Transcription:

4 stickers placed on different areas of a supermarket. 1, 2, and 4 use the green colours and logo of Woolworths. The third is red with the Coles logo, with a red hand pointing downwards with its middle finger.

Special: You deserve steak for dinner. You can't afford it, but you deserve it.

Special: We understand that times are tough, and that's why we pay our CEO over $20,000 a day. That's the median wage of a Tasmanian before the end of the week!

Special: If you see someone shoplifting, no you didn't.

Special: We've made over $1 billion in profits whilst you can't even afford bread.

How bout we just stop buying shit from colesworth?

Easier said than done for busy, working families. ALDI used to be cheaper than Colesworth (sometimes still are, but getting rare nowadays) but we found ourselves having to chuck "fresh" produce only a couple of days after being bought. Waste of money.

We do what we can - we buy our eggs from the local chicken farm, meat from our local independent butcher (way better quality anyway), and bread from the bakery, but there's just no other option for household items and other groceries.

Colesworth has us by the balls, and they fucking know it. They can crap on about ALDi and IGA all they like, but they're a duopoly or, at least, they definitely act like it.
