Well, price-fixing cartels will do what they want to do, after all. It's not like there is any real punishment for price gouging and thieving from customers.

Classic projection, though. They put Palantir AI at each checkout to store your name, images, purchasing history, etc. each time you shop there to track you in case you're stealing things from the store, but they'll rob you fucking blind at the checkout.

Palantir

That’s what I’m pissed about. That’s a deal breaker for me. I don’t think Woolworths or Aldi are using them yet but I know Coles is

Yes, it starts with a C... oh, I remember!

Coincidence! /s

[-] No1@aussie.zone 5 points 1 week ago

There are some items I only buy when half price.

It sure is a crazy coincidence the number of times one is half price for a week at say WW, and the next week at Coles! Anyone else price matching would have to do both weeks. Like I say, a crazy coincidence!

I feel like this will be legal once digital pricing is introduced everywhere

I thought we knew this already. I remember a website that showed many products and what weeks they had been, and would likely be on special.
