Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gam Nation, are you still quoting bad element? Well,
this woman has gone on, she's gone onto socials. It's
gone viral. She calls this a little supermarket hack. What
she does if you go into one of the supermarkets,
and her example is there's a kilo of pre wade
grapes in a plastic bag. She doesn't want a kilo,

(00:23):
so she says, which seems dirt, take out what you want,
put that in another bag and have that weighed, and
you're only paying for two hundred grams or whatever it
is you want.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
And people are going, yes, that's incredible.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
But what that means is then the person who comes
next is paying for a kilo bag because they barcoded.
They're not weighed because they've already been pre weade. So
in fact, the supermarket is being paid more. Yeah, so
it's a hack.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's a hack, but I can't. But that's not fair
on the next person, of course.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
And if Johnny, unaware just by his name alone, is
not aware that the grapes are a bit lighter. But
you could sit there and scan each interview, you're great
if you want it.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Of course you can. No one's stopping that.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
And I'd cite the case of when I go to
Bunnings and I buy a bunch of stuff. If I
get a nut and a bolt, gees man, I need
one of those nuts and boss, So I get the
nut and bolt and I pocket that because it's going
to take them longer, more staff powers.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's your decision to sort that out.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
That's a decision, and that Bunnings is a business that
has to keep moving that on a risk they're missing
out on other sales because there's stuff are mucking around
with her twenty cent part.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Having said that, if everyone stole something small and put
it in their pocket, where would Bunnings be?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Everyone thinks of.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Themselves in the Hope Diamond.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
No, that's what everyone says in the.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Hope Diamond Aisle.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Everyone steals a small thing. What does that tell you?
It's like, yes, I know what you are, ma'am.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
What is that joke? Would you have it off with
me for ten dollars?

Speaker 4 (01:47):
And no?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
How about a million? Maybe? Well I know what you are.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
When it's haggling over the price, it's like that, it
doesn't matter what value it is.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
It's the idea that you would do it where.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
It Odd's here okay, it's unlike.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Us sneaky the market rots do they pass the pub test.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
It doesn't past the pub test because they weigh those
grapes regardless of what how much do you take it
are out. I used to work for Woollly, so I
know for a fact because I was cast risk to
BRA the.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Cost living crisis and all that.

Speaker 6 (02:14):
You don't like more than the rods are. Okay? But
as I say, Sat, you rot if you're not involved.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
No, it doesn't pass the pup test. You should actually
pay for what you're looking to buy.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
Yes, does pass the pub test.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
I mean when you buy grapes, it doesn't matter if
you've taken any out because when you go to check out,
your purchase is done by weight.

Speaker 6 (02:33):
I do think it passes the pub test.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
The supermarkets take enough off everyone else.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
It's about someone make something back.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Get to the man past of the pub test. But
in turn, the lady with the grapes, you still only
pay for what's in there. You scan the bag to
tell them what the product is, and you only pay
for what's in the bag.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
No, it doesn't. I used to work for Bunnings and
people would go in and they'll take one or two
little items out of a packet because that's all they want.
And then Bunnings just takes up the packet and resells
it as a full thing. They don't care and Jonesy
Bunnings will track you down for that nutt and bolt.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Imagine if you've got to rest the terminator, show us
your nuts.

Speaker 6 (03:20):
You can

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Thank you for all your calls.
