The article is definitely worth reading for more context. Basically, Woolies can find it challenging to secure land for new supermarkets, so proposing to build apartments above the supermarket makes it easier for them to gain city/state approvals.
If town planners at the city and state level are competent, they could use this opportunity to mandate that Woolies build affordable or public housing as their proposal.
I’m gonna lock in “money” eddy
Wonder if renters will get 10% off their online shop, just to be bait-and-switched into in-store only?
omg that pissed me off. They announced that change like a month after I had just renewed my year-long long-expiry phone plan, too. I’ve not done a big shop where I would want to use my 10% discount yet this month, but once I do I am absolutely going to be putting a complaint in to Woolies CS if the online order can’t do the discount. You can’t just change the terms mid-way through the deal like that…
And to make that change at the same time as also removing the inclusion of free paper shopping bags with your online order if you pay the subscription fee for Woolies Delivery (at least that service is month-to-month, not yearly, so it doesn’t feel like they’ve removed something I have already paid for after I paid for it) just twisted the knife.
Yep. Also a mobile customer but my 6 month plan is up in a few months and I’ll be closing that line (was a second esim line anyway).
If I’m being forced to go in-store might as well save a lot more money and use Aldi.
I’ll be closing that line
What frustrates me is that I know for a fact that I won’t. Woolies Mobile is a good enough deal even entirely on its own merits I’d be seriously considering sticking with it without any shopping incentive. It’s so cheap for such a good amount of data.
My main line is with amaysim, but I’m considering jumping to boost mobile. Have you looked at them? I felt they were better than both amaysim and Woolies, for how I use my phone.
Amaysim is one of the options I look at pretty regularly, and I have looked at Boost a couple of times in the past too. For me though none of their plans end up better than the Woolies one, just purely looking at the dollars and data (ignoring other perks). Woolies’ 125 GB/year plan is already more data than I actually use, and both those options have yearly plans with more data than that at a commensurate higher cost. Definitely not a bad deal if you do use that data, but I personally don’t.
