Who needs to employ a local worker to run a checkout when the consumer would rather do the job themselves to save 10c on their T-shirt purchase.Squadly dinky do!

Learning is right.
Everybody says they want kiwi ethics from companies. But when it comes to mass market businesses getting the majority to part with a few extra cents to cover the higher cost associated with being an ethical supplier the masses vote with their feet and dollars and head to the lowest cost provider.
The warehouse is getting flogged by Kmart who were a basket case themselves till they moved to a lowest. cost provider - cut their offering and pushed suppliers to lower their cost or be deleted.
To to be fair the choice to be ethical is not the only issue The Warehouse faces, Kmart do a far better job than the warehouse on many metrics so I doubt they'll be competitive even as a low cost provider but

As a low cost provider K Mart is not interested is small population bases, the mountain doesn't come to Muhammad.
They have 2 stores in Wellington and the 400k500k ppl of the greater wellington region travel to these stores specifically to shop there. I'm guessing a few stores maybe 4-5 across Auckland and potentially a store in one or two of the other large cities around the country.Last edited by Don't believe the Hype; 07-04-2018, 12:12 PM.

As you get older, you realise many things are more nuanced.
But yes, not sure why a guy who sells flags online comes on here and tells us we're all evil.Squadly dinky do!

Same parent, quite different pricing and presentation. New World customers pay more for the same and there does not seem to be any shortage of customers.
I suspect that the difference is demographical.
With both Pan 'n' Save and the Junkhouse.

Originally posted by Learning View PostThere’s a few places around like that. When Woolworths changed to Countdown they kept the stores despite being so close to each other. It makes some sense when you think about it, if they’d sold one of them, PnS or NW would have jumped in there and increased competition.Last edited by Perry; 08-04-2018, 12:37 PM.Squadly dinky do!
