knows their laws - will tell you that is is not illegal to film in public.
Many TV investigations on the " duopoly ". When grilled, live on air, by Four Corners ABC investigative journalists, the previous CEO - possibly an arrogant white supremacist South African - put his foot in it and tried to backtrack - a couple of days later, he conveniently resigned. Just scum. They treat farmers with contempt and hold them to ransom, with many afraid to speak out. As I have stated before on Social Media - the Hungry Beast program needs to be repeated, as it is more relevant now, than when it was released.
We have Bumstead Road in our region & Rode Rd is pronounce "Roady Rd".
So why do people need to be told how far apart to place bins??? Seriously? Surely everyone has seen how the garbage trucks work when they empty the wheelie bins. I thought it would be a no-brainer but maybe I overestimate what we consider to be average intelligence these days? I know societey is dumbing down but it seems to be accelerating.
That Kangaroo putting a place in lockdown?! Must be Roovid-19!
My brother lived on Worlds End Highway , South Australia
CCTV cameras are good for getting animal footage around the home
Our local Council requires Waste Bins to be placed one metre apart. Some people just don't get it, bins placed 15cm or 6 ins apart.
The palm tree fastened to a light post? My guess is they had intended to plant it but ran out of time so they put it somewhere safe so that it wouldn't get stolen before returning the next day. Like they say, "if it ain't nailed down, someone will take it".
I walk underneath this palm tree, virtually weekly - it's only one of a couple of plant street art, in the Crown Street Mall - others have children playing on them etc.
Echidnas will form a conga line, during mating season - the males in a line following the female - videos online
Generally speaking our prices have at least doubled, if not tripled. They do have cameras. I shop at Coles (they’re just as bad) until I can grow my own fruit and veggies.
We can name streets if we pay $$$$
In Australia since 9/11 it was made illegal to take still photos and record video in all shopping centres nation wide. Because the centre is private property, customers are there on invitation so have to abide by the rules or leave. Individual shops including Woolies can have CCTV within the confines of the store.
Rode Road, is pronounced Roadie Road not Road Road.
Ian. I've lived here for 20 years.. .. I still have to ask for the occasional explanation
That yellow ute. Lots of power and not much weight over the back wheels makes them lose it so easily. Add a lack of experience and a touch of agro, and that is what you get.
I once worked in a foundry, and we did a steady trade in cast weights that sat in the spare wheel to assist.
Palm tree actually was an art installation, emphasis on WAS. The city council actually decided it was cheaper to leave it up than to pay someone to come remove it
We call em posties in Australia. Definitely didn’t start because of pronouns but hey, happy accident
It cost money to change tags.Employees hourly right 2 weeks later.It's back to $10.
What is not legal the person videoing the Woolworths CEO *BUT* what is illegal is Ian showing it.
useless loop is the road to the most western part of the Australian Mainland , Steep Point.
Well that is exactly it you really dont know about australia unless your'e resident living here your'e only know australia by watching videos *two different things*
Ian you should checkout The Harrison Snake Catching videos. Tony has just started putting up more short videos of catching some of tge most dangerous snakes in Australia.
IWrocker there's several bits you have overlooked
It is not illegal to video someone without their permission in NSW. Although if they were in the Woolworths store they can ask them to leave.
Rode Road is actually pronounced Roadee Road, with a long E on the end.
