00:00What do you want to say to the fact that your company is profiting off price gouging during the context of the cultural living crisis?
00:09Thank you for reaching out to talk to us. We're doing everything that we can to recognise that customers are doing a job and make sure that they're able to get free prices at all levels.
00:19I really don't believe that. Millions of people in Australia right now have to skip meals in order to survive. Can you sleep at night knowing that?
00:28I know that our team are doing everything that we can to support our customers. We understand that it is an incredibly difficult time right now.
00:36If you understood then maybe you'd be prepared to give up the billion dollars that the company has been making in the last year.
00:42We have lowered prices and you can see that right through our store. We've got some great value for our customers and that's a tribute to the ladies here.
00:50I don't believe that. Woolworths is actually being hauled into federal court for actual shams with the supposed discounts that are being promoted.
01:01I don't think working class people will buy that and accept that.
01:05Thank you so much for sharing your views. We appreciate it.
01:07Ordinary people have to be starving and skipping meals. Your company is making uber profits off an essential food.
01:14We've just walked past Aldi.
01:16Off food. That should be a human right.
01:18Can you give feedback to our team who are serving customers every day?
01:24I'm sure they do and workers as well are actually suffering because of the profits that your company is making.
