Coles caught out claiming months old bread was baked that day
Coles caught out claiming months old bread was baked that day
Supermarket chain Coles has been banned for three years from advertising that its bread was made or baked on the day it was sold.

29 Sep 2014 - 11:44 AM UPDATED YESTERDAY 11:44 AM
Coles was also ordered to display a Federal Court notice in its stores and on its website telling shoppers that it had broken Australian consumer law by falsely advertising bread products as "freshly baked" and "baked today".
Federal Court judge James Allsop made the ruling on Monday after Coles was found guilty in June for making false, misleading and deceptive representations in relation to the freshness of its bread.
Coles has been banned from promoting its bread as baked on the day it is being sold or made from fresh dough for three years.
It must tell consumers of the ban and that it had been found to have made the false, misleading and deceptive representations by advertising bread as fresh when it had been made and partially baked and then frozen, sometimes months earlier overseas.
The court is yet to make a decision on whether to fine Coles, which faces penalties of more than $3 million.
The case was brought by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission after former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett complained when he discovered a loaf of Coles bread that was advertised as freshly baked in-store had been made in Ireland.
Edit: Made in Ireland ???... deceitful corporate bastards!
I hope Coles customers decide to support their local bakery now.

I hear you guys, do you remember when the plebs (politicians) first started pushing the benefits of corporate privatization into the public domain, my god they're good. And this is where we are today. The system works fine, lets not whinge lol.
If they request to view my purchasing receipt before leaving a store, no probs,. "walk with me to my car and I'll show you",, they CAN NOT say no & they CAN NOT prevent you from leaving the store.
You have already agreed to the request
We can all play their game.

Years ago I went into a Cole's with a big backpack to put my shopping in and do the walk home,when I put my trolley off goods through the checkout they ask my to look in my pack and I replied ,sure there it is you can open it if you want then they replied, Oh sir you have to open it for us ! to which I replied I dont have to do anything then I went none responsive and wouldn't engage them any further...fucken ****'s called the cop's and I had to go through the same routine with them,turned into a big stand off where no one would open the bag..they settled for telling me to pay for my goods and leave and don't come back so I got right on my high horse and made my speech about the fact that I haven't done anything wrong and they couldn't stop me coming into there shop without a court order yadda yadda I wasted a shit load off people's time ,4 cole's dudes and 2 cop's laughing all the time thinking I love being a **** and had something to talk about when I got home now I'm just spiteful I get 1/2 a k off smoked salmon from the deli and stash it behind the nappy's

Hell yeah
lol...just got back from bunnings today (bought some ISO to clean the bong)....i go to walk out the shop and showed the woman at the door the inside of my bag(pulled out the bag of chemist meds and palmed my pen that was in my bag in the same hand)...and rolling around the bottom of my bag was the ISO....and i say "i just bought that!" ....she says.."have you got a receipt?" ....i let out a huge sigh,shake my head and roll my eyes and say "yeeeaaa!" (in a dopey voice) and say (again in a dopey voice) "I wouldn't have volunteered to show you whats in my bag if i didn't just buy it and was trying to steal it!"...(shit i would have put it else where wouldn't I????...like in a pocket of the bag she didn't
check?!?)...and her reply"ahhh well ya dont know?".
...really brainless....shit like that stops me shopping at a business...stupidity....i payed for it 20 feet away,directly in front of her....if she wasn't standing there chatting to people she would have seen that!
stopped going to my closest chemist the other week....standing...standing....waiting...standing(in pain...there for meds)...knew that i was next...and this young new guy, when i walk towards him and say hi "tells me to join the back of this queue" and says like i am being rude jumping the queue..."other people have been waiting longer than you"(they weren't i saw them walk in) (and they all look at me in disgust like he knows what he's talking about and I'm a queue jumping scumbag)....needless to say i just walked out the store and wont be going back!!
coles...woolworths....wont shop there(unless I'm some where where i NEED something and that is the only shop...thats very rare)...people just dont get it....support them and when all competition is gone...they will start to screw you.....
and they are con men!!!....all the shit they advertise hormone free beef...ummmm (supposedly) no one puts hormones in beef...scare mongering!....and today(and has been pissing me off each time i think about it) 100% aussie chicken...?...what?...where does our chicken normally come from?....here ...right?....again scare mongering.......bunch of pathetic lying scumbags that use trickery and rip off our farmers and intimidate them to buy products on the cheap....
ahhhh rant relief

We had the best pie shop in the entire world , it was family run by baker's that loved their craft ,people that took pride and were setting out to make the best possible product they could and they were the best pie's that I ever ate in my life then one fateful day a Michel's Patisserie came to town and set up shop selling their awful factory mass produce rubbish and ate into the profit off the local family business to the point they were no longer viable and close leaving Michel's Patisserie who shut up shop a few months later stating they couldn't make money in a small town and fucked off...the moral off the story is Michel's Patisserie is a pack of f@c&en ****'s
