TIL Woolworth’s are still around in Australia. I can’t remember the last time I went into a Woolworths here in the states.

Completely different companies. Just coincidentally same name.

We do have Target though. No walmart.

which the retailer says is due to lack of customer demand

They let it slip when Kmart said it was due to “inclusiveness” though. We all know it’s not from lack of demand, it’s from the usual woke pandering.

Often Marketing is just Marketing. Those people who are triggered by the word “inclusiveness” will consider it either Pandering or Acknowledgement of people’s feelings. Those of us who are rational will recognise it for what it is; Spin to justify a decision based on maximising profit.

No one is “triggered” 🙄. It’s just a term that’s used by the DEI/ESG squad that basically gives them a free defense squad when they use it to do a stupid thing.

You’re not disagreeing with me. The problem is that what the DEI/ESG squad think will maximise profit - pandering to the minorities - usually backfires massively. Those of us who are rational know that pandering to the minority isn’t smart because you put off the majority.

I had to check whether this is was from The Shovel or not. Honestly, it’s baffling that a federal politician (and head of the opposition) is focusing on something so trivial.

It’s an absolutely perfect example of how petty he and his ilk are.

The less cheap plastic crap that will end up in landfill and waterways on the 27th the better. What a stupid thing to kick up a stink about. I know why he’s doing it but I’m sick of conservatives turning every little fucking thing into more culture war bullshit. Just fuck off already.
