'Poor' Woolies

Anyone with Woolies shares would be really happy to see the latest profit figures. SMH today reported "Woolworths said net profit for the six months to December 30 rose to $891.3 million from $695.6 million. That was above forecasts of $864 million in a Reuters survey of eight analysts." Wonder if we will get some 'special' dividends?

Weipa prices at Woolworths: TipTop bread $3.80, Milk 2litre $5.03, Lettuce $3.98 each, Carrots $3.47 /kg, Bananas $4.97 /kg, Apples $5.96 /kg.

What a rip-off.... freight is not more than .60c /kg ... we need an IGA here ... I am going to start a petition.

Be careful what you wish for.

The IGA in Cooktown isn't half the store Weipa Woolies is!

Unfortunately Woolies have the power to freeze a smaller competitor out - we just have to keep complaining on their site. You do get a response - I did - they then supposedly contact the store. The more complaints lodged the better our chance in getting some changes - rather than a petition we all should make it a weekly lodging of complaints until things improve.
