Right looks grim but perhaps even has better produce. Left looks like psychological marketing. Bright colours, cutesy font and what not. No idea how they actually are.
im from uk so im guessing we had aussie one
frick that place was so good for transformers as a kid, is it the same company like as asda is wallmart just under a different name or something ?
I'm not actually sure. I know that it isn't associated with the US version but otherwise dunno.
Don't know Woolies to have Transformers but Coles has these annual "collect them all" things called Little Shop Minis which are actually sort of adorable
everywhere has them my little sister collects them from uk stores
in woolworths when it was open in the uk it had an enormous toy section, it was basically the go to place for christmas presents for kids
Transformers you mean or Little Shops? In any case there are toys at a lot of Woolieses (not so much the smaller/older ones) but it's all cheep convenience store-tier junk

if they could make 1/10 micro machines in perfect detail those would be cool beans
Aussie woolworths is a supermarket. American woolworths was a department store (so they had a department for toys, like your transformers). You likely remember american woolies and have never seen aussie woolies.
yeah i remember it selling cushions and dining stuff
its all bloody confusing becasue all i know it doesnt exist in the uk anymore because it was in debt and sold for a penny. i thought we had aussies because part of the crown and all that
The UK has a long tradition of American department stores doing well here but shuttering stateside, Selfridges being the prime example.

the logos are the same colour and style, they look exactly like our stores selling the same shitty stuff, i nly know about the american ones because of amber reids obsession with the cheat tat she buys
which is exactly what ours sell
im probs getting confused and swapped them around
Considering how much they've complained to me about exactly the sort of people you're deriding, I would guess my aunt, uncle and cousins aren't bogans.
I can't make that decision. You'll have to ask them.

always had 6 derros outside of it. Now all the parking has been removed so it's absolutely fricking pointless going there anymore. I haven't been there in a while.
I live cross the street in Lyneham so it's a dream. But yeah derros fricking everywhere. I work in Civic so I just hit Coles every day and only go to Dickson if I have to on weekends. Fricking garbage place for an otherwise nice city and suburb
coles. but they're pretty much equal. lollies and snacks coles has that you scoop and weigh are good, and they have better bread and I think their meat is usually better too.apart from that they're nearly identical.
Franklins joined IGA so yes they are still there, just branded as IGA now >inb4 IGA bought-out Franklins
IGA is pretty much the best supermarket to support in Australia. It's not a corporation, it's a co-op of private grocers who opt-in to brand as IGA so they can join a national supply chain network that can compete with the Big Two but they don't have to be a corporate franchisee.
Every IGA has the benefit of a national cheap supply chain of produce, meat, groceries, etc but each market is an independent grocer who does what they want.
The IGA in Newtown has the best veggies in that entire shithole neighbourhood, the IGA in Canberra is the ONLY market that doesn't close on public holidays and they also sell booze. IGA as a co-op buy-in is literally the solution.
Weep not for good Franklins, they're in a better place now
I paid $3 for a capsicum and $1.50 for a tomato the other day

That Woolies branding is ancient
Not Aussie, but I have Aussie cousins in Perth and they swear by Woolies.
but anon Perthites are bogan trash

fair enough, I will give your extended family a pass as "the good ones"
hey can I stay with them for the eclipse next year?
I can't make that decision. You'll have to ask them.
