This has annoyed me for years. I’ve often noticed that the breakfast cereals most often and most heavily discounted are the Frosties, Coco Pops and Fruit Loops. I’ve also been taking my elderly mother shopping for the past few years and the two or even three product buy discounts certainly discriminate against the elderly. In the 2 for $6 example given in the artice you have to pay more to get the discount and are then left with a product that you might not need for 6 months. To those on pensions it’s not easy to find the extra to get the so called discount. Why not just discount the single item by 25%?

I see this all the time, people (and I use the term loosely) leaving chilled items out. They will get stuff from the deli then see a pre-packaged product and leave the deli stuff somewhere. Unfortunaely it can’t go back then. I saw some headphones in the freezer one day. Yesterday there was a 1.25 litre bottle of coke that someone had opened and drunk about a third of and then left the rest in the meat section. I saw a woman and her kid choosing chips once. They took some, walked about 2 metres and saw an alternative and then put the original selection nowhere near where it should be. I couldn’t believe it. She only had to take 2 steps sideways to do the right thing. I had a go at her, asking how does she think they get back to where they should be. She told me to mind my own business. It is my business I replied. We all pay for your laziness.
