Coles and Woolworths have each sent a thankyou hamper of marked down treats to the major petrol companies for managing to keep their own despicable gouging out of the news cycle for a coupla weeks.
Typically, the only way Colesworth can escape the public ire is when they pay dogshit media outlets to run dogshit PR campaigns about how they aren’t in fact dogshit. A truly dogshit move.
So you can only imagine their surprise when they got this one handed to ’em for free. A source close to the retail sector told The Times it was a big win, adding,
“Yeah wow, the petrol companies conduct has been so appalling that society has momentarily forgotten that Colesworth is doing the exact same thing with the exact same excuses. Don’t worry they will get their time in the sun again, no doubt around Easter when they lose control and try to charge you $100 for a leg of lamb”
Indeed, not to mention what the FARK is happening on the Easter chocolate front these days. Kids would never believe you that Easter chocolate for a family wasn’t always the same as a deposit on a Applecross apartment.
Nevertheless, the retail giants are appreciative and judging by the petrol companies unrelenting opportunistic greed, they might enjoy some respite for some weeks to come.
On’ya guys.
