#NZ online #retail #startup #Supie says #grocery suppliers' requests 'clearly #price-fixing' https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/business/487429/online-grocery-retailer-says-suppliers-pressuring-them-to-increase-prices

I hope Supie spreads south fast.
Meanwhile, from my first visit to #TheWarehouse's wide-ranging grocery section this week, I think the duopoly is already threatened here. #Feilding doesn't have a #PaknSave so I can't compare it with The #Warehouse but some of the #prices looked like serious #competition for #Countdown. I filled my shopping bag for the 20-minute trudge home.

Flip's old shell pool broke a while ago, so we binned it before we moved.

Was considering getting a new one (the standard one from #TheWarehouse etc) , but I see #Kmart has a slightly different design and it's a set of two for cheaper (sand pit and paddle pool).

One of the reviews claims the Kmart ones are sturdier, has anyone purchased them and can attest to that? 🐚 #NZTwits

The first step of #TheWarehouse #chatbot is to ask for name and email

Putting aside the fact the #privacy implications (it is covered on the #PrivacyAgreement on page 3 of 10, so near the start)

But isn't this an awful #CX? How did this get through acceptance testing? Who was the Customer advocate? Is anyone wondering why customer usage is so light (or does it actually meet their business case estimates)?

My daughter and I saw the captain of the #SilverFerns at #TheWarehouse today.

My nearly 12yo son wants to learn how to #crochet so he can ultimately make an #amigurimi #IronMan. I’m currently teaching him and my 13yo daughter how to do the chain stitch. This has inspired me to do a little crochet project while I’m at it. I’m planning to make a giant #GrannySquare blanket, using some #RovingYarn I bought a few months ago from #TheWarehouse. Something to hold me over till my #YarnStash arrives from the US, InshAllah.

I like trying to nurse plants back to health. This here is a #coleus that I got today from #TheWarehouse. Couldn’t beat the price!
