WOOLWORTHS WANT TO SELL MORE CONFECTIONARY – REALLY?

July 14th 2010 02:41
Woolworths want to sell more confectionery at their checkouts instead of magazines.

They've probably realised that the amount of time I stand at the check out I've read the entire magazine so there's no need to buy it.

But keep me waiting long enough and I'll probably give in and buy a damn chocolate.

Fun Facts
What I always find ridiculous, and it's probably done on purpose too for the same reasons, is that if you do find a supermarket with a lolly free checkout, it's usually not even open and in use, thereby forcing you to pick the checkout with all the 'goodies' on display... Just so they can say that they DO have lolly free checkouts!

Mum's Word
Hi Melissa,

You know what, I'm going to keep an eye out for this and see if my local Woollies does it.

It's all about spin isn't it?

Thanks for the visit.

Love & stuff
Mrs M

You sound like me, Mrs M. I use the time for flicking thru the mags and I have no problem resisting buying them. But chocolate... that's much harder.

Hi Tracy,

I usually try to speed read because I'm waiting for the check out person to tell me that this isn't a library.

Love & stuff
