This has to be one of the stupidest arguments ever. “Yeah that 1 random fruit store in a very specific suburb of Adelaide is absolutely competition! We aren’t a duopoly!”

When people demand competition, we mean another fucking supermarket chain you dill. Nobody seriously considers the cheesecake shop to be an actual competitor you out of touch dinosaur

Talk about an apples to oranges comparison…

Spud Shed is a legitimate competitor in WA. At least as good as Aldi in terms of range. They’re also the only stores open 24x7, here. Colesworth close at 9pm on weekdays and 5pm on weekends.

They don’t play on the same level as Colesworth though. Maybe a few percent market share even here?

Woolies could argue that every dollar spent at Spud Shed isn’t being spent in their stores. That seems to be what they say that about literally any store selling a product found on their shelves.

@Baku My daughter (5) tried to sell some of her art on the pavement to passers-by.
Clearly a competitor to a multi-billion dollar price-fixing, colluding, un-competitive duopoly.

But can my disabled arse get to them? Can someone with a car and a job afford to drive around for ages getting every little thing? Do they all have what you need?

Pull the other one Colesworth
