Strong piece of advice here, Woolworths.
Drop this slop.
There is a better option. Stop shopping at Woolies. Or only use them as a last resort provided the item is on discount.
Coles is getting into bed with Palantir . We already decided to stop shopping there.
Now Woollies is doing this.
The only other option in my town is Aldi. They're great for some things, but don't have the range of the duopoly.
What do you suggest as an alternative?
(At least this AI thing Woollies is implementing seems to be only online orders. I usually shop in person, so ought to be able to avoid it... for now.)
Get what you can get from Aldi, rest from the woolies. You'll only have to do the extra shop at the woolies every couple months probably.
