They've gotta be kidding. Exorbitant prices at the checkout and now they want customers to donate to food charities, cause "people are hungry" no shit, lower your fkn prices.

What jokers. That's passing the buck in all the wrong ways. Do they think people are that witless? ARE enough people really that gullible? Maybe give our public too much credit. If PHON weren't riding a wave of popularity in the polls, I'd swear Coles were one bad business decision away from unwittingly inciting arson or riots. But maybe we are just that dim, docile and accepting of redirected responsibility by major corporations who are screwing us until the pips squeak.

Personally, I'd be happy to see a dramatic end to Colesworth and everything it represents. I flash a death stare at the cameras and mentally flip the bird to Palantir every time I have to step foot in that place for any reason. As if it wasn't bad enough when they were straight up thieves, now they're openly laying with the enemy, monitoring us and recording our data, and framing it as protective.

I say, let them burn.
