  3. “Coles and Woolworths have conducted tests of #FacialRecognition #technology, but it is unclear if either supermarket will be implementing it in stores.

    It comes after the #AustraliaFinancialReview reported both Coles and Woolworths had trialled the technology as part of an ongoing effort to combat retail crime.”

    If cameras were in the #BoardRoom and key executive offices #CorporateCrime in the two #SuperMarkets would be reduced (Staff underpayments, price collusion with suppliers, brand replacement) 🤪🤣☺️

  7. Ah, the decisions we have to make in this corporatised world we live in.

    Today I realised that if I spend more than $100 on a grocery shop - and I almost always do - I can get it delivered for just under $10. I usually use up about an hour of unpaid labour to go shopping, just under $30 at Living Wage. But for a third of that, I can get the corporation that owns the supermarket I shop at to *pay a worker* to select and bag my groceries for me.

  9. Celery and blood oranges top Australia’s best fruit and veg for August: ‘Everybody should be eating crunchy water’
    By Isabella Lee

    Celeriac is at its peak for soup season, while strawberry supply is strong. Spring onions, however, are on the small side

    By Adele Ferguson, Chris Gillett, and Madi Chwasta

    Behind the fruit and vegetables on Australia's supermarket shelves are workers whose stories are rarely heard.

  13. CW: Food (supermarket; packaged)

    Sainsburys grapes confuse me.

    500g of white grapes are £2. 500g or red grapes are £2.20. So you'd expect 500g of half-red, half-white grapes to be... £2.10, right? But no, that's £2 too.

    So buying 500g of white grapes and 500g of red grapes is cheaper if you buy the mixed packs and then separate them. Why!?
