( I bought COL at 16.10 ... changed my original bid from 16 b'cos I had to go out ) .
brief report on experience of COLEs ... yep, agree, annoying so many staff mucking about with stock on shelves (i.e. not simply re-stocking but fiddling with stock thats already on shelves), bashed cans are a personal hate (indicative of staff that just dont care ?), fruit like apples and tangerines that are less than 80% perfect, shoppers putting hands into the nuts (and lollies) to chew on (" sampling" ... not too hygienic) with no staff /security stopping them. Often see shoppers/kiddies wandering thru shops whilst scoffing food (did they pay for the scoff ? I dunno). Self-serve works quite well except annoying if Ive got a mobile in my "empty" shopping bag and system gets annoyed.
Trading hours at ALDI ? Same as COLES (for me) .... except that my local COLES is closed all day every day .... yep, Chadstone. Australia's largest shopping centre is being renovated. ( Apparently, also a huge amount of stock was dumped when renovations started). Tooronga Coles is open and all stock is perfect, trollies always non-wobbly ... but then Tooronga customers are wealthy and very fussy. Burwood Coles is OK with spacious shelving. Oakleigh Coles ? Ok, but not many other shops for non-groceries (unless you go out into the mall, and thats scruffy).
Expecting today's SP to be up , a fair bit. (Guessing obviously) 16.55, maybe more
