By comparison to Big W, over the last three years, the breadth/scope and quality of items stocked by Kmart has plummeted south They deleted significant number of automotive, gardening, white goods, etc items. I no longer visit their shit store.................

Maybe people sometimes think ‘I have enough stuff’.

I will go right now to help out. You’re welcome

NO WAGES ONLY SPEND

Great. That's less superfluous plastic crap going to landfill by late Feb.

Now will retailers admit that cutting into their staff's wages was a bad idea?

They haven't made anything out of me for several years now because most of they now is just cheap and nasty rubbish.

Did Kmart rise up wages for its staff?

There stuiped new store layout wouldnt help i refuse to go in there anymore

It is the register set up its so rediculous

Retail sales declining is a general trend while wages are stagnant but taxes and costs rise. But the fact you have to drive to a deep suburban location, fight for parking, and struggle through milling crowds in grotesque shopping cities might have something to do with it too.

Black Friday boosts retail sales, as shoppers bring forward Christmas spendingNovember was a good month for retailers, as shoppers brought forward their Christmas spending, but analysts are concerned it may leave a hole in traditional December pre-Christmas and Boxing Day sales. The problem with Aus retail is online sales. The problem exists because of our postal service. The retail industry needs to work with Australia Post to create a better delivery service (and force the government to fund AusPost properly) which would benefit them both immensely.

Five girls under 15 take their own lives in nine-day periodFive indigenous teenage girls between the ages of 12 and 15 years of age have taken their own lives in the past nine days. Men, read the rationale male series, Rollo Tomassi, break out of the matrix youve been indoctrinated into. The government doesn't raise these kids - their parents do. Just as do the parents of other Aussie kids. The government shouldn't be meddling in the lives of people based on race. Very sad. Very tragic and of course this needs to be addressed. But no needs to mention the higher suicide rate for men coz that's another expression of male violence & ToxicMasculinity. Now where were we? Oh yes, gynocentrism and the feminist narrative
