Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
Morning all. Done this weeks food shopping. We live a bit away from town, but Countdown deliver, so we use that. Have noticed a number of their items are now only available for store shoppers, but more costly similars are available on-line. Such is life I guess.
Had pizza last evening, and there was a slice left so I fried it for a minute this morning to crisp up the base, a great tasty and very easy breakfast.
We use Countdown Delivery as well. We’re a good hour away from a decent supermarket which, unless we have something else to purchase, would cost us at least $40 in fuel. So that decision is a no-brainer.
Noticed the “Unavailable online” change with our last shop. I don’t think it is them trying to get online shoppers to pay for more expensive products, I think it means there is no stock or perhaps low stock in the physical shop. I wouldn’t be surprised if online shopping is starting to strip shelves and if they don’t put on some restrictions when they are low in stock, their physical shelves might be a bit bare. Which wouldn’t be a good look for in shop shoppers. Just guessing.
Anyway, a quick look shows some things that were “Unavailable online” are now available - so my guess is that it’s related to a stocking issue, not something nefarious.
I had originally thought it may have something to do with rebranding and stock, but I’ve not seen any rebranding as yet?
I guess the logistics of catering for what is a very variable customer base, this week 500 orders, next week 50, is a tough one to handle. Living a bit remotely, our Countdown covers a huge area with its on-line deliveries. We’re just thankful it’s available for us.
Yep, us too.
