Hi Mr Fish Two stories from the Sunny Coast with WW Buderim - application went in but public did not want it but store built anyway and I talked to the butcher in the main street and WW were selling meat cheaper than he could buy it Other street stores the same, driven out by prices they could not afford Maleny --- similar story and the new store was almost empty for a long time before people started to use it In both cases the residents did not want them but the council still gave them permits to open Lots of independent people in the hills behind the CoastJan 2023 Woolworths will close 250 of its 300 remaining in-store butcher counters, in a move that’s set to cut almost 500 jobs. The supermarket giant informed staff of the measure on Thursday, revealing it will instead move its focus towards pre-packaged meat. Thirty per cent of stores currently have a meat counter, which accounts for just four per cent of Woolworths’ meat sales. So drive shop front, real butchers out and then cut the service by cutting out the butcher as well, and selling stuff in plastic from goodness knows where, it called a monopoly which was illegal in earlier times

Yeh, i did my trade up the sunny coast, i use to live in Buderim through some of that time and knew a few butchers that owned the shops up there, i didn't know the Maleny ones but use to go Maleny years ago now and then. yeh Monopoly or some other word they use for them and thats not free markets, free markets and capitalism doesn't allow them. In most industries here now though.
