I know the store manager at Woolies Malaney. Nice guy.
If it wasn't for Woolworths people wouldn't have jobs. Jobs = money in the community = strong economy = more choices = happier families. The career opportunites at Woolies are massive. Australians suffer from tall poppy syndrome. Can't people be happy that they practically employ 1 in 5 people? If they didn't have jobs what would happen? Think about that one guys.
@supercrevolution You are an idiot too... When a retail giant like Woolworths goes into a small town, it destroys more jobs then it creates. And the career opportunities?!? There is only oppurtinities if your mindless and don't mind eating ass to climb a soul sucking coorperate ladder... Fuck Woolies don't even teach apprentiships right.
YES! People Power at it's best!! I'm doing the same in South Australia, boycotting Woolies and avoiding Coles. They are so ruthless and more expensive than my independents due to their duopoly. Woo!! Go Maleny people!!!
what where those idiots crying over? A platypus habitat? Oh know, stop the world!!! I'm sure they could have been re-located. Woolworths shits all over IGA, its the biggest retailer in Australia and 22nd biggest in the world.
@Harry7784 Fuck off idiot, Woolworths is a soul sucking money making corperate machine. I know, I worked there for 8 years. And I also know that alot of Woolies food is really not fresh at all, and I know they don't care about anything other then profit. More towns need to make a stand against Woolworths, towns end up losing more jobs then Woolies creates... Woolworths even owns most of Australias pubs and poker machines too, they don't care about anything other then profit.
@BrendanFitRider haha settle down big man. All the reasons you just stated..that why woolworths fucking rocks. And your about -15451215% correct on the "not fresh" accusation. THATS MINUS 15451215 PERCENT. haha wow get. a . life.
@Harry7784 they actually did move the site a little so that the imaginary platypuses didn't get affected AT ALL plus the IGA in Maleny is a shithole compared to woollies, also the prices are actually VERY different and woolworths is much cheaper. Oh and all those arsehole protesters now shop at woolworths and it does MUCH better than IGA.
I also live in maleny and shop at both. IGA's isles are always, always blocked with chin waggers. I bet the cockheads that have "I wont shop there" signs out the front of there house, dont realise that over a third of IGA shares are owned by coles/myre. It's only because of the IGA owners brother that Woolworths has gain so much popularity. He owns the local newspaper. Woolworths has provided a better eco system than what was there. So what's the issue?
i live in maleny and i shop at woollies. IGA sucks compared to woolworths. I'm 14 years old i i have lived in maleny for 4 years the protestors are a bunch of loosers and attention seeking idiots. but the funny thing is that they shop at woolies! its so stupid! they make maleny look like a town of tools but its a really beautifull place here.
Truth be known, the local rag leant far too far towards Woolworths in its efforts to report events. The editor tried so hard to be fair that he ended up favouring his brother's enemy. In any case, the people of Maleny are having the last say. We are simply not shopping at Woolworths. Check out Steven Lang's video on YouTube.
Woolworths a big company giant? What about IGA? Are they not also a big company giant? Also none of the community seems to have concise reason to "dislike" Woolworths. Construction over a habitat? What about the habitat before Maleny built farms and housing developments?
Woolworths have a larger variety of items, i'm assuming that Maleny is a minute town, with a resource like that, there just limiting themselves.
Oh btw, I work at a Woolworths doing check outs =D and i love it.
Nah, IGA is an association of small, independant, locally-owned shops. They all join the IGA so they can have the buying power of woolies or coles, so they can get stock cheaper from the wholesaler.
And I work at woolies too, but im a liquor 2ic manager :P
IGA practically imitates the prices of Woolworths. A lot of stock that Woolworths put up for special/reduced, ends up identical in the IGA catalogue the week after.
I don't think their dismissal for cheaper stock, animal plantation or corporation over throw should be their justification. It appears that they are afraid of change and growth.
Either way, A Current Affair has a strong stigmatization on reporting extremely bias and misleading reports.
uh yeah ok sauron017 'i bet they hate the fact they have jobs'?.. or maybe they dislike the woolworths store being there because it is having a negative impact on their own retail companies, thus threatening jobs. Maybe you should think before you post shit like that
Because a lot of the furore has been stirred up by the publisher of the local newspaper in Maleny .... who just happens to be the brother of the owner of the IGA supermarket there :)
cause woolies came in and messed up the town. i didnt care at all when they came in, but now because noone shops at woolies they have to shut early and they had a tanty and made iga have to close early and now nothings open at night anymore... argh. in the good old days i could go buy smokes right now, but thanks to woolies everythings been closed for the last 2 or 3 hours
