The things that 'grind your gears' thread...

Bro paste this on their Facebook page and see what they have to say about it.

Anyway when at Coles in only ever use proper reusable bags not their shit plastic crap.

I rarely have to buy their bags anymore. I usually have a stack in the car, so this is the first time I've seen the ones with pre-holed handles for rapid destruction. But every bag they had in stock had the holes, so I'm guessing they addressed durability issues by making them a little less durable. If they've still got the pre-holed handles next time I forget bags I'll just pile my things in a trolley and bag things at home. It's not the price that bothers me it's the thinly veiled fallacy that they've started selling re-usable bags to help the environment rather than improve profit. Because we all know that thicker plastic is obviously better for the environment than thin plastic bags. The new re-usable bags will stick in the environment for far longer.

Actually Coles have killed off the Down Down slogan as of about 2 months ago.

Yeah the obese abo version of Ronald Mcdonald probably caused them to lose sales.

Gone are the days when mates would shoot fire balls into the back of mates heads.

Trying to burn their stash before Australia day (which I'm already priming myself for mind you).

Imagine their "O" / "Bedroom" faces then!

annnd just to confirm (as I just got a visual in my head), things are most definitely Down Down and Staying RIGHT Down at that thought.

@Alan79 I asked Coles about this. This was their response *rolls eyes*

Needless to say, I asked them to elaborate.

At least coles have stock on their shelves.
Woolworths at bankstown is shocking they don’t restock their shelves frequently enough

I could have told you this lol.... sometimes when the bags are empty they slip off when using the larger handles, which is why you'll see the checkout chics use the middle one

I don't want to think about either of them in the bedroom.. That alone was enough trauma for one lifetime

I'm pretty sure they're not referring to the holes in the handles that I am. They're probably referring to the holes in the top of the bags themselves. Those holes are to hang the bags at the checkout. The holes in the handles are good for no purpose I can see.

Also, what does Aretha Franklin have to do with Australia?
